  3. SIGN GOLD 22KT LARGE ENGINE TURNED

    Hello. I need to find a distributor who would have in stock a 5 yrd roll or (2) 2 yard rolls of Sign Gold LET 22kt 24" wide by 5 yrds, unpunched, non printable. Does anyone know of a vendor who stocks this product and doesn't drop ship? Thank you.
  4. Summa S2 cutting reading marks on chrome

    This is what I do. Printing and cutting on large engine turned gold (imitation) does not work. First I print all the marks. Take a square 1.5" x 1.5" cut from White vinyl and cut a crop mark sized square hole in the middle. I knock out the center cut square, place this over the crop mark...

  7. adding crop mark tabs over existing crop marks

    You have to color it in because I use only the Black ink cartridge in making the crop marks and it does appear to be light. I could bump it up and put 20, 20, 20, 100 to get a richer Black crop mark. The Gerber Edge was a lot easier to use when printing and cutting on this type of vinyl. lol
  8. adding crop mark tabs over existing crop marks

    Won't work because the sensor picks up the faceted circles of the large engine turned gold leaf and throws it off. Thanks for the reply.
  9. adding crop mark tabs over existing crop marks

    Question. I am printing on fake large engine turned Gold vinyl. My printer, Mimaki JV150 prints the crop marks using SignLab 10. Now I do not have the camera option on the Summa. I have the Summa S2T160. So what I have to do is print crop marks onto White vinyl then cut into squares of maybe...

    SignLab has a fill thats large and small engine turn. I’ve used it a few times and it look good. I’ve even taken a photo of Quick Gold and used that as a fill in SignLab and it also turned out nice.
