They let them go cheap - saves the labor time needed to smash them down into small enough pieces to...
  2. Looks like Sports Illustrated has started doing their own graphics to save a buck

    Gino, not sure why this headline caught my eye: "Sports Illustrated Model Brooks Nader Wears See-Through Dress To Awards Show" Could be it is 5am here, I am printing out monument wraps that have to go up later today, I have the FISA report hearings on in the background & today is my 60th...
  3. Looks like Sports Illustrated has started doing their own graphics to save a buck

  13. Stay CS6? Or Upgrade to CC? What am I gaining?

    If you get a majority of client files using the latest CC the harder it will be to open them without calling the customer and asking them to save down. Just this week I started getting multi-page pdfs that would open in my CC 2019 but all the art board info was being stripped out and replaced...
