Monochromagic- this should be a transparent background and the design/image should be in all black. It will be printed in clear glossy ink and looks best on a matte acrylic sheet.

File Uploads should be based on an Art board the size of the sheet. For 12" X 18" Sheets use a 19.2" X 12" Art board, 300 DPI and JPEG (not JPG), EPS, or PDF format.

Pricing is based on production printing, which means there is up to a 1" margin on either side of the sheet that may have overprint or no print. If you are attempting print and cut files and need more exact specifications please reach out for a quote. 

It's imperative to note that using file changing software can alter the image quality. While we do our best to verify any issues before printing, once printed we are not responsible for poor quality or alignment issues due to artwork error. Our sheets are rectangle with 90 degree corners. For more custom cut requests please reach out to us. 

Please Note: Adding Custom Items including our prints to your order could (but does not always) add 2-7 business days of processing time to your order.

GLOWFORGE CUT SETTINGS

All of our Pattern Sheets can be cut on PG Medium, selecting either Clear Acrylic, Black Acrylic, or White Acrylic to match the base you are cutting. Engrave settings we recommend are 1000 speed and 60 power. 

CUTTING TIPS & TRICKS

*Clear Pattern Acrylic should always be cut with the pattern side up, as should single sided prints! For Double sided acrylic sheets we like to raise the pattern off our honeycomb tray, but we encourage you to try multiple sample pieces to find the settings that work best for your machine. You may also try a light adhesive masking.

*We ALWAYS recommend running a test cut! Our machines are all different by design and are all in different conditions.

*Cleaning Products DO NOT mix well with UV printed products. If you need to wipe your printed patterns down, you can use a damp cloth. 

Please note that due to the cutting process, sheet actual measurements may vary up to 1/4" depending on the type of acrylic and blades used to cut down the sheets.
