Getting Started with Vinyl Printing: What You Need
Utilizing our vinyl printer is a cost-effective way to produce high-quality prints. While the printer usage itself is free, we offer a range of premium materials for purchase to bring your projects to life. To optimize your workflow, we recommend preparing your designs before you arrive. The Roland VersaWorks software, which controls our printer/cutter, offers helpful tools for image manipulation, including cropping, scaling, flipping, and multiplying your prints. However, having your design finalized beforehand ensures a smoother and more efficient printing process.
For design creation, popular software options such as Photoshop and Illustrator provide advanced capabilities. Even Microsoft Office products can be effectively used to create designs, provided the file is saved in a compatible format such as PDF, JPG, or TIFF. For projects using adhesive and static cling materials, our printer can perform a perforation cut after printing. This feature allows for easier peeling and removal of your design, simplifying the application process.
To ensure a seamless experience, a staff member will assist you in preparing the machine for your use. We highly recommend making a reservation for a Digital Creation Station in advance to secure your printing time. Alternatively, arriving early allows our staff to review your files and provide assistance before your reservation begins, ensuring you’re ready to print and create amazing vinyl projects.
