I need to prepare a file for a customer that is going to be sent to a
company called Magic Vinyl Printing, to be made into an eight foot by 10
foot wide trade show banner, printed on a Vutek 5300. I've never seen
one. Here are the file requirements from their website....
- - - - - -
File Dimensions: 1/12th of Print Size (1 Inch Equals 1 Foot)
File Resolution: 600 DPI (at 1/12th Scale)
Color Mode: CMYK
File Format: JPG (Max Quality) or PDF with (JPG Compression, Fonts Outlined)
If using Adobe Photoshop, saving in JPG Format at Maximum Quality is
strongly recommended. Do not send a .PSD (Photoshop) file. If using
Adobe Illustrator or other similar vector design software, outline all
fonts, make sure images are embedded not linked, and save the file as a
PDF using JPG Compression at Maximum Quality.

IOW... The file for this 8' x 10' banner, must be 8" x 10" at 600ppi.
According to the owner, the Vutek prints at 300dpi, or, by my
calculation, 50ppi of the actual file resolution. This may work for
billboards viewed fro a hundred feet away, but a trade show banner is
usually seen from about six to ten feet. When I asked him how the
banner would look, he said, "Sharp as a magazine ad". Well.... OK.
But when asked him what flavor of CMYK he wanted, he was stumped. In
his mind, CMYK is CMYK is CMYK. No one had ever asked that question
before. He just wants the file in CMYK. He said that when people have
sent RGB files, the color gets all messed up.
QUESTION: Is anyone familiar with the Vutek, and could recommend a CMYK
colorspace to separate to?
