    Jason, what are you trying to accomplish?
  7. Adobe Illustrator Variable Data Plugin

    Do you have InDesign or Quark? They would be better candidates for Variable Data. Alas, I was wrong there is some stuff for Illustrator: http://www.adobe.com/products/vdp/creativepros.html Do a Google search and you will find a lot more. I use HP product SmartStream (used to be Yours Truly)...
  8. Metal Poster Design Contest - VOTE NOW (again)!

    These are hilarious! I haven't yet voted, but I am inclined to 3 and 9. Each one is pretty darn cool! There isn't a sucky one in the lot.
  9. HELP ME PLEASE software??

    Ordway Sign Supply had a bunch of used/refurbs and free shipping recently
  10. Font copywrites????

    I can answer that, you are in late stage production and a quick change is needed… everyone starts pointing fingers when you use your version and it is ever so slightly different… Happens all the time. Fonts converted to outline always appear just slightly heavier, less now with CTP than film...
  11. CorelDraw!

    I hope Corel prospers, because its the last bit of competition Illustrator has, and I hope it gains market share.
  12. Font copywrites????

    They might, in fact have a license for the font! Sometimes, its easier to send your font along, because it could have some metric differences, special kerning, etc. I would make a form stating that they acknowledge that they have a license for the font(s) in question. It would relieve you from...
  13. Optimum Roman

    Shovel, its overused, yes, but it is a classic font by Herman Zapf 1952-1958. I think its overused because it is so revolutionary, a humanist sans. If you ever have doubts about the font, you should check out the original Stempel Specimens, they are amazing! Rodi

    I use old software, Live Picture 2.6, Pixar Typestry 2.2x, LetraStudio 2.x, FontStudio 2.0x, on OSX I use PitStop, Freehand, Illustrator, and I wish I had the money for PDF Tuner from CGS. Interestingly enough except Typestry, the old mac software is mac only.
  16. Helvetica Font

    Personally, I prefer URW Nimbus Sans and as Stacy said, the equivalent Nimbus Sans Neuvo…(Designed by Max Medinger) If you have to be a purist, get the Linotype LT Helveticas and Helvetica neues.

    Can I possibly inspire some folks on this? Remember the movie Spinal Tap? "IT CAN GET NO BLACKER THAN THIS" Totally.
  18. Design Contest - Death Metal Poster!

    Joe, great idea for a poster! This should be a TV show, oh, I don't watch TV, but good idea anyway!
  19. Help

    Did you meticulously check your layers to make sure its not the ai file?
  20. RGB to CMYK = awful colors for biz cards?

    Joe, you then become completely dependent upon your print production person, and if they have their setting "SWOP" its gonna get ugly. RIPs generally have a difficult time with bright blues, because its out of the gamut of Cyan. Why it is, is because of the weakness of the cyan plate, which...
