I use both, depending. The stuff is chameleon like in that it tends to take on the gloss of whatever you're putting it on. Semi-gloss on a gloss media will come out rather glossy. Gloss on a matte/satin/whatever will come out somewhat less than glossy.

No. No brush strokes and, assuming you don't leave a puddle of liquid on the print, no other flaws.

If you printed with any flavor of solvent ink, ecco, light, whatever, there's no spray product that is suitable. Virtually all spray products are solvent based and you need a water based product to coat a solvent print. You can get away with a solvent based spray product but that's exactly...

The 6 is the quality setting, the lower the number the higher the quality. You might try dropping this to 2 or 3 and see what happens. That might do something for you. That last one is your blade size and offset value. You have it set to a .9mm blade, that would be the blue holder. The other...

If you were adventurous you could extract the ink from the old cartridge with a syringe and inject it back into a more recent cartridge. I extract fluid from cleaning cartridges this way all of the time. It's cheaper to buy a cleaning cartridge than a quantity of cleaning fluid. I use a 35cc...

Cutawl or band saw, in that order. Failing that, a scroll saw. A jig saw will tear the crap out of foam core and a corner rounder will crush it.

Wrong. The occasion that I invoked the Berne convention it was in small claims court and I prevailed on that basis alone. No other argument was required. Moreover 21 years might be very recent in geologic time but not as humans reckon time. As far as relying on the implicit copyright severely...

Perhaps. It depends. The only reason to give anything a name is when there is more than one and you need to be able to differentiate between the multiple iterations in the abstract. In other words, to be able to tell them apart without pointing at them. This is why we live on a planet named...

Twaddle. Actual registration with the appropriate agency is the only thing allows to you score anything more than actual damages. Moreover, merely because someone is unfamiliar with law pertinent to their situation does not make it any less the law. Why would I possibly care if someone, other...

If it's the same as the one on my Ford truck, just squirt a little orange peel along the top of it, give it a couple of minutes to penetrate, and then perform the above mentioned fishing line removal. Any residual adhesive on either the metal or the badge is quickly cleaned up with a bit more...

There is much misinformation on this subject. Your protection under current copyright law is the same whether you include some meaningless phrase or not on the work. You are the owner and operator of the copyright for all materials you created merely by virtue of the thing's existence. Tossing...

Bilious colors, bad typography, confusing and rather childish layout, and a cutesy business name. What more could anyone ask for? The one notion that you might try to run with is the 'S' into gear image. Just not that 'S' and not that gear.

I have a print coated with Clear Shield that's been on the front of my horse trailer for over six years now. It sits outside, facing south, in all manner of weather from snow to blistering heat. It appears to be no different than the day I put it on.

If you print on some media or another and the ink is wet, as in really wet, as it comes out of the printer then you probably don't want to be printing on the stuff. You should never have ink pooling, running off, or just not drying on any media suitable for whatever process you're running. As...

First thin the Clear Shield. You can thin it up to 20% per the Clear Star rep I talked to. I thin it until it's about the consistency of milk, whatever percentage that might be. Then lose the roller. You want to mop it on with a foam brush or an actual mop. You want to be just on the wet...

That would be a hortator. Knowing the nomenclature is the largest part of wisdom.

Another Ford vs. Chevy question. The both do pretty much the same thing, each in its own way. There is no 'Industry Standard'. There is only a bunch of school children who were exposed to Adobe in lieu of anything else and are fond of stridently proclaiming it to be the 'Industry Standard'...

Actually it's "She sell sea shells down by the sea shell shore." Still not all that difficult for a series of sibilants.

Blue. If you illuminated it with red light it'll be black.

Any series of bilabials or stops [i.e. B's and T's] are rather simple to say. These include baby buggy accoutrement, Peter Piper, toy boats, bugs black blood and other efforts. On the other hand, sibilants are a bitch. 'She sells sea shells' is benign when compared to 'Mrs. Smiths six sick...
