Uhh, I think you need to learn how to use the Pathfinder tools in Illustrator. We would never refuse to cut a logo because the vector is poorly formatted. We just fix it. It rarely takes more than 3 minutes, even for the worst of them.

That's a ball of worms that's probably a bit off-topic for this thread.

Hexachrome Cyan is deprecated, and any designer that picked it as a logo colour, either doesn't know what they're doing or has a very outdated Pantone book. Hexachrome - Wikipedia Search - Find a PANTONE Color Search - Find a PANTONE Color As for solving your problem, you'll probably have to...

If you post one of your problem files up here, we might be able to tell you what the problem is.

I'm pretty sure Hexachrome Cyan is deprecated and has been replaced with Process Cyan. Pantone 2975 Avery 900-650 Powder Blue (12 yr cast) Oracal 631-172 Powder Blue (3 yr calendered) Pantone Process Cyan Avery 900-630 Olympic Blue (12 yr cast) Oracal 951-053 Light Blue (10 yr cast) Oracal...

It just dawned on me that there's no metric equivalent for ppi. That must be annoying for metric designers.

Install interior lighting that's brighter than the sun.

We've been using Gemini for many years and have rarely had an issue production-wise. They can be slow at responding to quote requests, though, but we just tell clients to expect a few days if there's anything custom we can't quote from the catalogue. We did have one order recently where we...

One tick (ʹ) for feet, double tick (ʺ) for inches. Not that anyone knows that here either—we get clients who confuse us by using the wrong ones all the time. And here's my handy formula for calculating minimum resolution based on viewing distance: resolution (ppi) = 600 / viewing distance...

You're assuming that it's a long viewing distance, which was not specified in the post. The minimum viewing distance for an image that size would be around 17 feet. If the print is going to be viewed from closer than that, a higher resolution image would be better.

Appstro, if you happen to get over the teasing and make your way back here, I can offer some advice. Or for anyone else who's interested... We keep it minimal in our lobby/reception area. It's 16'x11', so when you walk in there's a fairly large desk with a 9' high mural behind the desk that...

Museo Slab, and it's free on Typekit if you have an Adobe subscription.

Just select the watermark in Photoshop, press Shift+F5 and select "Content-Aware".

You don't need a CNC to make your own core ID cards. We print from a template, apply it to PVC, then cut it with a ruler. The left/right sides are at an angle so the top is slightly wider than 3" and the bottom is slightly less.

Very funny. That's Times New Roman.

I would either use outer glow or drop shadow in Illustrator, or I would do a photorealistic mockup in Photoshop.

Oracal 809 Taxi Beige looks to me like a nearly perfect match for 3M Fawn, and it's available as a 970RA wrap film.

I have an XC-540 like yours. The first thing I would recommend is if you're using canned profiles, try using Avery's profiles instead. They're the best I've found, even for printing on 3M or Oracal. Just try to match gloss with gloss, matte with matte, etc. Also change your default Colour...

I've never used it. I'm just aware of it, as one of our local suppliers sells it.
