Hi peeps,

Hope you like the template i did.

If possible could anyone tell me what format it has to be in to print it. Because at the moment its not transparent or anything. So if anyone could tell me what format it has to be in etc for me to print that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

*.png files maintain the transparency of the background if you are using photoshop
with layers.

how would you print them? vinyl cut?

peace.

To be honest dude i dont have a clue how to get it onto the mpc. Thats why ive been asking for help but no one seems to know hence no replies.

Maybe photo transfer the whole thing onto the mpc faceplate once painted then cut out the squares where the pads and buttons go with a stanley knife? I dont know?

NEED HELP!!!

Thanks.

i can think of these 3 ways:

1. make a silk print(s)

2. use rub on lettering - apply each single letter individually????

3. print a vinyl cut sticker(s) -

I'm going to do the 3rd. (when i get around to it :) ).

eg. once the photoshop file is finished. do test prints on paper or transparencies and lay over MPC to check that it all lines up. then take to a sign maker/printer.


i believe this is an example of the rub on lettering:

Vector format is best, PDF, EPS. Some printers may request AI. If you have to do bitmap go with something uncompressed like a high res TIFF, RAW or TARGA.
PNG is for web, probably won't look good printed. Most printers can take PDFs. PDF and AI will maintain transparency. I'm replying to a 6 year old post, I know.
