Frequently Asked Questions

Is the gang sheet builder free to use?
Yes, the gang sheet builder is 100% free to use to create and download your own gang sheets.
What is the largest gang sheet size that can be created?
The largest gang sheet size that can be created is 59" x 100" at 300 DPI.
What type of images can be uploaded and added to the gang sheet?
At this time we support uploading .psd, .png, and .jpg file formats that are 8-Bit images with a maximum file size of 100MB. For Photoshop files, RGB and CMYK color modes are supported and all layers must be rasterized. Vector artwork, smart objects, and layer styles are not currently supported.
Can spot channels be added to the gang sheet for printing white ink and varnish / gloss?
Yes, spot channels are supported when CMYK TIFF is selected as the output image format. When this option is turned on, you can expand or contract the area that the spot channel will cover up to 10 pixels. Only pixels with an alpha or transparecny greater than 50% will be included in the spot channel.
Can registration marks be added to the gang sheets for print and cut operations?
Yes, registration marks can be added to the top and bottom of each gang sheet. You can choose 1 of the following 2 options for placement: Top/Left, Bottom/Right or Top/Right, Bottom/Left. Registration marks are roughly 1/4" tall and are factored in to the placement and positioning of images on the gang sheet.
For cut operations, while we don't currently have support for downloading a true cut file with vector cut lines, we do offer the ability to download a black silhouette version of the image. This image can easily be loaded into LightBurn, Adobe Illustrator, or other software to vectorize the image. If you have LightBurn, we recommend using it as it makes creating your cut file really easy.
LightBurn
  1. Import (Ctrl+I) the downloaded silhouette image and rotate, position the image as needed.
  2. Under the 'Tools' menu item, select 'Trace Image' (Alt+T) then click 'OK'.
  3. Delete the original silhouette image.
  4. Ungroup the traced image by clicking 'Ungroup' (Ctrl+U) under the 'Arrange' menu item. This will allow the registration marks to selected for cut/print operations.
  5. Optional Step: Offset the cut lines by clicking 'Offset Shapes' (Alt+O) under the 'Tools' menu item to add padding between the print and where the cut is made.
  6. Continue with LightBurn's Print & Cut features underneath the 'Laser Tools' menu item. We suggest to always select 'Align Outputs to Target' for best results.
Can multiple images be added to the gang sheets?
Yes, multiple images can be added to each gang sheet. The following configurations are supported.
Image Quantity (Default Mode)
  • 1 or more images with multiple size variations are allowed.
  • Multiple gang sheets will be created based off the quantity of each image / size variation.
Fill Sheet
  • Only 1 image with a single size variation is allowed.
  • 1 gang sheet will be created and filled with as many copies of the image as can be fit onto the sheet.
