Installing the SignLab 8 Demo Just the same, I'll let the Q/A people know to consider the icon and palette settings. For that palette issue, I trust that you DID NOT install the demo into your SignLab 7.1 install directory. The demo should be installed in it's own directory, so that its...

Fluid Mask for SignLab Yes, I've been through the vertustech videos myself. Worthwhile to watch and absorb, though the videos require a bit more polishing. By no means do I mean to disparage the Fluid Mask tools. For SignLab 8 users that are wondering about Fluid Mask included with SignLab...

Jonathan trying to contact you Dave, has Jonathan been able to contact you? He's been having trouble catching up with you. Yes, it is frustrating that the issue hasn't been resolved. As mentioned previously, some of the details hadn't been made clear to Tech Support, which I suspect has...

Publish to PDF 1. Go File menu >> Publish to PDF. 2. This will ensure that your spot colors are stored as "named colors." If you have concerns about specific color hues, then use LAB values (double-click the given color within Shop Palette, and set LAB). Regards, Rod at CADlink

OpenType Letterhead fonts in SignLab 7.1 If I understand you correctly, the following events occurred: 1. Back in perhaps late 2004, you upgraded to SignLab 7.0, which had support for TrueType fonts. 2. This was fine because, at the time, Letterhead fonts were in TrueType format. 3. A...

The quality of PDF objects will vary Um, no. A PDF file is technically just another file format. However, it is a convenient format for sending proofs because all a customer needs is Acrobat Reader to view. From a design standpoint, a PDF can contain color profiles, registration marks...

Challenges in announcing a release date Hi everyone, Let me make it clear that nobody at CADlink meant for any of you to feel pressured or confused about upgrading. Behind the scenes here, we have design work and Q/A taking place continously, and what we release largely depends upon what Q/A...

Print a PDF file To create a PDF, the de facto standard is Adobe Acrobat, which would add "Adobe PDF" as a print destination out of Windows applications. If you use a third-party PDF generation, then please be aware that there can be variations in how graphic objects are organized within...

Amazed by replicator's response Wow wee! Thought I'd grab my lunch and poke around signs101. I'm astonished by your response, Marc. If it weren't for the change in your avatar image, I would have thought your signs101 account had been hijacked. Unfortunately, it appears this business has ruined...

SignLab 8 and Visual Production Manager I saw this thread before and couldn't say anything because SignLab 8 wasn't officially released yet. SignLab 8 has been released with GIMP (i.e., spirit) image editing tools that are comparable to PhotoShop. Further, we've developed GIMP...
