Adobe CC Most "professionals" use Adobe CC If you expect to do "output bureau" work = working on files from professional designers - go with Adobe CC - that way you will be able to open everything. I would get the $50/month package...Acrobat Professional is your friend - Photoshop is great -...

Fountain Pen Collector, here. Looks like this company: http://www.gouletpens.com/

I followed up on one of these to see what it was. This is what I gleamed from the experience. YMMV: They will not pay a deposit for artwork and they seem to care little what something looks like. They will try to bill by credit card and they will try a few until one works. Then you will never...

Is there an environmental check button that recalibrates for temp and humidity like on the ecosol rolands?

ThreePutt is right. However - you can just cut and paste from Omega into Illustrator (remove the clipping path and make sure the cut is not bigger than 120" or so).

Check export setting and see if there is a "fit to page" or scaling factor in one of the dialog boxes. Also - make sure your artwork is zero origined if it is sign software.

I'd take it into photoshop and draw out the stuff you dont want - then do the outline inline approach. Illustrator also has a simplify path command if you have that.

Yup. CadTools.

I agree with the above: I'd just print CMYK charts around the color, laminate and hold them up til they match. My experience with color matching (not professional systems) is that they try to balance all colors and not match one. If you have multiple colors - do for each. That said - fading...

Probably just easier to re-download. That is the advantage of CC - right?

I have used a squeeze clamp and rubber band - or perhaps a leather strap with a weight - as a tensioner for the material holder on cutters. I think this could work. Or use the weight/felt thing on the back of the roland printer/cutters.

Daige Laminator I used was very dependent on too many variables. It takes experience and skill/talent to set it up. I learned that the feed roll loosens and needs tightening. The pressure knobs need to be even pressure, but there is really no way to count the turns reliably. Over tightening...
