  1. Printing on Canvas

    Depends on a lot of factors. Once it's dry to the touch, however long that takes in your environment, you can cut it. Clear Shield dries to the touch pretty fast but will still give you some drag if you glide a finger tip across it. Once a fingertip has no drag on it, it's as cured as it's going...
  2. Printing on Canvas

    Absolutely. I use it to coat most everything printed that isn't actually laminated. The stuff is tougher than you'd think. I find it especially useful on printed banners, it gives them a reasonable abrasion resistance and adds a bit of depth to the colors. I generally keep a gallon of...
  3. Just for giggles

    It's not the color of the hat that's the problem. Distress it some and blur it just a little bit. It's way too sharp as it is.
  4. Just for giggles

    The LHF Boston Truckstyle is locked in a death struggle with the LHF Orchard. Thou shalt not use two specimen type faces in proximity to each other. Especially when they are as incompatible as these two. That and soften the cowboy hat just a taste.
  5. Pretty Cool Quote

    Prima facie evidence that John Ruskin was into the mushrooms when and if he penned that bit of drivel. Did it ever occur to anyone that the lowest bidder may be nothing more than that, the lowest bidder? Not a representative of the forces of darkness, just someone who can do the same thing...
  6. print the colors you are seeing on the screen

    Why, exactly, do you feel that uber-anal not to mention expensive calibration of every piece of gear in sight is 'worth it'? Did the less than $10K [it must be close to $10K or you would have chosen another benchmark] you spent generate at least that much additional business? Why would anyone...
  7. print the colors you are seeing on the screen

    Your printer is the truth, your monitor is not. If colors on your monitor match what comes out of your print it's only coincidental and temporary. There is no causal nor necessary connection between what appears on your monitor and what comes out of your printer. As long as you know what's...
  8. convert pdf to eps?

    Which word didn't you understand? Sure, if you're not saving a conglomerate of different objects in different formats but just a simple object or objects there is no reason for it to be any different. But that has nothing to do with the notion of 'converting' a PDF to some other format...
  9. convert pdf to eps?

    Finally someone gets it. A PDF is a container for various objects in various formats. It itself is not a format such as vector, jpg, tif, etc. The objects being put into a PDF do not, generally, require that their information be converted to some other format. Converting a PDF to some other...
  10. how to handle a stolen design

    You don't need disclaimers on the work, signed contracts, or any of that nonsense. All you need is a file on your machine showing the creation date. A screen shot showing both an Explorer window showing the file creation date and a window showing the contents of the file. This and a copy of the...
  11. Organic Lawn Care

    'Organic' as opposed to 'Inorganic'? I realize that 'organic' and 'natural [as opposed to supernatural?] are trendy and any mention of these two throw-away words will cause any posse of yuppiescum to nod knowingly but they are meaningless in the contexts in which they are used. Actually...
  12. Random thoughts for a kinder, gentler S101

    Having suffered unjustly at the hands of a certified [and subsequently prosecuted and deposited in the local fool farm as a permanent resident] internet stalker, when I revel my actual name and likeness notify the media, hell has frozen over. As far as mewling pleas for a kinder, gentler forum...
  13. Using a local law enforcement logo for a design

    But you can. There's no law against it, nor can there be a law against it as long as the 1st amendment is valid. The local constabulary might protest but there's really nothing that they can do about it. This has been settled in courts many times. Moreover the 'logo' being proprietary to a...
  14. Install Large Graphics Solo

    This sounds very much like you're trying to install the vinyl unmasked. While you might get away with it, perhaps the vaudvillesque wetting and peeling you describe might do something for you, you're still just getting away with it. Mask it, hinge it, apply it. Dry. All by yourself. If you...
  15. Script

    Looks like someone was trying to do some sort of an Arabic flavored script. You might look under Hezbollah or Taliban or something.
  16. Check out the western sky

    Excellent reasoning but your basic assumption, your guess, is wrong. Had it been correct, everything else would have been correct that followed via your calculations.
  17. Check out the western sky

    Not even close...
  18. Check out the western sky

    More like 90 degrees. Or less. Of it were 180 degrees Mars would be well below the eastern horizon. Apropos of nothing, a trivia question: If you were standing in the middle of a flat plane, no mountains or hills on the horizon, how many rising moons [or suns, they are exactly he same size on...
  19. I'm furious

    As opposed to eating inorganic? Since the mindless granola eating idiots preempted the term 'organic' and it's cousin 'natural' [as opposed to 'unnatural' or maybe 'supernatural'] it has provided me with constant source of a bizarre combination of amusement and irritation. Ans then there's the...
  20. W-9s furnishe to customers...why?

    Every year a handful of my clients ask for a W9. I explain to the that in no way am in a 1099 relationship with them. I am merely a merchant selling his wares. I give them a sign, they give me money. Very simple. Do they demand a W9 from the local green grocer? From the dealer if they buy a new...
