Plotter With Image (Hopefully)

Brian,
I will go through the process you described. I was thinking however that there has to be a way to accomblish a good border using the plotter. So here is what I did. It may be hard to see as I used white vinyl on white illustration board with tan tape.

1. I created the vector with the border but saved it out as (2) individual files. One was the full outside and the other was the interior.
2. I Placed the outside stencil
3. I then laid down tape in upper left and lower right corners for registration and shot the purple.
4. I pulled up the first vinyl and placed the interior- making sure to register in th corners.
5. Shot second color.

Some things to keep in mind:
A. The willie G skull pictured is about 31/2" across. Special care may need to be used when using smaller sized objects.
B. The wider the border the more will be more forgiving for slight registration errors.
C. This was of course on flat board but I am sure the process will be the same on a curved fender, tank or panel.
