  1. printed tire sidewalls

    Pretty neat potential. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/07/the-next-big-thing-bridgestone-prints-patterns-on-tires/
  2. Border Clean Up

    I was teaching with a visual. Every step there is the mostly the same in Corel
  3. Border Clean Up

    No offense was taken. I just find that most autotrace files create more nodes than necessary and cleaning up nodes usually takes longer than creating them properly by hand one by one. But then that is just my workflow. I often get autotraced vectors from customers and they ask me to clean up, I...

  5. Border Clean Up

    I would like to see what the quality of a quick trace in corel looks like
  6. Border Clean Up

    Sounds like alot of work. I can name that tune, er trace that shield with 6 nodes for half and, as mentioned earlier, mirror the right/left side. Most quick trace (autotrace) will result in too much clean up afterwards
  7. Raster VS Vector Sign for the Shop

    The technical terms mean very little to most people. A visual is usually the best solution. As the others have mentioned there is not enough contrast on your 2 cars. Create an even worse version for the raster image (downsample). Also if you include samples make sure to also go basic. Pick a...
  8. Raster VS Vector Sign for the Shop

    Not that I recall. 95% of the time people who order from me know the difference which is why they come to me in the first place
  9. Barcodes w/ Transparent Background

  10. Raster VS Vector Sign for the Shop

    I was asked in the past half hour to recreate this as a high res file :banghead:
  11. HP Z1 Work Station

    hard to tell but are the swappable parts proprietary? This does not appear to have a normal power supply and I cannot imagine you can just stick in any graphics card. My guess is hard drives are not an issue.
  12. Fun with fonts

    Nice. On #3, IMHO the C, G and S don't seem to match the other letters. That blunt serif end don't have the same look as the pointy serifs of every other letter
  13. CAD files - straight segments

    doubtful. I have seen drawings that did not get imported and they had the same issues
  14. CAD files - straight segments

    ok i will keep the polyarc function in mind for future reference, thanks
  15. CAD files - straight segments

    I don't have any dedicated CAD software. Why do CAD programs create curves as a series of short straight segments instead of genuine smooth curves? Is there a setting in the software? If someone creates a CAD file and it has straight segments instead of smooth curves can they change a...
  16. Just a reminder, hard drive crashed Friday.

    But how do you test the actual backup? Assuming it was ghosted and an identical backup (not just a data backup), the first thought would be to erase your hard drive and restore from the backup. But if that fails then you are SOL. If the backup fails you have nothing. So how do you test it...
  17. Just a reminder, hard drive crashed Friday.

    Question... how do you know your backup is reliable? The customer I mentioned had a backup but something about the backup itself was corrupt too. Are there telltale ways of determining the validity of the backup itself? And then there are different types of backups. Ghosted, raid, data only
  18. anyone know this one???

  19. Just a reminder, hard drive crashed Friday.

    I had a customer last week who requested I send them all the vectors I did for them for the past few years. They did NOT have a proper backup and their hard drive crashed
