A banner wider than the roll
A banner on a stock with no liner is one print at its size. Wider than the roll, it is split into equal panels with bleed and overlap.
A stock with no liner offers Banner and Decal.
Start a banner
On Home, press By material and choose a stock with no liner. The third question, What are you making, offers Banner. A banner is one print at its size, with nothing cut. See Start a sticker sheet.
The page is the print. The picture opens at the size your shop usually uses for that stock, or at what the file holds at the stock's quality bar. Type a width on the Design tab and the page moves with it. Each copy is a set of pages of its own.
What a banner does not have
- No cut line, and no registration marks. The Cut tab and the Job tab say so in words, rather than showing boxes that change nothing.
- No second design. A second design on a banner is a stop.
- No questions from the preflight about a cut line, a gap or a grip margin.
When it is wider than the roll
A banner too big for the roll either way up is printed in panels: equal panels, as few as will do. Each has the stock's bleed, and they share an overlap at every seam. The overlap is the stock's until the Job tab sets another for this job.
The Job tab says how many panels there are and how big. The preflight and the hand-over use that same plan, and the hand-over lists every panel of every copy in the order the file holds them. Each copy is written into the file, because a hot folder carries no copy count.
Decal
A Decal is the same one print on any roll that is not a board, cut round its edge along a trim line of its own. It carries no registration marks of Studio's.
