Getting Started with Your Vinyl Printing Project
Utilizing our vinyl printer is straightforward and accessible. While the printer use itself is free, material costs apply, ensuring you only pay for what you use. To optimize your workflow and design process:
The Roland VersaWorks software, which controls our vinyl printer/cutter, is an intuitive tool that empowers you to refine your designs. With VersaWorks, you can easily crop, scale, flip, and even multiply your prints to maximize material usage and project efficiency. However, to ensure a smooth and efficient printing experience, it’s highly recommended to have your design finalized and print-ready before you arrive.
Making a reservation for a Digital Creation Station beforehand is a great idea. Booking in advance guarantees machine availability and allows you dedicated time to focus on your project. Alternatively, arriving early provides an opportunity for our knowledgeable staff to review your files and offer any necessary guidance before your printing session begins.
You can create your designs using a variety of popular software programs, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and even Microsoft Office applications. Simply ensure your files are saved in a compatible format such as PDF, JPG, or TIFF to ensure seamless compatibility with the printer software. For projects using adhesive and static cling materials, our printer can also perform a perforation cut after printing. This feature simplifies the process of peeling and removing your designs, particularly beneficial for intricate cuts or larger quantities.
Remember, our trained staff is always on hand to assist you. A staff member is required to prepare the machine for each user, ensuring proper setup and operation, and providing support throughout your printing process. Unleash your creativity and explore the exciting world of vinyl printing today!
