Why the nerd-tape on the spectacles? Interesting touch regardless.

And when, exactly, did you graduate from Pollyanna U?

Difference beween Avery and Oracle? Avery manufactures vinyl and office supplies while an oracle peers into your future and sees what's to become of you. Often by examining the entrails of some small creature or another or, less often, by examining the stains in your shorts. Or did you...

Exactly so. Some of these faces are such typographical mid-air collisions that I often think that whomever is wanting to ID these monstrosities would be better off by not knowing. Back in the nineties everyone was a publisher and, apparently thought themselves typesetters as well. Hah! In the...

Well, that settles it eh? We? Are you a royal or perhaps you harbor a tapeworm? The use of 'we' is a vacuous appeal to authority. Regardless of just what the ignorancia, of which you seem to be a block captain, might think, typefaces remain typefaces and fonts remain fonts. If you've...

If you're going to be in this business then you should spend some time learning the nomenclature, which is at least half of all understanding. To help you on your way, in the world of typography, that flavor of typeface** is called a 'script'. There is a small subset of scripts that is sometimes...

Are you printing a full bleed? If so this can cause the edges to lift after a time. If you can leave a small unprinted border you'll have more luck. What vinyl? These are bumper stickers, use the cheapest media you can. As far as laminate, if you use a coat of Clear Shield or other liquid...

Where to begin...First offset will only affect those points on the cut where the blade must turn. If the offset isn't correct then these points will be either over or under cut, not a smooth transition form one tangent to the next. Offset is nothing more than the distance from the tip of the...

One does not ride a horse to 'get there', rather one rides a horse to have ridden. Since you feel that it's a waste of time, attempting to explain it would be like trying to explain a sunset to a blind person. Just so you know, I dearly love to chase** cows but I don't rope, I like all of my...

A 'gender reveal party'? The mind boggles at the inconsequentiality of such a ridiculous event. Yet Another example of people with way too much time on their hands.

I use Photo Zoom Pro but there's a host of packages that do the same thing. 110% is roughly the same as shaking beads and rattles while chanting "Booga booga" compared to one of these packages.

Just as easy, if not easier, to do on silver. Remember that white point? I've been printing gold leaf in all of it's variations and tints on silver for years. Try it some time, you might be surprised.

Why not just use the image in the original post? It's sufficient to allow enlargement, especially with a spline fit algorithm such as PhotoZoom and a host of others. I take images of approximately that size to billboard dimensions using the proper software.

Why would you want to print on gold when you can print your own gold, and most any other color, on silver? Moreover, with silver you get a white point that's at least in the same galaxy as white. With gold, not so much.

Weld? Do any of you people recommending welding the two boxes actually use this software? It would appear not. Here's a lesson: When objects are welded they are joined into a single object and common borders cease to exist . That's what weld means ferchrissakes. Thus, for this of you who are...

Exactly. The only way to avoid double cutting is to have one line. If you have two lines, Flexi will but two lines. But then even if it did do a double cut, sow what? I your plotter is set to the correct down pressure and your blade exposure is set properly, it shouldn't hurt a thing.With...

Either turn down the pressure or back the blade into the holder a bit. Or some combination. Note that, at least with the FC-7000, the pressure number is just a number and the only meaning you can ascirbe to it is that the smaller the number the less the pressure and the larger the number the...

This. This is the pragmatic method. Not only is it the fastest was to solve the problem, but it gives the coloristas the vapors as well. Something not without its own charm. Long ago, on a variety of media, I assigned a printed color to every color of Oracal 651 and 751 for each media...

No matter how your create a particular gray your RIP is going to print it in CMYK not K. You can fiddle and diddle your profiles to get closer, certainly one of the of color nostra in these waters will be happy to expound at length on dealing with this sort of problem. At the end, there...

Gosh that's good to know. Try to comprehend, Babbage, I was describing what happens to when 10 was backed out and 7 re-ignited, as per the instructions from the Great White Fathers there at Microsoft. My lack of interest in what you might think I 'should' have done approaches total. For reasons...
