  1. Cut Contour issue with PDF.

    Try the attached. Long time VersaWorks user here. I actually have version 5.51. I think the inability to see the contour cut has to do with transparencies in the file. Try saving your pdfs as Acrobat 4 (PDF1.3) and set your Overprint/Transparency Flattener to High Resolution in Advanced...

  8. Edge printing white on clear static cling

    It's been a LONG time since I EDGE printed but one thing I remember with specialty vinyls that helped was to turn the heat down. I seem to recall many occasions where the foil would bond to the vinyl instead of just transferring. And it wasn't fun to tape the ripped foil back together to...
  9. Paneling a 20'x12' sign

    Could you just use 4x12 or 5x12 sheets? That would keep all of your seams vertical which is better and install would be easier.

  11. High Temp Decals

    I have a small job in the works for kettle stickers that will be used indoors, however, adhered to boiling hot stainless steel water kettles. The decals are pretty small, 5" circles and such. They must be fluorescent. I'm seeing that the 3M wrap fluorescent yellow is rated at 225ºF surface...
  12. VFW Logo

    If you search for and download the VFW logo guidelines pdf, I believe it is vectorized on page 53. Probably a good idea to read through and adhere to the guidelines though.
  13. Hope this is not a dumb question...

    Here is the way I look at it. If I am providing a service to specifically create a logo for a client, usually as part of their signage project, then I would offer to provide them with all necessary formats at the end of the job. But logo creation should definitely be a separate fee or built in...
  14. Roland Crop Marks giving shifted cuts

    What RIP are you using? Are you centering or getting media width AFTER the print and BEFORE the cutting? In Versaworks, I'm pretty sure that if you click "Get Media Width" after you load the laminated print back in, it will mess with your print/cut alignment. You have to just load in the...

  17. Retractable banner stands with velcro leader

    Many of the retractable stands, especially the economy ones are only meant to be used once. One of the work arounds is to just cut the banner off right where it butts to the leader's adhesive strip, then just clear tape your new banner over it. Since the height of the banner is determined by...

  19. Food Trailer Wrap Question

    It would work good as a parked billboard but yeah, up-close when ordering I would think that I'm at a Minecraft themed food truck. I think the customer has a valid issue with the resolution.
