  1. Software Help Blowing Up Images in Photoshop

    I take this approach without any problems. Start with the highest res you can get. An experienced designer can spot the difference from an original image and a copy of a copy of a scan or an image grabbed from facebook. Don't worry about resampling/resizing it through photoshop or any other...
  2. Veloster Windshield Curve (Bottom)

    Uh...pretty much what I said. btw You can make yourself a little handy macro to quickly resize photos to scale.

  3. Printed Decal

    I personally hate working with other peoples vehicle graphics. Not saying it shouldn't be done but don't expect it to be quick and easy. Once you find a source you'll likely go back and forth for a bit to get what you need. All wraps and/or graphics are printed differently. And we all use...
  4. Veloster Windshield Curve (Bottom)

    I personally wouldn't call it a banner. "Window graphic" or "visor graphic". Just me. I also hate referring to web graphics as "banners" Anyway, if you plan to market several choices I'd say it would behoove you to make your own template. Find/know someone to lend you a veloster. Use transfer...
  5. Question Help! Contour Cut Issues

    Another method would be to make two cuts. First cut normal then an outer offset contour cut about an eighth of an inch to do the punch cut or "Half Cut" as they like to call it. Also note that the blades you buy come with specs to set your offset and speed. And for giggles...

  12. Cut plotting on printable magnet

    I take it they're asking for many magnets? Clipped corners"? "Rounded" corners? Why not outsource it? We do custom magnets in-house but only limited numbers otherwise way cheaper to outsource.
  13. What Is The Monthly Software Rental Fee Total If You Rent Like A Drunken Sailor?

    Yep. I see that now. Options 1. Purchase the upgrade if eligible @ $199 ea (we use 4) = approx $800. Good for as long as you want to use it. Usually 5-8 years 2.

  16. HP360 color inconsistencies lately

    Yes, that's what my solution was. Except no need to "flatten" the png or convert to jpg. Just powerclip into a circle. - still a workaround not an acceptable fix What about the pantone color shift? No reason for it to change just because raster images are thrown in the mix. And yes, my theory...
  17. HP360 color inconsistencies lately

    blue background is cmyk vector, pantone colored square, and transparent rgb png. Best way we've found to match pantone colors would be to use pdf.
  18. HP360 color inconsistencies lately

    Test print 1 = vector square with pantone fill - exported as pdf Test print 2 - vector sq w/pantone & transparent png/tif on blue background. Test 1 is perfect test 2 vector pantone is way out & transparent raster image has a background color shift.
  19. HP360 color inconsistencies lately

    We've been having some strange issues with our HP360. We're using Flexi Production Manager RIP.. Co-worker exported a batch of files as pdf (raster and vector elements). Prints are good but one of the prints gets ruined during installation. Export the 1 re-print as a pdf same as before and now...
