Perhaps you and Mssr. Doggett could attend the same remedial physics class. Color is light. Light at some wavelength or in some spectrum exists whether or not you can perceive it. Just as a silent dog whistle emits a sound regardless of whether you hear it. Your dog hears it. Since color...

Hand lettered, and not too well at that. The 'n's are different.

An oft-times successful tactic to get an actual human on the phone is to press '0' [zero] as a response to every prompt, even prompts that announce that you have entered in improper response. About 90% of the time the system gives up and connects you to living breathing person. The other 10% it...

Take a hint from an advertising genius of long ago. A charity had an ad campaign to help solicit funds for its work. All of the pictures they used showed crying weeping children. The campaign was a dismal failure. They were advised to replace the crying sniveling children with smiling happy...

Being the purveyors of the #1 boiled dinner is much like being proclaimed the world's largest midget.

You cannot reliably match some specified color or another in any abstract manner. It's highly unlikely that anyone can give you a quartet of CMYK values that will work in your environment. You have to print whatever spectrum you can print on your equipment in your environment on the prospective...

Both of them suck, each it its own way. The one on the right, the ice cream parlor looking thing with the comic book type faces, is just a sign not a corporate symbol. It's just wrong. The one on the left is demonstrates mediocre to poor typography with the overall look of something...

In the sense that anything is possible, there probably is a way to do this but why would you want to? Even if you get it to work you'll have minimal control over your plotter relative to what you could have with proper software. There's lots of comprehensive plotter interfaces available for...

Perhaps if I type slowly you'll be able to follow along. In your example, in the dark the walls are black. The will only be blue when light of the proper spectrum is played on them. If the light is somehow missing the blue component of the spectrum, they will still be black. You see the light...

Physics isn't your long suit, eh? Color IS light. No light, no color. That is why something is different colors under light of different spectra. It's not that it appears to be that color, it IS that color. If Helen Keller tripped and fell in the forest would there be a sound? Apropos of...

Here's a 30 second really rough sample.

You can do much the same thing with horizontal or vertical, or any other direction, lines of varying thickness and it becomes a whole hell of a lot easier to weed. Flexi even has a tool for it. This technique predates the halftone and photography in general.

If the marks are being read properly for the contour cut pass, it shouldn't matter how the print might be distorted. As long as that distortion is linear. The purpose of the registration marks is not merely to find a starting point. The larger purpose for the marks, and why you should always use...

If you have to pick one of these, the right one. But the silhouette animals aren't working with the dimensional copy and just what is that bird doing to that dog?

Not just a bitmap, any object or group can be the subject of a power clip.

I have a Mutoh 1204, the same thing as your prospective PrismJet, It's my second 48" printer. I agonized over a 54" vice the 48" but I've never, as in ever, needed anything larger than 48. ~70% of my jobs are banners and maybe 10% of those are 48". The rest are 36" or less. Virtually all of the...

Just as a good bumper sticker should sum up your philosophy and at the same time cause anyone who reads it to question everything in which they believe, a good song lyric should do much the same. So as counterpoint to the "Stupid Song Lyrics..." thread, I offer this... A couple, for...

L-seven? I always thought the line went "...Let that be a lesson, come and learn to dance." Who really knows, all of these guys sound like shit salesmen with their mouths full of samples.

There's always the inimitable "pompitous of love" ['The Joker', Steve Miller] that no one on the planet understands.

Script on an arc? Generally copy in script is not done in an arc but one notable exception to this is a casual descriptor or superlative. Often but not necessarily a single word. Words like 'Special', 'Quality', 'Contact', 'Available', 'Coming Soon', etc are often done as a splash on a curve...
