Yeah, excruciating...

Unfortunately Flexi gives you a passel of canned distortions, most of which provide choreographed and hence limited manipulation. There's a couple of them that do allow manipulating a node independent of any other node, via holding Ctl or Shift, but, for most of the canned distortions, that is...

Why do you want to stretch something that's going to spend it's entire life figuring out a way to assume its original dimensions? Or do you mean merely malleable when you use the word 'stretch'? That I can understand.

In all of your efforts all of the copy other than the dubious attempt at cleverness with the 'Mother's Day...' line is all pretty much the same type face in the same weight. This makes it look very much like text scattered around on a background as opposed to a layout that causes the eye to...

Really? What then of all the mewing 'Perceived Value' enthusiasts cruising these waters? If the doctrine of 'Perceived Value' is valid then what possible difference would it make if some civilian or another was cognizant of the price of vinyl? Vinyl being but one ingredient among many used to...

Autoweld is a combination of two words: 'autow' and 'eld'. Which signify nothing. The intended purpose of autoweld was/is to weld overlapping objects, like that like of script you forgot to weld together. I believe that the welding takes place in the software, not in the hardware. I could be...

What's the giant 'K' for? Looks way out of balance.

OK, try this.. Print a white vector rectangle and a white bitmap rectangle side by side. They should print identically. If the vector label is white and the bitmap is not then there's probably something in your setup that's not properly dealing with bitmaps. Most often that would be your...

Flatten any transparencies and set the rendering intent for bitmaps to 'Perceptual'.

Not every single person. But then sometimes a functional idiot, especially one that seems to be a Serious Specimen, such as yourself turns up and the temptation can be overwhelming.

The term is 'macular degeneration'. 'Macro degeneration' is when some code you created for Excel stops working.

Tell them to add 5%-10% noise to the gradient to eliminate banding and send you a full size 150ppi RGB JPG.. Send it to your RIP and let it sort it out. It can do that far better than any other software you have. If your set up is anywhere reasonably close to normal, what you see is pretty much...

Hand lettering your own version of Brush Script is like being able to turn water into wine but only being able to do muscatel.

Exactly so. 'Thermography', also known as 'Virkotype', among other things, is merely sprinkling plastic powder on wet ink then heating it so it melts. It's not done because it looks good, it's done to increase production time and concomitantly lower the price. The vendors of such of course sell...

Try to follow along... No one is claiming that a copyright ceases to exist upon the expiration of the work's creator. Of course it exists. The question is if their are no interested heirs or assigns, is that copyright moot? Copyrights are to protect the author and its estate. If there is no...

I'm familiar with and understand the various applicable statutes. It's unclear in that if there is no interested party in the copyright then it's rather ambiguous. The point being, who, exacts, owns the copyrights to these materials? If there is no one to own the rights then where are you? If...

If 50,000,000 people do a stupid thing, it's still a stupid thing. Merely because this level of paranoia is common, especially in smaller niche providers, does not make it necessarily acceptable. Likewise, making a system incredibly hard to use does not necessarily provide some sort of...

Google Alberto Vargas or George Petty. Between the two of them there's cubic yards of pinup images. Both of these guys are long dead, Vargas folded in 1982 and Petty in 1975, the copyright status of any of their work is unclear and probably non-existent.

If that University Roman monstrosity is what you're changing to, the mind boggles at what it might have been before.

Perhaps you might entertain the notion of calling the the authors... ...Whoops, that would be SAI, the home of no support. SAI is the biggest problem with Flexi. It seems a shame that people have to depend on forums and friends for support of a product for which, because it's a niche...
