AutoPlus Peel-off #1 data layout - click on image for a large view The gray areas are the spaces occupied by the vehicle data. You should allow a minimum of 3 to 4 mm of space around the data fields to permit printer positioning. Printer indexing errors are usually on the order of + - 1 mm. Most printers will produce similar results but it is always a good idea to test your layout on your own printer using the AutoPlus Express software. This will confirm the placement of your artwork. Send us your artwork as a 300 dpi or 600 dpi 8.5x11 inch image. While we can accept a variety of file formats, we recommend that you provide your file as a standard RGB color .jpg file with a low compression factor. This will avoid format and version conflicts in our production department. |

AutoPlus Peel-off #2 data layout - click on image for a large view We produce these new FULL-color forms using a commercial electronic imager (similar to a color laser printer). This new printer uses resin-based inks. These new forms are great for use with ink jet printers (like the excellent Epson C88), solid ink color printers, dot-matrix printers and other low temperature printers. Conventional laser printers can potentially cause problems since their high-temperature fusers may partially melt the resin inks on these forms. While some customers have used laser printers with these new forms, it is NOT recommended. You should determine the suitability of your laser printer before using these new resin-ink forms. Generally, our offset forms should be used with laser printers. |

Pricing: AutoPlus Full-Color Electronically Imaged Forms are the same price as our standard peel-off forms. However, electronic inks or toners are a very costly high-tech component of electronic imaging so a coverage surcharge may be applied for coverages above 20%. You can estimate coverage by looking at the area with image compared to the area with no image. The above Checkered Flag sample has a 17% coverage factor. The Roberts Chevrolet sample has a 24% coverage factor and has a 5 cents surcharge. The coverage surcharge can be minimized by avoiding the use of large solid color areas and large dark images. Text and graphics on a white background will work best. In an extreme case the coverage surcharge may add an additional 40 cents to the cost of a form. |
