What is Vutek?
The Vutek is a large-format printer designed to output on a wide variety of media including vinyl banners, fabric banners and cloth banners up to 16' in width (length is nearly unlimited). The Vutek prints up to 360 dpi. With up to six color capability, it provides the most advanced technology for vehicle wraps / fleet graphics, fabric banners, vinyl signs, custom wallpaper and trade show graphics.

All printed images are photorealistic and vector graphics (i.e. text) are sharp at all viewing distances.

Outdoor-formulated inks are suitable for durability up to three years.

Vutek Setup
VECTOR-BASED SOFTWARE
The document needs to be in proportion to the final image size. When working in scale, use even increments of final size (e.g. 10%, 25%, etc.).

For areas consisting of solid black, it is suggested to create a "superblack" consisting of 65% cyan, 65% magenta, 65% yellow and 100% black.

All fonts used in your file(s) should be included on your disc. (This includes fonts placed in .eps files.) Programs that use postscript fonts (Adobe) require both a screen and printer version of the font. Alternately, fonts can be converted to outlines.

Imported raster images can be placed as CMYK or RGB, .eps or .tif file format. See RASTER info below for resolution guidelines.

Make sure to supply a printout of your document (preferably color, but even a fax copy will help!).

For multi-panel jobs please provide a layout for tile breaks.

RASTER-BASED SOFTWARE
The document should be set up at 100% of the desired output size (or at least proportional to the final image size). For best results, the resolution of images at final size should be between 50 and 100 dpi.

Files can be CMYK or RGB, .eps or .tif format, with no compression used and no additional layers, channels, or paths. If files are CMYK, we prefer to do the conversion ourselves. NOTE: If using Photoshop 5.0, DO NOT embed any color profiles in the image.

 vector vs. raster

Vector-based software interprets elements (text, lines, boxes, etc.) as mathematically defined objects which can be scaled independently of resolution. Most of these packages are for "drawing" or page layout. Vector software may also contain raster images (see below).

Vector-based programs supported:
  • Illustrator
  • QuarkXpress
  • Freehand
Raster-based software interprets the page as a collection of squares (pixels). Individual or groups of pixels can be manipulated, but the entire images is considered "one." Raster software is resolution dependent, meaning the resolution of the output device determines how the file should be set up.

Raster-based programs supported:
  • Photoshop
