xara in the sign business

Hello, I thought maybe some of you would like to see a vehicle we did yesterday. I used Xara to produce the bevels and shadows. What a neat program.

I'm impressed!

How do you get the image onto the vehicle - it looks too good for cut-vinyl, with all those graduated tints on the bevels and shadows behind the letters?

Thanks Graeme, I made the design in vector format, then brought that into Xara. I assigned the colors, then produced the bevels, and shadows. I then saved it as a tiff, brought it back into illustrator. Created the contour cut and ripped it to a Roland pc-600 thermal printer. The printer prints then cuts the vinyl. After that i applied a 1-shot UV clear.

Thanks - I think I understand now... you use a thermal printer to print onto the vinyl which is then cut to the desired shape.

Things have moved on since I last clapped eyes on a Spandex vinyl cutter with an LED display and font ROMS [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Nice work!
