Perfect example of what not to do

What I meant by the comment was...First off, how do they come up with a cmyk value for a pantone colour? If it were some form of automated process then I could understand the huge color shifts from color to color, but if it is done visually by testing different cmyk percentages, then I say the...

I have the bridge chart and I honestly question some of the color differences between the real pantone color and the cmyk version. Most are so out of whack I really don't understand how they formulate the cmyk versions and call it a match.

But I did match the pantone!!! I'm not going to reprint anything if it was done right!!! Not my fault that they use a pdf file and a computer screen to verify colours. My client won't drop me for this. I have proved to them that the colour is correct...it is their client ( probably some 25...

I always felt that acrobat reader would show me what the real file should like like and now my world has collapsed lol. OK so in my main computer that I use for cutting vinyl and setting files up it looks correct ( I think, based on previous jobs for the same client) but the print computer...

As the title says... so how do I determine which version is correct? It was an ai file with ridiculous masking and one item seems to have flipped to a different position. One comp is win 7 the other win 10. Also what is a cheap program to convert pdf files into high res bitmaps?

Just curious, once you have chosen the best color match, can you then double click the colour and see the break down of cmyk or once you do that it changes again. In my old photo print I would sometimes just choose a colour off the color templates and then make changes to it. When the...

Do you mean the eps file you create for the mapping has to have the identical name? and if so I assume that also means that once you make the eps file and use it, you can't simply delete the eps later?

Thanks for posting this video. I am fairly new to the subscription Flexi and appreciate the info. I am excited to try this out!! Thanks

Thanks for the info. It is my main computer for design and cutting vinyl plus email and browsing, so maybe I need to upgrade but fearful of how Signlab will deal with it...running version 8

Get the message this morning and Microsoft suggests buying a new computer over installing 10 over 7. I like 7 and it seems very stable...Have 10 in a laptop and have never really liked it Your thoughts?

Thanks Mike....

Yes on the subscription version there is this window that uses the entire right side of the screen and I can't find anywhere to minimize it...see attached

I find that window takes up to much space on the screen but can't seem to find a way to close it. Can it be closed or minimized out of the way?

This issue seems to be getting more difficult as cargo vehicles have some pretty funky lines on them now. The worse part about it is that you fiddle around on one side taping and re-taping and standing back to get a good view and then you make the decision to go with what you have....Then you...

I have been doing work for this particular customer for over 10 years... I do plenty of custom banner stands as well. Never issues...but this is a different dept. The only way I am reprinting this job is if they actually tell me what colour they actually want I know that my client realizes we...

I would say you are generally correct except in this case it is a big bank and the colour is the colour...a little due diligence on their end and they would realize that what they got was correct, even according to their own branding specs...but I am a supplier to a supplier and can't get my...

The colour I printed is actually the pantone colour...The client is most likely using the screen colour as what they think a 289 looks like...It does not. I mean even a google search of that credit card matched the darker blue we printed.

One of my largest customers who I do work for on a regular basis for their clients sent me an order for 15 retractable banner stands along with a pdf file of the artwork. I set the file up and made a proof to be sent back and it was approved. After the order was sent out I received a call from...
