CYW replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"My Versacut is a workhorse, cuts through really heavy coro and corrugated cardboard like a champ
I've never had a problem cutting banners but I have had fraying cutting thin paper if the blade isn't sharp.
Is your blade old?
You know you…"
Family Fan Club replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"Ok, I've done some sample test cuts with Versa Cut and I'm getting fraying, is that due to dull blade? Think a sharper blade will eliminate the fray? Hand cut with scissors doesn't seem to produce the fray on the sides.…"
John H. replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Photo prep for Wall Graphics"I just change it for raster, cause I usually convert to bit map before exporting or flatten as the Illustrators call it. also I check preserve icc profile if not already done "
Family Fan Club replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Photo prep for Wall Graphics"When you set perceptual, do you set that for just the Raster or for the Vector too?"
Family Fan Club replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Photo prep for Wall Graphics"I haven't tried Perceptual, but I will try that."
CYW replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Photo prep for Wall Graphics"I usually try to color correct in editing software before I bring the file into VW, so I may not be of much help
But are you also using Perceptual under the PrePress settings?

What prep work, adjustments are people making prior to printing a wall graphic on Graphtex (Seramark replacement at IW)? I've got what look like great photos, printing with MCVP profile, Prepress US and they print great...but it seems in certain areas it's extra dark, like it's over saturated. I figure there's something I could be doing to prepare / make / improve the print quality.Any suggestions?See More
Mike F replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"I print with margin marks set to 1", gives me my 1" all around for the hem tape."
Butch replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"I print lines, use a Olfa knife and a drywall square for a straight edge while cutting."
CYW replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"I've also tried cutting the long straight line in sections on the Versacut.
It helps tremendously if you have a skinnier banner and therefore more wiggle room.
If you have enough 'flap', you can slit the excess banner down to the…"
John H. replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"Cutting banners straight is a bummer for sure but I never thought of printing a line as a guide for cutting!!
Thanks for the tip, great forum for those new to it, just following threads there's good info you can pick up."
CYW replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"Me too........... like Steven says I print lines as a guide but like Irv says, it's still not a fun job.
If you're hemming with tape, the cut isn't so critical because it will be hidden on the back.
ps.............I love, love,…"

irving donaldson replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"I have done this many times but hate it each time. The longest was a 2'x16' cut from a 4'x16 feet. I folded it in half and clamped it. Remember if not loaded correctly it will not print straight so lines might be a good idea. A client…"
Dennis Dunning replied to Family Fan Club's discussion Cutting Vinyl Banners to size"If the client only wants the width specified; yes, print lines and cut in sections with a sharp blade. When clients ask for widths smaller than the roll itself, I often ask if they would like the extra width and use it for installing grommets."

Yes - I ended up using the Seramark and it went overwell well for the "ESI Eyes" (our version of Eye Black). We also did up a few tattoos of the school logo as well.
