  1. photoshop newbie question regarding image sizing and pixelation

    If you brought the image into photoshop to only scale, not to edit the image in any other way then you should have just skipped photoshop and scaled the image in illustrator as you didn't change anything by re-sampling the image in photoshop. So your 5632 x 3756px or 18.8" x 12.5" (300ppi)...
  2. What Roland would buy if you where opening a new shop.

    Have you looked at Rolands new VG series? It has a new ink called TrueVIS. 1 hour dry time, the stuff is basically scratch proof and the colours are super vibrant. I printed an orange the other day and I couldn't believe how bright it was and orange has always been a difficult colour to hit for...
  3. Help with Font

    Man, that one bugs me because I know that I have used it in the past. I found that it's very close to Oldskool Script and even Samui Script.

  6. Employee Situation

    For those saying it's a conflict of interest...It's only a conflict of interest if they solicited the client while they were on the clock with you. OR you're greedy and feel like you should be getting a piece of the pie. If it's all after hours and not affecting their work than there shouldn't...
  7. Help me with this design on the inside of this font

    No one? Okay guess I'll explain. Kind of difficult to explain without actually doing it, but here it goes. 1. Convert font to outlines 2. Select the text and then select "object > path > Offset path" and offset with a minus value to get the small inset border. Make this object a different...
  8. Media Presets in VersaWorks

    There are differences between profiles forsure. Roland sets them up to work with each particular media because they react differently to heat (stretching differently), color settings, vacuum settings etc. Lots of people seem to run with only a few profiles, we are forced too right now with the...
  9. Air Tubes HP L25500

    Air tubes? You mean the ink supply tubes? If those have a hole you'd think you could just fix the tube, but nope, you have to order the entire ink tube assembly which isn't cheap. We had one of the tiny tubes on the head get a slight puncture and we thought we could just have the little tube...
  10. question about LARGE files in Illy

    Hey Andy, Can you elaborate on this step for me? What are we overshooting by two here? and what is schmutz? haha This step a photoshop step I take it? I've never heard of adding noise to break-up upsampling artifacts.
  11. Any use of "strokes" or outlines should be for print only.

    Nope, not disappointed very often at all. Just lucky maybe? or deal with better designers?...not sure..
  12. Any use of "strokes" or outlines should be for print only.

    I disagree, I'm a designer and I design with final output in mind. If I am designing something that is not being printed at my shop I will call up the company I'm outsourcing too to find out exactly what they require in the output file and I set up a final version to their specs. I was taught to...

  17. Buying new Printer..WHICH ONE?!!

    Yup can run the roland over night no problems. Even has an iphone & android app. Outgasing is about an hour with the new inks on the VG series. The hp's have many plastic innerds that break constantly with use it's a known problem. I believe inks waste is disposed of for free at the wasste...
  18. Buying new Printer..WHICH ONE?!!

    I'm a bit late to the party, but having run a variety of printers over the years. From multiple rolands. (SP, VP, VSI & VG) HP Latex L25500 & Mimaki printers. I would hands down recommend roland and there are many reasons, but my main reason is HP latex machines are made of plastic which breaks...
