We don't have the FineCut plug-in, just rasterlink tools. I tried installing the FineCut trial but rasterlink tools seemed to have what I needed? I'm just opening the EPS files in rasterlink - when i open the test file from mimaki it identifies the cut layer, but for the files I output from AI...

Hi All, we have a UCJV300-160 from Mimaki and we've never been able to get the print/cut function to work from files we lay out. We're using Rasterlink tools in illustrator - setting up files with Printed art on one layer, CutContour Spot color paths on another layer for cutting, saved as EPS...

Our company works primarily in apartment/development signage so having a way to go through plans and get sign counts is critically important. I'm curious what other companies use to get this process done efficiently. We used to do them primarily in AI but have moved over to InDesign. After a...

Hey did you ever figure out how to do this? Even the latest Flexi doesn't seem to allow alternate characters.

Client set us the attached reference photos for a job, I'm trying to identify what material is used for the bases on these signs. Masonry is not my area of expertise but I want to be able to accurately preview the base on proofs and have the ability to explain to our mason what product we are...

Our Print guy is planning to give them a call next week. We've been slammed so we've had to push a few white/clear ink jobs though Rasterlink, but I would really like to be able to run everything through onyx. Hopefully they will catch up. If we figure anything out, I'll let you know,

Hey did you ever have luck with this? We recently purchased the a #Mimaki and are having the exact same issue.

I don't think any were used on this job. for regular acm we seem to be able to skip them but they might be worth looking into for the brushed material. Thx!

Honestly, not sure. I'll check with our CNC guy, thanks for the suggestion.

Printer: HP FB750 Stock Material: Brushed ACM (8031 AluPoly) Sorry if this is a redundant thread, I flipped through a few similar discussions but couldn't find anything addressing this particular issue. We've had issues for years with Full color full-bleed images chipping around the edges...

Yep, we finally convinced the client that they were full panels of clear vinyl. We have an HP flatbed with white ink but with thin clear vinyl getting it registered for the second color print is not working out great.

Client wants to copy existing graphics they have at an office in NY to a new office here in NC. They have sent us photos but have a very hard time explaining how the graphics appear in real life. Working with what we have as far as files and photos of the existing vinyl we have figured out that...

Bobby H Yep. I would tend to agree. But, this was still the task I was given. Signage design jobs are hard to come by and I owe this company quite a bit. At the end of the day I am going to do my best to complete any work given, in this case that means trying to optimize the workflow in the...

yeah... we typically have new hires to the design department do this job but eventually they get dragged into the more complex work. We're an "everyone needs to wear many hats" kind of company so the same designers that do the plan reviews, design the signs, make the shop drawings, and setup...

I'm not concerned with file organization right now really, we have that part pretty straightened out, though I may be misunderstanding you. It's more an issue when it comes to the actual shop drawings themselves. The goal is to be able to push more of the spec'ing workload onto project managers...

I am asking what programs other signage companies use to make shop drawings. Not asking someone to figure out the issue of variable importing. I was providing that information simply as background for what I had tried before. You seem to actively trying to get other users to stop answering what...

What kind of quantity is your client looking for? If it's not a mass order then you could just look for a local shop with laser cutting capabilities, they tend to run cheaper than getting a custom die made.

No, did you watch that video? It does use the method I am talking about but he is only able to bring in one set of data at a time (like the 1-up sticker he is using) he then has to save that one up image as a PDF. This method creates a different file for each set of data. This does not work for...

No, a "Set" of data in this case is one row in excel, not one file. So if i have my information in a table: sign: Color: Finish: Size: Install: 1 Blue Gloss 8x6 vhb 2 green matte 8x6 vhb I would only be able to bring in...

ddarlak these are threaded rods with nuts on both sides, there is no way to flip them around
