Brief notes for Engrave Line Art
This brief leaf is the practical sequence for putting Engrave Line Art on the desk without drama. Collect the reference. Name the finish. Confirm the format. Then take three honest photos before the first redraw pass. Woodstock crews treat that intake as non-negotiable after a cold Highveld morning call from Gauteng.
Match format and node band to the ticket you actually run. A vinyl cut with open nodes is scrap waiting. Label the weed gaps. Keep the colour card honest. If the script overlapped overnight on a merch set, fix it before you open deliver.
Photograph the first closed path with the print face in frame. File it on the shared drive or pin a print above the desk. When the next shift asks what changed, you have evidence instead of a shrug. We would rather receive a half-complete brief list than a novel in the email.
Intake and care on the floor
Intake follows the finish, not the ego. Embroidery wants tighter control than a web icon. Carton edges want a soft type. Complex rebuilds want independent checks so layer one does not invent while layer two stays soft.
- Reference photographed before every redraw
- Warm proof before client stock
- Overlaps cleaned when script looks doubled
- Delivery named with finish and city
Pair this leaf with the matching ticket path and a path note. Email vector@vectorisation.co.za if your die line or hoop size sits outside the usual workshop band.
When to stop and change path
Stop if the path marks under a finger on vinyl weed, if the stitch density argues with the fill, or if the archive rescue invents dots the scan never held. Changing path mid-pack is cheaper than a full remake. Vectorisation would rather you open a second ticket path than force one offer through every stock in the bay.
Showroom desks at Clearwater, Cresta, Pavilion, Tyger Valley, Baywest, Mimosa, and Riverside can continue a brief conversation without restarting the story, if your handoff note names the offer and the ticket already tried.
