What he said. Use an upper case 'S' to match the 'T', leave the apostrophe, if you absolutely have to include it, right where it is. Since the 'Topsy's' type face is thick and thin you can get away with stretching it a bit, That's a bit, don't go crazy. The fill in 'Topsy's' is annoying...

The bottom two look like De Tar Baby's evil twin. The top one looks like a creature with terminal hemorrhoids.

Export from Corel to a 150dpi RGB jpg. Send the jpg directly to Production Manager. Set the bitmap Rendering Intent to 'Perceptual'. Assuming you have a reasonably decent profile, what you see will pretty much be what you get. Split infinitive notwithstanding. Eps is the last thing I'd use to...

The phone number is so spread out it looks more like a bizarre combination to a safe or set of GPS coordinates. The rest of it is dark and depressing, notwithstanding the dubious typography mixing italics as you have done here. Just because your name is 'Black Diamond' doesn't mean that your...

You can use a number of free font editors to produce a new font file.Even easier if you have a font file from which to start. Just copy the font file that is what you want without the stencil stuff. Then edit the copy adding the stencil bars to handful of characters that require them. As if...

You called them? Why? They're the ones that want something, let them call you. Realize that in this you are completely in the driver's seat. It's no skin off your butt if they never get to use that name. That being the case, you're honor bound to rape them for everything you can squeeze out...

It's very, ah, institutional looking. It has all of the excitement of a freeway off ramp sign. If that was the look you were going for, you've achieved it. Regardless, lose the gradient.

All you need is Photoshop Elements. A cheap, often free, castrated version of Photoshop. That's all I have and have the Alien Skin Eye Candy package installed. Even without that piece, if you create the proper file folder hierarchy in your Program Files directory for Adobe, even with a dummy...

I have no idea why this should be happening but it is what it is. You might check the output feed compensation on both devices jst to see how close it actually is. As previously stated, 12' is a really long run for automatic mark sensing. Doing manual marks is rather simple. The description...

Twaddle. If the plotter either is scooting right past the upper right mark or it doesn't advance far enough to find it then your problem is this... You have two devices, your printer and your plotter, that each have their own idea of what, say, 12" of media is. A 12' print, as you...

Just blow it right into a paper grocery bag. When it's done, pour on some melted butter, some salt, grab the bag and shake. The either pour it into a bowl or eat it right out of the bag. Moreover, it gives you a real reason to opt for paper down to the green grocer's. Thing is, hot air...

Lose the Serpentine-like type face. It was beyond passe 10 years ago. Nowadays it's the mark of the amateur. Or at least one of them. If this is supposed to be a logo and not a sign you might consider losing a little detail on the illustration. Make it a bit more stylized. Iconic as it were...

Not hardly sayeth Big Jake. If Illustrator is your thing then typically you's export out of their in some format or another that's compatible with your RIP. Import into your RIP and then RIP and print. Doing a contour cut is just a wee bit trickier if you're not printing and cutting from...

Responsibility will be assigned according to who has the most money.

Disregard it at your peril, sport. I was creating dither algorithms when you were making in your pants. I know from whence I speak, unlike the coven of 'convert to CMYK' specimens. The proof is in the printing. I routinely send RGB bitmaps to my RIP and what comes out of the printer is pretty...

Your RIP will do a far better job interpreting RGB than any other software you or anyone else has. Here's why, sort of... When you convert a bitmap from RGB to CMYK, regardless of what software you might be using, each pixel is mapped from its RGB value to some arbitrary CMYK value. One by...

Exactly so. Export out of Corel as an RGB jpg and print it. Going to eps just buys you more headache. There is no universal standard for handling gradients, or transparencies and outlines. Every file format deals with these issues in it's own inimitable, and usually less than acceptable way...

Exactly so. Tape a piece of paper to the subject flower pot. Scribe two horizontal lines on the taped paper as far apart as the label is tall. Remove the paper and tape it to a flat surface. The lines you scribed when the paper was taped to the pot will reveal the exact curve you need to...

The reason you get wrinkles, folds, and creases is that you're not holding the banner material flat on the table through the entire taping process. The trick is to leave your long rule laying on the banner to help hold it flat and keep it from moving. Winkles and stuff happen because the banner...

All of that would appear to reduce to 2x-y which intuitively doesn't seem quite right since it's linear. I should think that something like x^2/y might yield a better number.
