It probably makes more sense that whatever smarmy slogan was supposed to appear. Quiet competence trumps motivational bulls**t every time.

Do you want actual physical texture or would the illusion of texture do? If the former then continue your quest for a textured media. If the latter you might look into something like Alien Skin Snap Art. It will add completely controllable faux brush strokes complete with equally...

If and only if there are no macros attendant to whatever file you might be opening. If there are VBA macros they absolutely positively will not work with Open Office. OO uses a far different, and if you were fetched up with VBA incomprehensible, object model than VBA. Open Office always puts...

Just pull out the old cartridge and put in the new. If you want to know how much ink is in a cartridge weigh it. Pull it out and set it on a scale. Then put it back. On my scale a new cartridge weighs ~14 oz and an empty cartridge tips the scales at ~5.5oz. A bit of elementary arithmetic...

There's a difference between statistical inference and necessary and sufficient conditions. Smoking is linked to cancer via the former, the latter has yet to be demonstrated. Exactly the same for your Teflon boogieman, condemned by, in this case scant, statistical inference while no mechanism...

Print a Pantone chart and hang it on a wall. Then find a color on that chart that is the closest match to whatever Pantone number you're trying to match. More often than not there's a color on the printed chart that will more closely match a specific PMS number than the color for that number. If...

Before you run out into traffic seeking Yet Another profile you might want to review your rendering intents and dither algorithm settings. Profiles are highly overrated. If you understand your hardware and know what you're about you only need one or two. Those that don't quite get this are...

Obviously you don't get it.

People who have secrets have something to hide.

After you divide up the original into the three images you want... Decide how large a margin you need to accommodate your stretcher bars or whatever mounting method you're going to use. For example say you need a 1" margin. You duplicate the left and right 1" of the image, flip them...

Not a system, just a way of doing it. As far as it being the same twice, it probably won't be but you sure as hell can close in on it. Generally it goes like this... Start stretching and stapling the canvas from the center out on each of the four sides. When you get about half of the...

It's not the 'old' way, but it is the correct way. The reason being that when doing it properly you don't slit the corners leaving the print open for possible tearing at the ends of those cuts when stretching or especially during any subsequent restretching**. Moreover, doing it correctly...

If you know how to do a gallery wrap you can do one with conventional stretcher bars faster than it took the demo guy on the video to put his stretcher bars in the little red plastic corner widgets. It's not rocket surgery and it doesn't require special anything, just a set of stretcher bars...

What she said. Unless you're printing at something over 1200 dpi, a foolish thing to do, a 300ppi image is counter-productive. Drop the image resolution down to 100-150 ppi or even 72-96 ppi. As a rule of thumb you always want to print at a resolution at least 4 times that of the image...

Hard to avoid it entirely but you can mitigate the problem by always, as in always, store all printable media in the plastic sleeve in which it came. Also, don't leave any media that you're worried about on the printer's input spool. Unwrap it, load it, print it, unload it, and re-wrap it...

Bzzzt. Wrong. The plural of goose is gooses. A goose is a female of the species informally known as geese. A gander is a male of that same species. The phrase 'Two geese' refers to a pair of sexually indeterminate members of the species. Likewise 'Two gooses' refers to a pair of female...

You're going about it backwards. Match the requirements of the job to the capabilities of your tackle, not the other way around. The latter method is the path to madness. Instead of agonizing over finding a way to reproduce some specific color or another, print a Pantone chart or even a full...

'Christ is come'? What the hell kind of grammar is that? Is this Yet Another example of genuine biblical gibberish or merely the work of a coven of the functionally illiterate? Note that christ, or anything else for that matter, can be a lot of things, he can be brown, he can be loud, he can...

Laser printers use toner, not ink. Ink is a liquid pigment of one sort or another and toner is some sort of fusible plastic-like particles. A laser printer prints by exciting areas on a silicone drum, transferring the charge on the drum to a sheet of media, sprinkling toner on the media where it...

Jerky? Why would anyone want to take something at least marginally edible and render it inedible? There's little difference between the taste of jerky and the taste of the package in which it comes. Jerky is a low-tech way to preserve protein, not a method for creating a delicacy. Gak.
