    what a lying sack of %^%$. Print it, he paid cash, theres no paper trail.
  2. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    the values were pretty dead on to my pantone chart and it did indeed print a blue similar to the cmyk valued swatch, but they want the deeper richer blue of the actual pantone colour.
  3. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    thanks insignia, I am going to just get her to send me the indesign file. I have found that flattened tiff files are a challenge when dealing with large areas of spot colours. I will have the designer here change the colours to what I know I can print.
  4. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    I agree with you but changing the main spot colour is not the problem for me. it would be changing every step of the gradient as well. I dont think I can isolate everything and then the gradient recreates itself based on the data. Maybe I need the original file to accomplish that.., but like I...
  5. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    its pantone 289. Bridge chart shows it as a washed out light navy colour.
  6. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    For the sake of one retractable it almost seems like a lost cause. After all is said and done, I better see more work from this division mof the bank.
  7. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    it will still print the cmyk version of a colour that does not want to be printed in cmyk lol. I have to admit the print did look good it's just that the original blue probably pantone probably has some translucent inks to create the colour
  8. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    The problem for me is that there is a gradient of gold that slowly turns to blue and thats is why I cant really control every gradient. She has to do it on her end, or I have to reset the entire file up. Plus there is a large gradient of Blue that gets darker and lighter throughout. What...
  9. I need to explain to a designer why we have trouble with certain colours

    I have a client, who's client is a large bank. I have done work for them in the past, but I was requested to do this one retractable banner for an inside branch of the bank which uses a darker blue than their normal colour and even if I found a match on my color charts I have we still could not...
  10. to my Canadian Colleagues and supply pricing

    I know it is annoying, but maybe slowly over time they will bring them up. I would love to see 3M vinyls become a main stay item, then we could have a little competition around here.
  11. to my Canadian Colleagues and supply pricing

    Well nice to know there are a few honest suppliers out there. They are in St Mariys...correct?
  12. to my Canadian Colleagues and supply pricing

    We all see how strong the Canadian dollar has become in the last couple of months. I am wondering if like me you have not seen any price decreases for supplies. I have asked a few suppliers why when the dollar dropped 6 or 8 months ago they wasted no time in raising all our prices across the...

  16. How to clean up clip art for cutting?

    I have the 600,000 clipart collection and as rare as I use it I usually find I have to spend a bit of time to make them workable in vinyl cutting. Printing however they are not bad but you will also find some strange stuff going on. Out of curiosity, as I am not a designer per say that uses...
  17. Nuke the Fax?

    I still have a dedicated line for faxes, but it also serves as a third phone line for out calling, so for the $25 per month it is worth it. There are still a lot of people who are not computer savy and we still recieve orders. Not a lot mind you.
  18. Contour Cutting TWICE??

    I have that happening on the odd illustrator conversion to eps. It really blows cause you never know its there until it's to late. The only software I have found that seems to detect it is Omega when printing on the edge as the letters or fills simply disapear on the screen.
