So is parallax.

A degree in marketing? Is it too late to get your money back? The raison d'etre of a logo is the logo, not the name. A symbol only requires seeing while a name requires reading and any attendant comprehension. The former is instantaneous while the latter takes some time. The object is to have...

I have a client that, among other things, rents river rafting gear. In the past I've cut stencils with his simplified logo so he could paint them on each raft as required by some law somewhere. I used to get 11x17 Mylar sheets of stencil material from Hobby Lobby, apply app tape for a backing...

It has been my experience, gleaned working with legions of PhD packing colleagues, that anyone with a PhD that wants to be in any way referenced by 'Dr.' is an insufferable a$$. Witness the pompous twit of a wife of the current VP of the USofA. Such self-aggrandizement is most mercifully...

A few things... Make certain that in Flexi the gradient is CMYK and not RGB. RGB gradients sometimes can get strange. In Production manager select the highest quality gradient handling algorithm. In your rendering intents, also in Production Manager, set gradients to 'No Color...

Trash is trash and that's where it all goes. The miniscule amount of crap generated by the shop will have no effect on anything.

Are you printing a full bleed? If so it doesn't matter what media you use the edges can tend to curl. Especially without some special handling. Before you charge out after this particular windmill make sure you're not doing it to yourself.

I've been in this business longer than the most of you have been on the planet and in that time there has been one, as in one, time that this sort of thing has happened to me. That being the case, I give people sketches without deposit all of the time. Getting stiffed is not something I spend a...

If it has to be explained then it's not working. My first impression was a brussels sprout, possibly the most disgusting vegetable on the planet.

Way back when the wall was build I thought that perhaps an interesting story line for a novel might be that a vet visits the wall and finds his own name on it. He reports this anomaly to the apparatus and they find it simpler to kill him than to correct their mistake. The adventure ensues from...

It probably wouldn't matter how many heaters, dryers, blowers, or jet exhausts, what profile or anything else. Re-rolling 50 yards of flood coated media puts an unreasonable amount of weight on the uncured printed surface. Solvent dries via evaporation, that's why it's called solvent. The...

Cast vinyl typically is thinner than calendared. Counter-intuitively, at least for some, generally the better the vinyl the thinner it is. Generally.

An eminently forgettable and totally ambiguous design. It could represent anything from a motorcycle shop to a pudding manufacturer. The picture gives no indication of just what 'Texas' 'Customs' might be. Perhaps a US point of entry along the border.

Try a T-post driver available at any farm supply store. This is a couple of feet of steel tube, capped on one end, with a handle on each side. The heavier the better. You slide it over the top of the post, lift it and drop it. Just drop it, don't push it. It should be able to drive a post...

It might get a slight bow in it but it's not going to curl up like a ribbon on a Christmas gift. So what? A piece of material held rigid at the top and bottom and pulled tight can only curl as much as there is any stretch in the material itself. Thus sayeth the various physical laws under which...

No I meant infinite. Infinitely small. Infinite in the sense that no matter how you magnify it, it's still a point. It's unclear just what an infinite point in geometry, the context in which you seem to be replying, might be. Certainly not a circle.

I've always used plain old vanilla 10oz Ultraflex. But then I use that for virtually all banner work. Never had any complaints. The only reason to use anything heavier than 10oz might be gift wrapping a cape buffalo or something.

There is much folk wisdom about just how far the blade should stick out. Unfortunately vary little of it is based in reality. The mythical fingernail test is certainly in this category. Down pressure is the critical factor, not so much blade exposure. In theory, if the down pressure is...

I print on silver all the time. The only consideration is that the white point is now grey. This tends to make yellows brassy and everything prints a bit darker. Some colors darker than others. If you're unsure of just what's going to come out of the printer then print a Pantone chart on the...

It's the strip of clear plastic with vertical lines printed on it mounted on the carriage ways right behind the head carriage. Clean it very delicately.
