Step 1: Remembering the Clear ITO

Draw a rectangle box roughly 1"x12" and write ITO in the box. You do not need to print or cut this part out, but it is only a reminder that when designing you will need to incorporate this CLEAR ITO area into your graphic.

An important part in designing your graphics is remembering where the CLEAR ITO is on the material and somehow incorporating it into your design. As you become more experienced, you will learn different ways to make connections to the CLEAR ITO and how to hide them into your design.

Step 2: Designing your Lamp

Design the lamp to the specific size that you want and call the color off as 'Jet Black GCX-012' and also select 'Primer'. Remember that the Gerber EDGE® printer has a maximum print width of 11.8 inches wide.

Place the design closely to the ITO box but not in it.

Step 3: Reflect

Reflect your design along the X axis. This is very important because the Conductive Ink is printed on the backside of the Digitel material so that when viewing the light from the frontside it will appear in the correct orientation.

Step 4: Output your Lamp

Select your design (except the ITO rectangle) and output it to the gspplot application by hitting SHIFT+F12.
