  1. Latex L25500 Question

    We print probably 8-10 hours everyday. I always keep an eye on the warranty % used in the printer info. In my experience with our machine we have to change head when we near 250%. We've gone past that but you are likely to have colours off etc. You should keep an eye on your printer information...
  2. Cloud systems are traps..

    One could argue that your current system is far less secure than a cloud system will be. We're in the infancy stages of cloud computing. I wish I had a link to a MIT article about this very topic. It was about the encryption methods they're working on.
  3. Cloud systems are traps..

    ah, I wouldn't be so paranoid. The security with cloud computing will be leaps and bounds better than current security and encryption.
  4. Table Top Wraps Don't Hold

    I have been using this stuff that I have labelled as "fathead" vinyl. haha I believe it's an ultraflex material. It's thick, techincally removable, but sticks really well on every tabletop I've put it on. I laminate it with a textured lam. I've done a bunch for home depot and they use them on...
  5. What Once Was - Hand Lettering Inking and Vector Process

    They skipped the step between ink and Illustrator. They should have brought it into photoshop before vectorizing. A couple quick tweaks would have pretty much made that take half as long. I've used this process before for creating vectors of more intricate stuff. THe photoshop step is a must IMO.
  6. Nesting Masked templates in Illustrator.

    Depending on how complicated this thing is. Maybe you can select the part you want, fit artboard to that selection, then export that. Repeat for every section. Import into onyx.
  7. Sick to death of Ferrari's BS

    I haven't seen any of the things you've mentioned other than the smell. It smells like weed man. lol I've been accused of lighting up a couple times now while I was printing on the stuff. Ferrarri warehouses must second as grow-ops is my guess...
  8. Ok, wtf?

    I think WI is right. The dodge tool isn't going to be the best thing to use here for the reasons WI stated. If you only want to lighten up the one area. I would try adding another layer. Paint some white in the areas you want to lighten with a big soft brush. Then use the "soft Light" blending...
  9. New Look

    That's a good idea. BUT maybe might be an idea to do that in a pop-up / lightbox. Less clicks for the user, plus then they don't navigate away from your portfolio page. I dunno? I just think people now-a-days are super impatient. So making the page quicker to navigate might be better?...
  10. New Look

    I really like how the portfolio is laid out!! It's got a little Pinterest thing goin on there! :) One thing I did notice though is that when I click on an image in your portfolio, it opens, but it doesn't show the entire image. I have to click again for the lightbox to pop-up and display the...
  11. Publish to PDF question!

    Your compression settings are between 150-300dpi? What about the images you are using are they actually proper dpi when you place them in your document? Are you inporting a 300dpi image, then scaling it up 50x? There are so many things that could be affecting your output. Not to be insulting...
  12. Logo help please

    Try a couple more completely different options. I'm not feeling the "retro-ness". Here's my 5 min. attempt.
  13. Face-palm / No taste

    Your lettering obviously much nicer, but I just had a thought. After he went elsewhere, you sent him what he would have paid you $120 for anyways, did you not just de-value your design time there? May have been a better idea to send him some of your best prior work instead. I dunno?...Just a...
  14. Anyone else going to the 3D Sign Camp?

    I wish! I would love to learn how to do that.
  15. Adobe CC not CS

    You got a source Tech?? Is this just going to affect the US? It seems like the stupidest thing a ISP can do especially since everything is going to the cloud like Adobe. Up here in Canada we already have low bandwidth caps, but it's been getting better over the years because of things like...
  16. In a jam. Grey printing purple

    What printer? I've had that happen on our HP 25500. Heads were past warranty..Replaced 'em and all was well again.
  17. Dealing with literally crazy people

    What mosh said. No lying in that case. What Gino said is just hilarious. A sign shop with security. HAHA oh man. Who'd fall for that? You could try being straight-up?? Works for us. I'm the smallest guy here at 6'4" 190lbs. We don't get any trouble. lol Refer them to your competition.
  18. Taking Bets

    I got $10 that he takes his design but wants to see more "movement" in the flag. haha
