You've set it up as a single 150' cutting job, or have you printed crop marks every so often so you can do it in batches?

You're confusing markup and margin. Markup is the same as an "increase", but markup is the term normally used. Using the term "increase" adds possible ambiguity, which is not a good thing when we're discussing numbers and math. 20% markup = 16.7% margin 50% markup = 33.3% margin 100% markup =...

PDF is universal. What's it's not universal for is when people try to use it for purposes it wasn't designed for. I've said this dozens of times, but PDF is for artwork that is finished. It was never meant to be opened in Corel/Illustrator and pulled apart for editing, yet people endlessly...

Why are you using 12 year old software if you want to open external files from clients? Update to the latest Corel and you'll have less problems. You're behind by 7 major Corel releases. I know there are a TON of people here who like to use their old software, but there's no argument here. You...

The colour is changing because the photo is most likely RGB and you said you're converting to CMYK when you use the eye dropper to grab the colour. If you want the colour to match, you need to use the colour picker (eye dropper) in the same colour mode as the photo (RGB), and using the same ICC...

Even if I was promised the CNC outlines from the original sign company I would be hesitant to try replacing just the face of a channel letter. Has anyone ever successfully done this?

If you don't want your margins to end up looking uneven, a good rule of thumb would actually be to set your safety to double the bleed or more.

Would you mind elaborating? We rely on much of the information in that PDF to run our printer here.

Find My Font mobile app gets it pretty easily:

Press Shift+O to switch to the Artboard Tool, then click and drag to draw artboards wherever you want them. Each artboard becomes a separate page when you export to PDF. If you're planning to load a multi-page PDF into Versaworks and then arrange them to print together, you might find that you...

The easiest way to break apart the clipped shapes would be to release the mask, then separate your trapezoids and mask each of them individually onto a copy of the artwork.

In your Colour Management settings, uncheck "Use embedded ICC profile" if you want to ignore the embedded ICC profiles in your production artwork files. Source: http://support.rolanddga.com/Docs/Documents/departments/Technical Services/Manuals and...

Arcanzas is a direct rip-off of Vidaloka, a free Google font. The guy literally renamed the font and sold it on Creative Market and Graphic River for a while before he was banned, and did the same for a number of other fonts. (source) You could probably install Vidaloka and re-link all the...

Yeah, I made sure I had no pending Windows updates, and the bug was pretty strange. If I tried the Open With > Always use this app function, it would have no effect. The other way to do it is through Control Panel > Choose default apps by file type, which simply would not list the version of the...

Yeah, I discovered this recently, too. You can go back as far as CS6 on Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and presumably all the others, and you can have multiple versions running simultaneously. One issue to warn about, though. On my Windows 10 machine, when I installed previous versions of...

What do you have to gain by holding files hostage from a client that has gone to another vendor? Do you think that will result in them bailing on the new vendor and coming back to you?

It would take 5 minutes to clean this one up in Photoshop and get a decent auto-trace. Do you want a tutorial?

D50 = 5000° K, according to the lighting indicator at the back of my Pantone Color Bridge.
