How may medias do you really NEED to hit neutral grayscale on?! If you have the software and spectro you’ll save yourself so many headaches! Does building custom profiles allow you to print every color perfect? No! It does not. There are always needs for tweaks. Custom profiles will build a...

I am late to responding, guessing you moved ahead with production. What is "the best image I can get"? If you're starting with a jpeg your are hamstringed from the get go. Is it a photo? Is it artwork? What file format is the original image? Have you done any image editing...aside from trying...

It’s big business! More so than many people think! “It’s just video games” that take hundreds of people to make! More like making films these days!

I get PLENTY of not so fun jobs! Nintendo jobs are tough sometimes because they guard their intellectual property so tightly, I rarely get much time for them. They want to avoid leaks.

This was a fun one! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/the-animal-crossing-new-horizons-booth-is-the-best/1100-6474222/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/nintendo/2020/2/29/21156895/animal-crossing-switch-new-horizons-pax-east-2020-nintendo-booth

From a printing perspective...if you have the font in a pdf or ai...and it is missing, you can place that file in Illustrator and use the "flatten transparency" Just check the "convert to outlines" It is hack-y but can give you vector files to work with, albeit messy files. A lot of times you...

I think there would be a great market for this in the grand format sector...we get notoriously bad images that started as a low res jpeg and ALL of the artifacts get upsampled and enlarged with the "good" stuff. As Bannertime stated the preserve details 2.0 is incredible...but you can only do so...

SO SO happy to be in dye sub to fabric now! I was a whiz on the Seal...but don't miss mounting and laminating! We laminated our inkjets off the good old vegetable dye HP designjets...I always told the customers they were temporary even with laminate...some of the salespeople would try to sell...

Looks rough, you venture a pretty good guess... My guess is nepotism. The one that gets me is when we have someone order a backlit sign for a photo-op backdrop!

Side C is going to have a curve already just from the other two sides. I was saying plywood because it's NOT as permanent and can be adjusted. I typically have to model stuff to visualize, so I may be wrong. Maybe make a scale model with some pipe cleaners and cardboard to solve problems before...

Was totally going to suggest something like this! You could probably just use plywood for your cross sections/spacers, no? The cross sections will probably have the holes closer to center and will be at an angle perpendicular to the center support. You might want to key them too, so you don't...

GAC05 has got it! If you haven't used cad or one of it's flavors it's a little tough to get used to the command prompt (the little white window at the top of my screen shot) This is where you can input options to how you want your command to behave. When you flatten the developable surfaces...

I haven’t had any experience with flexi, only onyx and caldera. Prefer onyx, use caldera due to machine drivers. Twain! Haha! I don’t miss those large format scanning days through the scsi cord! The problem we have in proofing is it’s tough to show/express resolution issues with an emailable...

Interesting. Do they support layer masks? I do see that compatibility could be a key factor into hanging on to tif. Similar in my opinion to Corel draw due to the cutter drivers and such. Don’t get me wrong...Photoshop as of late bugs me quite a bit. Won’t be long until there are full on...

Not ONLY because the warning. I like all of the native non destructive adjustment tools psd has to offer. Haven’t tested if layered tifs will retain all of that type of stuff. We get approval on art too, it just hurts to print crap when it doesn’t have to be that way. Compression is sometimes...

All right, all right. The tif compression is pretty dang good. My last issue with a tif MUST have been a re-save of something that already had jpeg compression. The zip compression option for layers within the lzw tif were really impressive. The lzw tif with rle compression for layers was 561...

I see not only are these from creative suite 2, you get a warning dialog. Truncated tifs just open. PSD is the best current pixel based file format.

I did a duo tone type image like this, and had full control of the spots at the rip. A little cumbersome to set up though.

Bless your heart.

Will check out this article, but I can tell you the main reason I don’t like to use the tif format. If a tif file is truncated or damaged, it will still open. I had a project where this was the case, half of the image was black (the bottom half) I was provided no digital proof, just the...
