  • creating overlap/bleed before production manager

    Posted by paul main on 13 May 2011 at 12:58

    Hello all, first post here, usually there’s an answer to the probs Ive had just by looking at previous posts…not this time tho!! Im preparing graphics to be cut on a friends larger plotter as mine is only 610mm. I still need to split the images up and although slicing them is easy enough, I cant seem to find an option to add a bleed/ overlap once they are separated..Is this achievable within the software or is that only applicable once the image is in production manager. Quick feedback would be appreciated as Ive got 45m of material to get cut!!

    with thanks and hope, Paul

    if you are talking cut vinyl you can panel in PM, it allows you to set number of tiles plus overlap. Also by clicking on each panel created you can turn it on & off so you can cut 1 or 2 panels at a time. Has well as setting the panels dimensions by figures i’m sure you can drag the panel edge.

    hope this helps

    thanks kev,
    I wasnt actually cutting them in P.M. as they are too wide for my plotter (10 x 3 sq m), was just splitting them up in flexi to prep for someone else to cut, either way I managed to sort it. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
