Prepare the Illustrator file for cutting plotter

Hey!  I have a file that is quite complicated in illustrator that I want out of a cutting plotter.

What would be the best way to merge together as vectors of colors?  The colors overlap on some points.  I've been using the pathfinder for different sections, but it is still holding and sometimes leaving small openings.  Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Oh, I followed this tutorial if this gives you an idea of my image: Illustrator http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/Tutorials/Create-a-Bright-Vector-Snowboard-Design-in-i .

Thank you in advance!

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

What would be the best way to merge together as vectors of colors?

The Pathfinder > fusion key allows to perforate the fillings of the overlap of different colors and unite the same color fills all in one shot. Select all artwork, apply GPO > OutlineStrokes (so that the lines become fillings). Then apply the Pathfinder merge.

However, the Pathfinder merge will result in paths that simply kill between adjacent colors. According to the design, you may want a small amount of overlap in order to facilitate registration when you assemble the separate records. (Same principle as build traps in print.) So after using Merge, you may need to use Select > same color and offset to add a bit of overlap of some objects.

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

The export of each color as his own separation, then it can be cut with the cutting plotter.

Most vinyl cutting software allows you to send colors to the plotter / cutter individually. (No need to color seps).

  • How to prepare an Illustrator file for printing white text on a black t-shirt?

    There is no graphics, just text. The finished product is going to be a white text on a red t-shirt.

    What are the steps of preparation of an Illustrator file for this purpose, and what should I do before sending it to the printer off?

    Thank you.

    I call or send your printer and him asking the same question. There are several ways to indicate a white ink, it would be good to know their preference. My guess is that they will ask you to provide a PDF file with black text and indicate somewhere what to print white ink. They might prefer a .eps file. An illustration of a white T-shirt red type in the desired location and size would also help ensure that you get what you want.

  • Help with the creation of color sets in the Illustrator file

    I'm repeating a specific background image on every page of a calendar and want to change its colors on each page. There are 2 shades in the image using a total of four different colors. I am not at all skilled in the theory of color and I was wondering if someone can please tell me if there is an easy way to come with harmonious color combinations that I can apply to the original Illustrator file? My solution shortcut would be to convert color to grayscale and apply a color overlay, but the image will seem just flat when I do this. I prefer to set the gradients individually but do not know how to find the compatible colours.

    Here's a preview of the image, followed by a DropBox link to the Illustrator file.

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/background1.AI

    Thank you!

    Couple for you ideas:

    First of all, try to use the color wheel on color.adobe.com.  Select the middle color and add your hex code of the color.  The app will automatically show you similar colors.  See an example of here. You can also experiment with other rules of color in the color rule menu (just click on one of them).

    Second, take a look at themes created by others.  If you are generally looking for colors that work well with the yellow, you can browse the most popular themes and identify some that use yellow.

    I hope this helps.

  • Overview of the Illustrator files display hidden layers (Mac)

    This is more of a problem, a doubt. Well, I was working on an illustration, just try things here and there, and I have so many different layers of elements, some of them I want to see the and some of them not (I don't want to remove them, cause, they can be useful later). At some point, I realized that when I saved the file and went to see the (SPACEBAR) Preview in his file, the image had hidden and shown items.

    So here's my question: is this normal? is there a way to show the preview with only the elements listed? Of course, when I export the .png file, for example, I get the image should I get (without the hidden stuff).

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why, but I have a solution: in your "layers" window, do not use the black eyes in the front of your layers to hide! Open each layer you want to hide (using the grey triangle) and hide the objects inside the layer. Then save: and you will see that the preview will be the right one...

  • How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

    How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

    How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

    Where can I find a linke for the the help file for process Explorer 14.01?  Thank you.

    If you have problems to access using Process Explorer, it's probably because you do not it unlock after the download.

    The best way to do this is to go to the folder where the zip file downloaded, right click the zip file and select Properties. Then click on the button unlock and apply them. Go to the excerpt from Process Explorer.

    Concerning

    Found a workaround.  The problem is that, before the 7695070 patch is applied, the installation program backup directory/apps/fs2/FMW_Home/webtier/jdk in /apps/fs2/FMW_Home/webtier/jdk_backup_existing_version, but then it clears. / jdk - the patch fails because it can't find it.  I had to rename the directory of the jdk for jdk2, and as soon as it gets deleted quickly and rename jdk2 jdk.  Then he applies the patches without problem.  A symbolic link would do the same thing.

  • When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, the problem occurs

    When the path is missing from the Illustrator file, it keeps duplicating well the path is absent from and cannot do anything else in the file

    Sorry about that - it happens to PSD files too. The solution is either to the back file where she there or, if you do not have the file, the set (of the same type) _any_ file in the old location renamed the old file name just if she continues to complain.

    Or, if you don't need the project, just leave Ch and delete project - it will create a new on the next launch.

    If you know in advance that you will be willing to delete the files to work on disk that are still referenced, you can avoid this problem by selecting the puppet in the project Panel, and unchecking the option "Auto-sync with the work" in the properties panel. Manual synchronization is then possible to check and uncheck this option.

    We have already fixed this bug here at the factory in Seattle, so it won't be a problem in Preview 2 and later versions.
