Fonts should be kept in a network folder here. If a coworker is missing the font, FontManager will offer to install it. Provided you have set up FontManager properly.

Yes, that's what I thought. Have one as is and a duplicate with fonts converted. Yes, notes too. Print profile used, specific material and/or substrate, matte or luster laminate etc.

What the what!? Why would you do that? 10years later when they want the same design "just change the text" Uh...I don't remember what the font was.

I know just what you're thinking and I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Often times i see posts with 50 views but no replies. I open the post and it's gibberish. Either too vague or using words no one understands. I'm not speaking of any language barrier either. "How do I make this?" -no example given, nothing! "Need help with this" -file won't open, no file...

Find a new vender to print for you. They obviously haven't a clue! No drop shadow effects? Just 2 lines of text? How about a snip of the design? Use the free microsoft snipping tool, much better than screen shot. Just copy and paste here.

Make sure the pinch rollers are all set either the same pressure or the outermost set to high and the inner 2 set to low.

Are you designing at full scale? If so, 300dpi is overkill. All your images should remain at whatever dpi they "stretch" out to be i.e. you may start with an image at 300dpi but when you physically change the dimensions of that image it will become something around 32dpi. Leave it alone. When...

I say you win! Sonoco vector logo

No need for duplicates(two layers). If you are working from a vector vehicle template just powerclip your design into the vehicle outline. Once it's finalized you can then create your panels. Also look at the resolution of any raster images. SHouldn't be anything over 72dpi. Crop any down close...

I feel much the same way. Don't sweat it, we thank you for your service just the same. p.s. Sometimes I proudly salute when attending sporting events that play the National Anthem. A privilege given to veterans by George W. Bush.
