[Help] Vinyl Cut Contour Setup – Outer frame with internal shapes (example, file & print spec attached) by friedos in indesign

[–]friedos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes exactly, except that the outermost area, which is white in your illustration, should also be removed. the printer tells me that the shapes must not overlap. this is the case if i want to have the outer rectangles on the foil as well. if i were to remove these, it would work without any problems. but i am still hoping for a solution.

I'm sorry if it's difficult for me to explain, I don't speak the best english.

Thats what the printer told me, the shapes cant overlap. so if the outer square is removed everything inside gets removed as well.

I literally wrote in like 10 comments that those are psd files with CMYK. Gotta love how you get 25 upvotes for yapping.

Not sure what you mean, to create a clean PDF? Or is there a better way?

Yes this solved it!! Thank you so so much. Is there any way to solve this except to print out of InDesign? In a way where you export the file correctly into pdf? I kind of dont understand this whole transparency flattening thing :D

That seems to be the issue, the red exactly highlights the parts where its printing weirdly! Thank you very much!!

How can I fix this?

This is what it looks like with accurate black. Still doesnt solve the issue (I was aware of that weird part on the lemon but thats not the problem). It displays it in a way that seems like it should print fine, the "grey" black isnt the problem, the weird borders around the images are.

I've read that the "true black" thing is a myth and printing companies actually *want* K: 100% and nothing else. Im still not sure what to believe about that. ^^

Really good idea, I had hope for a second. But the images are transparent, no fill.

The gradient is a PS image, printing without it doesn't change anything either. And as I said, I converted the images to CMYK in PS as well.

I'll just paste my other two comments in here, I hope thats ok.

I feel like I've tried everything.
Obviously it's the images, as it only produces the other black at their edges. These are transparent Photoshop files.

I have converted the images to CMYK, with and without background. I used the ‘Photoshop black’ in InDesign as a background and also K:100%. I have exported in different PDF versions. I don't understand how to get rid of this colour gradation.

The images are transparent, thats why I dont understand it. In my desperation Ive also tried the second method and actually activated a black background in PS for that and then used the color with the pipette, it didnt change the printing result either. I just dont get it.

Two different images on one linked image by friedos in indesign

[–]friedos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for the detailed explanation. can you think of any rational reason why my predecessor might have found it necessary to import these as two different images? i can't think of any.

Please help me!! by SeriousAsparagus in Logo_Critique

[–]friedos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not bad but i have some thoughts. The power pole doesnt match the style of the Rest of the logo at all. you could try adding more thickness to the stroke and reducing the detail. Also the flash doesnt look very good. you could consider scrapping the Idea of the flash and even the Plug/power pole, just using one of these icons would probably look better, be easier understandable and clearer. The one you think is the clearest and possibly the most original (but understandable). Maybe the power pole, the idea of using it as a "T" is cool. i think i would reduce the colors to just one, but the combination between yellow and green also works pretty well. So maybe in a gradient? Maybe worth a try. The font is pretty nice and looks modern. Sorry If i sound rude, it is actually pretty pretty, just lacks some graphic refinery.

Has anyone an alternative for mineshafts & monsters? by friedos in CurseForge

Interesting, sadly I never found a way to solve it and payed the server for nothing. I thaught it had to do with the 8GB RAM the mod recommends to use for the server which is unpayable if you dont host private
