If you're using pre-made vehicle templates, they're almost always in 1:20 scale, but the scale should be noted on them. I like to work in 1:10 scale on vehicles, so I scale the template by 200% before I start designing, then when it's time to print, we scale the print job to 1000%, which brings...

Pull the peach logo out of PEACHTREE and put the C back in. That would solve the biggest problem with the logo. I like the illustration with the grid, gradients and the tree, but it doesn't match the vibe of the logo at all. It looks like a company whose designer has gone rogue and kicked the...

Adobe has published many of their file formats, including Photoshop (PSD/PSB formats), Illustrator (AI format), InDesign (IDML format) and Acrobat (PDF format). Anyone who wants to develop an application that reads those formats can do so, without having to reverse-engineer it. They're not...

I get the argument about lack of control, but it's a minor one for me at least. However: 1. I've never been "forced" to update as long as I've been on Creative Cloud. Sometimes the options to re-install really old versions disappear, but that is not remotely equivalent to forcing an update. 2...

The subscription model is great for software like Creative Cloud. I'd rather pay a small fee every month and get frequent updates, than pay a huge cost up front every year or two for major updates. Some people might pay a little more overall and some might pay less, but they've changed the...

and the lowercase is Goudy Old Style, also with some poorly made edits.

What problems are you expecting with licensing? I would think in most cases, each thin client would be equivalent to a traditional workstation or user. Each thin client that has access to a given application needs their own license for it.

I'm sure building a big server is fun, but with 1gb fiber, would it make more sense to put this whole project in the cloud instead?

How much of this have you done? https://hplatexknowledgecenter.com/blog/simple-guide-color-accuracy-and-consistency-hp-latex-printers HP 560 has a built-in colour sensor, so you should be able to recalibrate your Arlon 4600 profile if you haven't already done so. Then, you could perhaps...

Hmm, I think me and Jean Shimp got duped into thinking Stacey was posting the latest revision earlier today. It was actually someone else, and I guess I didn't read the name. Curious to know how this turned out, too.

Asking someone to share a font with you is incredibly unethical. Here's where to buy it: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/zurich/ You don't have to invest in the whole family. You can just buy the one style (and obviously bill your client for it).

One of the reasons you're stuck on this is because the concept itself is confusing. Is it an R or a P? It looks like it could be either, or both. No one who sees this is going to know for sure what it says, because it could easily be interpreted as any of the following: P Landscaping R...

This might help.

I'd say either go all-in and make aircraft wraps a part of your business, or pass on the job. Doesn't sound worthwhile as a one-off job. First thing I'd do is talk to my insurance agent to see what they recommend (as others have suggested).

I think the technical term for it is a "shadow". It's the same effect as this, but viewed from the other side:

Yes, after flattening. Irrelevant to the topic here anyway. Sure, but the only real advantage of TIFF is it's easier to learn, because a flat raster file has little flexibility. If you learn to use PDF and TIFF to their full potential, you will rarely if ever have a reason to use TIFF. I get...

Yes, of course it does – all RIPs do. But giving the RIP a better input file (PDF) is going to give you better print results than a worse input file (TIFF). I mean, you could increase the resolution on your TIFF file to match the quality setting on your RIP, which is usually 600–2400dpi, but...

Correct, but that's one of the many reasons why TIFF is the second best solution. What if there are vector layers in the Photoshop file? Spot colours? Cutting lines? Text? Most Photoshop files that a sign printer gets from a client are going to have at least one of those things in it, and a flat...

That's the second best solution.

I would never trust a RIP to reliably interpret PSD files correctly, especially with the rate of updates to Photoshop and other Adobe apps lately. There is only one standardized format in the printing world, and that's PDF. If you're not using PDF for 100% of your RIP jobs, you should have a...
