Illustrator :: Grainy Text In Large Vinyl Banner?
Jun 10, 2013
Created 4' x 8' artwork in illustrator for a vinyl banner (w/my company logo, tagline & images). Saved file as a PDF and sent to printing company. Just received banner and everything looks great, except our Logo/tagline... they look grainy as if either it was a JPG or I'm thinking the logo/tagline did not link up and the low quality place holder printed? Either way, I'm trying to find out if it is something the printing company messed up or if it's something I messed up—and if it was my fault, how to avoid this in the future.
Logo with tagline was created in illustrator.I did not "Place" the logo & images in the banner file. Rather I opened the files in illustartor and "Drag & Dropped" them in the banner file.Converted the text of Logo with tagline to "outlines".Then saved as PDF from illustartor.
The picture below is hard to see, but you can really see it best at the top of the "t" as if it was cut out with a polygonal lasso tool.

I created a design for my fraternity's new rush banner we need to have made. It's going to be 10ft x 8ft. I originally sent the design scalled down to 1000pixels x 800 pixels. The gentleman working with us replied that I must send him the image scaled down at 350 dpi or in real size at 72dpi. After changing the resolution to 350 pixels per inch (I'm assuming that means dpi), I tried scaling it up just to make sure everything looked correct. *The problem is though that when scaled up to 120in X 96in, the text as well as edges of the colors have a haze around them. Will this come out when printed?

I am trying to generate A4 tiles of a large banner (13m x 3m).
In the layout mode, I can't seem to get the image size to be set at 100%. If I manually set the image size to 100% and click on apply, this drops back to 38%. 38% is the highest it seems accept.
Is this a limitation with CorelDraw? Is there a way around this?

I have a client who asked me to create artwork for a banner she is printing for a trade show. The banner is 19.5 FEET long and almost 8 feet high. I have designed the banner as 6.5x2.6ft with the intent of then dividing it into 9 equal parts which I would blow up to 6.5x2.6 and send off to the printer. So far so good. The problem is that the segments are still so large that when I try to export them as PDFs, I am running out of memory. I tried doing them as jpegs, but when I change the resolution for export to 300dpi, nothing changes- the number of pixels x umber of pixels doesn't increase. My client needs this artwork off to her printer asap and I am at a complete loss.

I'm trying to make an image 879X593 px into a banner about 950 x 130 px. Is this possible to do this in Photoshop without causing the image to stretch or distort the items inside it? Are there other options even in Fireworks?

Every time I send text to my vinyl cutter from CD it puts vertical lines thru some of the letters and cut them out... letters such as : D, O, Q, G, S and others. I have tried different fonts but they are all the same.
It seems as though I have a button pressed or something turned on but cannot figure what is wrong.

I design custom banners which include both text and images and have no problem saving my files as PSDs or PDFs as long as I stay under 96" wide.
The minute I go wider, CS4 no longer gives me all my normal options, instead it gives me TIF, PSB, Photoshop RAW, or DICOM.
I usually try to give my banner production house files that are not undersized as I don't want to have all the edges aliased and jaggy.
Especially photographic portions of the banner. Is there a size limitation with CS4 Photoshop regarding saving in "normal" file formats?
Typically I give my production house 300dpi PDFs and it works out great.

I'm wondering if I get hold on of say an image of a car, could I have this converted to black and white and then delete parts of it so that it can be cut out on a vinyl cutter?
When converting it, I would like most of the image deleted but to keep the rough outlines and some shading etc so the image looks great and can be cut out on a cutter.

How could i be able to cut them when sent to the vinyl plotter.
This image shows the points that have the outline. I need to have these points moved to the outer edge.

The company I work for bought a new vinyl cutter out of the blue without consulting us (the IT Department), and now I'm fumbling about trying to figure out how to use it properly. The cutter requires the use of Adobe Illustrator, so I downloaded the trial before shelling out money from our budget. Now, we used to use this absolutely unimaginably broken piece of software called SignGo, which allowed the creation of 3d shadows rather easily, actually. All our buses have our company name with a 3d shadow behind them, and the owner does not want to change how this looks:

It's damn close to what I want, but as you can see, there are little extra cuts that the vinyl cutter will make, ruining the shadow. Is there any way I can either force AI to not draw those points which should be masked, or to edit the shadow manually?

got an out of the blue commission for a t-shirt .... now I'm getting a crash course in Illusrator. Been using it all of one day.
Here's the trouble though - when I use my brushes to make actual brush strokes, the resulting paths look "grainy" - like they aren't vectors/paths.
From what I understand, even drawing freehand with the brush should produce vectored lines - and I can play with points within those freehand brush strokes. But when I zoom out, the strokes I drew with the brush look almost "pixelly", while the ones done with the pen tool look nice and smooth (I should note this is a custom brush that I made, butt the other paths that I've applied the brush to look fine).
Is this normal? Should I resign myself to having to go back over everything using the pen tool (there's a lot of fine, irregular line work)? Or is there some setting of the brush or special key that I'm missing?I know it's small, but you might be able to see what I mean where the main vertical line meets up with the angled line. The near-vertical is brushed in, the angled one is a path with brush overlay....

We have come across a problem using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 on a MAC. We use Illustrator CS6 for putting together the graphics and use Photoshop CS6 for editing. When we save the image in full res and browse the image - the image looks grainy both on a Mac and a PC.

I am making a large back drop with a collage of photos of people. each image ranges from 8x12 to 16x 20....the photos I got from the professional photographers are showing up fine. My photos, taken with a 5D in Raw and exported at high res are showing up grainy...not sharp! I tried the raster settings like a friend suggested and set it to 150ppi or even 300ppi and no change..

how I go about taking this complex graphic full of various lines to one simplified and united line drawing? We want to take and cut a vinyl window application. The white in the logo is what we want the vinyl to be. The gray only indicates the window.

No matter what color text I use, the text cannot be seen clearly. Is there a way to put a banner/box over part of the grass then type the text inside?

why (sometimes) when I export text or graphics as .eps files to my cutter it cuts the same outline up to four to five times and ends up cutting right through the backing paper. I have been using postcut with various corel editions since 1997 with no problems until recently. It also cuts random lines through lines of text which is such an expensive pain in the ass.
I started to use the production manager in flexi sign to cut my designs and same thing happens, except for the random lines but it will make up to five cuts on some objects. All text and graphics are exported the same. Has something in corel newer versions changed in relation to this?

making an image that has only text and a transparent background. I want to use this as a banner/logo for my website and would like the "text" to sit on top of my site background.
I have tried several things that I know of in PS CC, but when I upload it to my website I get the text siting on a white background, thus my site background does not show through.

How I can export this banner within the borders? When i export it as a JPEG it exports the whole thing instead of just the borders. I was expecting it to be a bit like Flash, where you can draw outside the borders yet it will only show within the borders.

I've been using Illustrator for quite some time now. I recently got an assignment to design a printed banner (bunting), with the end product size of 3' x 8' (feet).
I was wondering about the document settings I should put in to illustrator before I start designing.
P.S, I'm using Illustrator CS6.

(CORELDRAW X6.3) Today I tried to export a .jpg file (text file) for a banner that was 6ft x 18ft. The export function wouldn't allow the 18ft, but changed it to like 9ft.
Tried in same in X3 and had the same result.
I could export the file as a .pdf and it worked just fine.
The question is, is there a maximum export size?
