I always like to add black to my blues, it keeps them easier to print 100c 75m 0y 15k. Obviously the closer to navy you get you up the myk values accoridingly.

Fred, I love that you mentioned Freehand and Fontographer together. I love Freehand. I totally disagree with you about Fontographer, I think compared to Ares/Letraset FontStudio, fontographer is a dog. But its been 20 years since FontStudio has been upgraded! I had to buy illy 5 to work with...

The Pats ought to win, but the game. I often think at times that (like the Giants a few years back to the Pats toward the end of the season) that losing earlier to a team can either draw strength from the losing team or wipe them out. Who knows what beating the Steelers did for the Broncos. It...

Hey Colin, What is the problem with the print? Sometimes you can curve your problems away, either in Photoshop or at the RIP.

I bought Canvas 8 for Mac just for the fonts, 2540 high quality URW fonts for cheeeeep. But Rick, can't you steer people to Freehand instead? :thankyou:

Bob, I would not be so sure about the RGB at certain RIPs. When I worked on Rampage, RGB would process pretty well, but the Agfa Apogee RIP, it was lousy no K, but CMY all heavy, and it did not matter .jpg, .eps, pdf or native.

Bob, how would your scenario handle a 5th color? Also text? I tend to agree with you about no color management (no one really understands color management), but you can send them as .pdf, .eps, or even documents, just run the numbers I have (highlight 5c2m2y0k/shadows 80C70M70Y70K)

So true when there is no competition. They have it all pagelayout, raster, vector, acrobat. YOU NEED THEM THEM! Illustrator is a real dog since CS2 (type cabilities are a joke) and keeps getting to be less and less of a program. Compare all their programs to when they had competition (Quark...

Would help if you gave a model number.

Nice!

I Live near Gerber, they most likely are having a nightmare of a time.

I remember writing a word on signs 101 and it was edited. I was really pissed, cause I even showed the admin where others had used the same word and it was deemed ok, but not in my particular case, oh well. I got over it. If you think this place is worthwhile, you will overlook when your toes...

Save as an eps and it goes away, it is not the most elegant of workarounds, but it does what the RIP has failed to do. If you have some sort of "Composite Overprint" that works too, sometimes.

Fontforge, free if you know how to compile on Mac, Windows, Linux, Unix. Fontmaster (expensive), but they have light versions for free. Not intuitive, but they are good tools Pat uses Font Creator, if memory serves. I'm fairly certain you can find a font that would be well suited to your...

His fonts always made/make the upper crust of the font world cringe, but they are all very successful and still sell. He was very fast with the brush, a true master, he knew what he was doing. He also was an even better poster designer and graphic designer par excellence. I love that painting :)

Bump, some font designers are worth it :0

I love this quote about his type design, it is so French!! It was typical of Excoffon to combine audacity with caution.

His fonts, ahhh, Antique Olive, Banco, Mistral, Diane, Calypso. He was also a great designer and Typographer. His fonts all have a snazzy bit to them, they are rule breakers by a man who knew the rules better than most others. He thought so highly of the tops of letters...

Bump for good fonts :)
