Gene Azevedo replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"I remembered that I always had problems with Solutions Clear (it's been a long time since I tried to use it). I was going to print, and then let it dry before cutting. I figured that would be the best bet. It only crinkles on…"
Kathy MacMannis replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!" Ok, I'm confused though why are you trying to print first? And that is terrible for your friend, kinda puts things in perspective!!!

Gene Azevedo replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Hi Kathy-
I do usually cut first and then print, but this isn't an issue with that. When I try to print first, it crinkles before I ever get to the cutting part.
My original thinking was in line with yours though...I was going to have my…"
Kathy MacMannis replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Gene have you tried cutting first then going back and printing?? Seems to me I think I've heard that before and I think I have even tried it. I have had problems with the solutions clear myself and at some point need to spend some…"
Gene Azevedo replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Thanks Eric-
That's about the same as I came up with, but my method took way more steps. I guess I was trying to be more precise, but it wouldn't really make a difference with a white shirt, and I didn't end up any more precise…"
Gene Azevedo replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Hi Steven-
The solutions clear was printed with the Solutions Clear profile, which is uni-directional, and I believe 400mm/sec. The 400mm/sec is grayed out, so I think that is the speed it was printing at. I was printing first and then…"
"I have never used Solutions Clear, why did it crinkle up?"
Admin replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"try bumping your cutline out from the design by 2 tenths of an inch. The crinkling can be caused by the media being cut while it is not fully cured and it wanting to "pull" in. Also if that is not the cause, slow down…"
Gene Azevedo replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Thanks Lady Di-
That was definitely a faster way to do the outside cutline! Would you have cut out the inside logo, or leave as a large solid piece of vinyl?
Thanks,

Eric Adler replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"I imported the pdf you attached into Corel to take a look at it. It seems to be pretty clean. All I would do is add a thin white outline around the cogs that would easily weed and give it a cutline. In addition, I would have left…"
CYW replied to Gene Azevedo's discussion How would you tackle this order? There has to be a better way!"Those crazy brushstrokes don't make the job any easier..........but if you're using clear, at least you don't have to worry about them so much. Your cutline doesn't have to be pristine

Hi Everyone-I'm in the middle of an order, and have to take a break to relieve some of the stress. We have a Versacamm VP540i, but don't use it for shirts too often. Most of the shirts we do are team sports with just names and numbers. We got an order for 16 shirts, same print on front and back of the shirt. White shirts with logo...seems easy enough. I'm attaching the supplied artwork, which I thought was pretty good compared to the 15kb jpgs that some people bring.First trouble started…See More

Hi Everyone-I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. It's been a while since I've been on here...extremely hectic around here! I hope this is ok for the classified forum...it's sort of an anti-classified! I was wondering if any of you also do sublimation and use an Epson 4800? I'm looking for a chip from the cartridge of an empty Cyan cartridge. I have a bulk system, and the chip just went out on me! Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks, GeneSee More
