Is there a way to put a cut line around a banner or something inside versaworks.. Normally we put them on designs we do in Illy, but when a customer sends us artwork that we don't have the font for...or a jpeg or something is there a way to print cut lines on them? Been using the fotoba cut...

Cheerleaders, bless their hearts, come up with some of the wildest ideas for signs I've ever seen... This is the latest... How would you go about making an 18x24 that says something on its face...and then is able to fold and say something different on the same face.. As I envision it there...

I recently bought a volvo 240 for 300 bucks..it has some dings and dents but otherwise runs great and has low miles 130k (lol) The paint is coming off and is rusty in some areas, but could turn into a very stylish car....something for me to fiddle with on the weekends. My question is this...

Had a customer order a 10x27 foot banner and now he says he didn't want it and that we had discussed doing it in panels because they would be more durable... If we had discussed it, I would have told him that it would have been thousands of dollars, not the upper hundred that I quoted him. Add...

I am usually deep into production and don't get much chance to design...when I do design I run into a problem.... How do I break text lines up? Like on yard signs or 4x8s.... My go to method is using lines...but I feel like an amateur tattoo artist doing what I know best for everyone... Mind...

I bought some crappy 15 dollar walmart sneakers...2 months later the tread and back stylings were coming off and flapping as I walked... While out smoking, I had the idea to use my lighter on them...sure enough it worked! They smoked up and melted and I simply pressed the 2 parts together...

Are you the owner, the designer, the production manager, or the grunt? Of course everyone probably likes to think they do it all or some combination of the 6 but to keep the math simple lets pick your primary focus for the poll Post below your jack of all trades if you want :)

This may be a basic question but I still have some confusion... Lets use for example cheap oracal 3621 (removable) and Oracal 3640 (permanent) Both use water based adhesives. Both say they last 4 years...and from what I have read the only difference is that you can cleanly remove the...

First off...We bought this roll because it was marketed as optically clear. We usually use 210.. We had a storefront window that the customer wanted window perf on so we thought this would be a good way to protect it as well as using it for back glass perf... #1. It is not optically clear..at...

Yeah I gummed them up...what do you guys use to clean them...I was thinking denatured alcohol but maybe its too aggressive They are red silicone type

Do you slap a decal or god forbid cut vinyl tags on the backs or even fronts of your signs and banners? Why or why not? Or "oh my God we should be doing that!" To answer the obvious question, we do in the back corner...using scrap.

I know you guys have some magic power to ID fonts Which one is the "RV"? :U Rock:

We work with digital printers plotters and other neat stuff...what kind of things can we make our kids or wives to bring home? Just off the top of my head, I made a pizza for my 2 year old out of scrap alumacore from a shaped sign..he loved it but it was kinda dangerous... Made the wife nice...

Custom cut out tags that hang from your rear view mirror? We are looking at a decent amount (smacks self for not asking the customer). Its a large company.

So when printing on 30 inch material. Normally...I go to cut and it always says remove media clamps every time I always click enter and it cuts the sheet off. Now when I do the same thing...the carriage runs just past the material then zips back to its housing and it pops up with remove media...

There is something about it. It is almost like it is harder to look at, yet at the same time looks better and feels more effective. (my opinion) Maybe someone with a color theory background can chime in but I am looking at the print now and it is hard for my eyes to process it but it looks...

54 inch...came in this morning to see it unspooled in a pile on the floor... At the end of the day I just open the pinch rollers so they don't get a flat spot and just let the material drop. There was never any sense taking it off the printer because we would just use it in the morning. Never...

Which masking tape do you guys use where you can't use your magnets? We've tried all manner masking tape and nothing is that great? I'm guessing its a 3m product of some kind but do they sell it at wal-mart?

Yes we are using the cheapie AK model... It works for everything but today we used pvc or celtac or cintra or whatever you call it for the first time and it skewed the prints horribly... Is it just because they are kinda slippery? Does anyone else have this problem with their high dollar lams?

Normally I use offset paths to create my cut line..unfortunately when you use an effect such as a drop shadow or extrude and bevel that trick doesn't work anymore. Is there another trick? Besides clicking my way to a cut line?
