  1. Rant Help Make Our Lives Better: Reform Illustrator's Canvas Size Limit

    This comes up a lot, and I do wish Adobe would fix it, but in the meantime it's really not that difficult to just design in 1:10 scale. All you have to do is move the decimal to the left.

  3. Dry Brush Font ID Mystery

    Montana might just be a previous name for Arbor Brush, prior to 2012. The Montana screenshot says it's by FontHaus, which is the same company that released Arbor Brush. They're a large font distributor that has tens of thousands of fonts, so maybe they had two fonts called Montana and they...

    Looks like Univers, not Helvetica.
  5. Got me stumped

    Font prefixes normally identify the foundry that released them. GT usually refers to the Swiss foundry Grillitype, but in this case it's actually Gemini (the sign wholesaler). You can download a package of their fonts for free on their website.
  6. Cutting t-shirt Vinyl in Roland XC-540 and blade force is too high! It's ripping the media

    It sounds like OP got it working, but if anyone's referencing this thread in the future, you may also need to check your VersaWorks settings in the Cutting tab. From there you can select the cutting pressure, or tell VersaWorks to use the current setting on the printer, and the set it on the...
  7. Need Help INVOICES and the State of CA.

    According to this California lawyer who specializes in the sign industry, a subcontractor (signspe) can be given jail time for illegally working for an unlicensed general contractor (the graphic designer).
  8. Need Help INVOICES and the State of CA.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that in California it's illegal for anyone who is not a licensed contractor to subcontract a job, because they would then be acting as a general contractor, which they are not. So the graphic designer cannot subcontract the work to OP, and OP must invoice...
  9. Trouble creating cutlines in Versaworks

    Don't forget when you create the swatch, you have to select Spot colour, not Process colour. Also, I've tested everything in the stroke panel for compatibility with VersaWorks cut lines. Doesn't cause problems with VersaWorks cut lines Stroke weight Cap style Corner style Miter limit...

    They've actually raised the single-user (with two devices) plan to $52.99. Your plan is Creative Cloud for Teams, which costs $79 per user. You could save $67/mo if you switch to three individual plans, but there are some perks that supposedly justify the extra cost for Teams. Go here and click...

    Adobe CC has more than enough new features to make it worthwhile for us. Sometimes they'll add a killer new feature, but often it's just little improvements that make our workflow so much easier.

    Also note, depending how old that tombstone is, you may not find a digital font that matches. Today's digital fonts are primarily based on historic printing typefaces, not so much on engraving styles (they used to be two entirely separate things, of course). If you can't find a tombstone font...

  14. Need Help Cannot find this Seeburg.......................

    I doubt you'll find anything online that's going to give you a half decent print, even in a high-res scan of an instruction manual. There's more than enough images online for you to redraw it, though.

  16. Just In Did you see WWDC?

    Wow, pretty astonishing to see this in action, but I doubt it'll be accurate enough when you need precise measurements for production. Fantastic for quotes though!
  17. Help ID this background image

    Could you just recreate it like this? Took 1 minute in Photoshop to create this from the logo.
  18. Proofing Help

    Yeah, I think if you want to proof these small adjustments, you need to do them in your design software. RIP software can make some minor adjustments to your artwork, but those functions are meant to be for production use only, after the client has approved the artwork. FYI, if you want to make...
  19. Need Help Converting complex jpg into eps

    No, what I understood from the original post, was that they wanted to convert to vector so they could enlarge a photo for a vinyl wrap. As I said, there are better ways to do that, for instance bicubic resampling (Image > Image Size in Photoshop), which preserves the detail in the photo. Your...
