Every time someone whispers the word 'banding' out come the standard litany of reasons. Profiles and heaters leading the way. There's Yet Another reason for banding, especially banding of the will-o-the-wisp here today gone tomorrow what-the-hell-was-that variety. That would be not having...

Grab a corner and shrink it. Then right click on it, select 'Properties', and select, if memory serves, the right-most tab on the properties dialog to see what the resultant resolution might be. If its something you can live with, leave it. If it's too high*, select Bitmaps->Convert to Bitmap...

Droplets of ink on a print are almost always from a bit of lint, even a single tiny hair, on or near the print head. The lint collects ink until a droplet forms and then it falls onto the print. It seldom, if ever, has anything to do with clean or not clean wipers.

If you're going to outsource then either you'll outsource both the printing and the contour cutting or experience software hell. Contour cutting works because the same software that prints also cuts and thus has control over the physical and logical dimensions of the work on both the printer and...

Outside fades such as in your file seldom lend themselves to satisfactory contour cutting unless, and only unless, you can live with a white border around everything. If you can then what to do would depend very much on what software you might be using. If you can't live with a white border...

Before.

One does not coat solvent based pigments with a solvent based coating. I have a small sheet of eco-solvent printed decals that, for an experiment, I tried coating with frog juice. It took well over a year for the coating to dry. Use a water based clear coat on solvent prints. And vice versa...

Do not use frog juice. For anything. Especially anything with solvent inks. Use Clear Shield. Original formula in either satin or gloss, your choice. Moreover, when working with the canvas prints always do so on a soft clean surface. I have a couple of old blankets that I spread on the...

A couple of things to check... First, is the physical length of the image within about 1/2 of the size of the registration mark of the logical length of the image? In other words, is your printer printing short or long? If so then you need to adjust the feed compensation on the printer...

Which part don't you understand? The notion the the definition of a musical work is the sequence of the notes [actually the delta between them]? Do you not understand that when a musical work is protected by copyright that the thing that's protected is that particular sequence of tones...

How, exactly, does one bad performance justify another?

Never. To all those who think that the current national anthem should be replaced with this bit of schmaltz or, shudder, America the Beautiful, or perhaps the Mickey Mouse Club March, I would suspect that not a one of you has ever been outside of this country and heard the Star Spangled...

Feh. The ability to detect a clam in a performance has nothing whatsoever to do with one's ability to perform. Moreover, making various mistakes as one lurches through life does not preclude anyone from criticizing what is generally considered a ghastly performance. Made even more...

Really? It seem to me that when someone authors a piece of music, whatever it might be, that the writer puts exactly the notes it wants in exactly the order it wants. Seldom, if ever, does one see a piece of music with a notation between two notes telling the performer to improvise between...

There's a big difference between bread cast upon the waters and handing out discounts willy-nilly to those that feel that they deserve it because they see themselves as special. I give away all sorts of things but it's always strategic and always on my terms.

Not only do charities and non-profits, along with churches and any one else with their hand out, not get a discount, they get to pay up front. 'Charity's fine, subscribe to mine...' Fagin in Oliver!

In a word, no. You can shuffle and you can dance and you can tweak and you can tune. For all of those efforts you might make some sort of micro-difference detectable only in the right light, but even that is doubtful. It is what it is.

That would be the case if and only if the sensor was following the mark center feeding back from edge to edge. If the beings that designed the mechanism had an IQ larger than their shoe size, they would have made the sensor follow an edge. That being the case it shouldn't matter what the...

If the cut is consistantly off the same amount then you need to adjust the logical offset between the mark sensor and the blade. I don't know how to do this on your gear but somewhere there's an adjustment for this.

OK, what would #10 look like if you filled in all of the captive white, as in a solid background, and perhaps if you narrowed the outside green outline a taste? All of that captive white still looks rather busy and the outer outline seems too fat. Perhaps the perceived fatness will go away when...
