Print Lab - Upgrade 3

Print Lab - Upgrade 3
It is incredible how time goes by, right? We took a look at the calendar and suddenly realized that the SpotModel Print Lab just turned one year old a few weeks ago. One whole year!!! At the beginning we were "on all fours", with stumbles and all kinds of problems, but little by little we have learned to walk and now all the technology is more "lubricated" and the internal process is more refined and adjusted, thanks to your many comments and suggestions. Months ago we made a breakthrough by announcing the Print Lab Marketplace that allows you to publish your own designs and even make a little money with them (or a lot!). And what comes next ...?

Well, we already stand perfectly on our feet and feel stability, so here we go with one more step in the growth of the Print Lab: now you have available for downloading the 3.0 version of the decal design templates. What does this new update mean? The most important changes that you will notice are that the design area has been increased and that we have added some "print test rectangles" with the pure colors that will allow us to quickly check that the printed tones are correct and totally pure. You can now download the updated templates and start using them with your new designs :)

What will come when we feel strong enough to start running? We have any ideas but of course suggestions are accepted ;D
