AI files aren't meant to be used as production files, even if some RIPs support them. You should be using PDF or EPS, and that might solve your problem. Occasionally AI files will produce unexpected results in non-Adobe apps, because an AI file typically has two copies of the artwork in it, one...

I re-read your posts a couple times and I really don't understand how clipping masks and separate Illustrator files are serving any purpose at all, besides multiplying the size and number of files you have to deal with, and multiplying your work. All you need is one Illustrator file with one...

I would still pass. Did you read the quote from the client? There's a red flag pretty much every three words. A highly experienced brand designer might be able to turn a client like that around, but even then I wouldn't bet on success.

It looks hand-lettered to me, but Romana is probably close enough to satisfy the client. The W is different, but you could just invert an M. http://myfonts.us/td-Fk9uc2 Here's a much better sample of the logo from a YouTube video. This was found at the top of a Google search for the client's name.

I would pass on this job. It sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.

That's a lot of unnecessary work. You know you can just place one instance of the full-size artwork across all your artboards and export to a multi-page pdf? No clipping masks, no copying and pasting. See my method above.

Talk to your sales rep at the vendor you buy your vinyl from. Our Grimco sales rep drops off swatchbooks at our shop whenever new ones are available.

In case you're not aware, Avery is actually syncing up the colours of their calendered (750 series fka 700) and cast (950 series fka 900). Since their old Battleship Grey (cal) and Marine Grey (cast) are nearly the same colour, Marine Grey is being discontinued and the new series will include...

You can set this up in Illustrator in under 5 minutes. Just start a new document with these settings. Turn your bleeds on after starting the new document, otherwise your artboards won't be edge-to-edge. Then place the client artwork and export to PDF. That's it.

Looks hand drawn to me. I would begrudgingly trace it and then wash my eyes out with soap.

All I can tell you from that photo is it's probably vinyl, and it isn't laminated.

We tested our regular old Avery 1005 cast a while ago on the carpet in our shop. I was surprised that it survived months of being walked on by our staff. It was cut in a custom shape with curves and no sharp corners.

If you've got enough jobs coming in to justify buying a printer for this very specific mesh, maybe the mesh manufacturer would consider adding a lining for you? Manufacturers will often do custom runs if you're ordering in volume. Also, this sounds like the type of question BigfishDM would have...

Umm, have you tried the Distribute Spacing buttons in the third row of the Align panel? They do exactly this. The trick is, you have to select your objects, then left click on one to make it a Key Object, or simply switch the Align To option to Key Object. Then you can type 0 (zero) as your...

Might be loosely based on a font, but this looks like a rookie freehand job. Judging by how butt ugly it is, it's unlikely they used a pounce pattern of an actual font, if that's what you were thinking.

Illustrator is designed to be powerful for repetitive tasks, not to have a shortcut for every obscure individual task. If you have a hundred different objects and you want to draw a rectangle around each of them, it can be done in a few easy steps, with any colour/stroke/offset/etc you want...

It has nothing to do with endangered species. All native birds are protected, and you cannot disturb active nests without a federal (and possibly a state) permit. But you're right, there are exceptions for non-native birds including Domestic Pigeons, European Starlings and House Sparrows. More...
