I'm not great with Illustrator, I do most of my designing in Omega then save as. I'm re-designing a postcard for a customer. They sent me a jpg, about 2 megs, I think. When I set some type and add the jpg in Illustrator and save as PDF it turns into a huge file. I think about 40 megs, I can't...

:corndog:Is this Trajan Black or Bold or something in that font? Maybe a Goudy, I thought but don't think so. I don't know whats with the corn dog. It wouldn't let me post unless I put something. Thanks.

I hope it attached. I can't easily put it in a straight line so I'm hoping someone knows the name and where I can get it. I hope to talk them into something new.

I cant get What the font to work. A customer brought me this. I like it, too. Can anyone identify it? It is from a new architecture magazine. They use it on every article so it may be proprietary.

I have created a letterhead design for a customer. I created it in Omega, saved it as a PDF for him. He needs to open it in Word. I don't even know if that's Microsoft Word or Word perfect. Omega lets me save as WP2 and Illustrator has a lot of formats but the few I've tried don't open in...

I am mainly a sign maker along with some vinyl printing so I am no expert at printed material. I have a long time loyal customer who has me do paper stickers and other various items. I have 4Over.com do them and it has been profitable for me. They use a 4c process on 70 lb adhesive back paper...

I have been using Aquacote for a couple of years now on wood signs, metal, plastic, etc., but am having a little trouble lately using it on glass. It seems to scratch off easily but maybe after curing a couple of weeks it will be OK. I have not been able to give it that test yet. The same on...

I outsource my digital printing except what I can do on my Gerber Edge. I have an upcoming job I am considering having printed directly onto Dibond instead of on vinyl. Two 4x8 panels. I'm not sure what printer my supplier uses but they tell me it UV cures the ink. My concern is that from what...

Hi Folks. Been a while. There once was a company that made plaques that simulated cast bronze at maybe half the cost. They look very much like the real thing except if you tap on them you can tell they are plastic. I'm looking for something about 1/4" thick x 10 x 20". My customer doesn't want...

Hi, I posted this on 4Edge talk and it was suggested I post here also. I have a five year old Dell Optiplex 330 desktop computer running my Edge 1 and a Gerber 4B vinyl cutter. The computer has been having blue screen crashing problems lately and I'm tired of getting it fixed, so its time for...

I remember back in an earlier version of Illustrator, probably 8, I was able to draw a line, curved or straight that had cross lines just like a railroad is shown on a map. Does anyone know how to do this in CS3? Thanks

Hi, my name is Chuck Peterson. I am now semi-retired (until I think of a better term for it, I'm only 53) after 22 years making signs on my own. I started out working in the paint dept at Cal Neon in San Diego back in the 70's paintin Jack in the Box clown heads and stuff. Then I wandered lost...
