Normally I would agree with you on this but there is no love lost with these guys. They hire people probably for the absolute lowest wage they can get away with and the old saying you get what you pay for is true. The turnover there is pretty high and for obvious reasons. The owner knows what he...

not so.... you would think that but with a lot of their custom cut sizes they have them pre cut in metric which is slightly off from imperial. They don't bother telling you that over the phone though until it is to late, and thats why I requested it that way.

you know exactly how they are too....good. I called pro veer and they have the aluminum and they have rounded corners for less than YMS.

So I call my regular aluminum blank supplier (YMS) this morning to order 20 pieces of 12" x 24" 051 aluminum and as usual the woman on the order desk is her usual unfriendly self (they seem to hire foreigners with no personalty). I tell her that I need to order 20 pieces of 051 aluminum 12" x...

Now that winter is upon us and the heat is on the static issue arises. I find I can clean a surface as best as possible and even with lint free cloths but if your putting down digital printed masses of vinyl (even small 12 x 18 stuff) afterwards it always seems that foreign materials have...

well I'm in Canada and we have to spell centre like this C E N T R E wtf!!! Color is spelt C o l o u r. You probably think I cant spell color because when I type in here I keep jumping back and forth from the US version to the English version. Theres a bunch more words that are spelt...

Do you ever get a little confused with the spelling on the simplist of words, or question the spelling would be more appropriate. Sometimes I am typesetting and then when I am looking over the proof I stop on a word and it's like I have never seen it before and I question it's spelling. The word...

I have heard mine doing it the very odd time. I run alcohol over the rails once a week and re oil, so I think it may be a vibration causing mine.

I will try that next

ok I tried. I went into illustrator and made a box in pantone 293c and saved it first as an eps file then as a tiff cmyk then a tiff rgb, then a jpg cmyk and lastly a jpg rgb the eps file was dead on naturally, all the bitmaps were the lighter version except the cmyk jpg, which although it was...

I will give it a try thanks Pro!!

it's weird!!! I understand what you mean but your printer, prints in cmyk. well I tried the ol export as a tiff and bring it back in and its the same color. Thats good, but when it comes out of illustrator the colours somehow change as a bitmap. What can I suggest the tiff file be saved as...

I think the same issue will happen whereby when converted to cmyk to create the jpg the color gets much lighter.

OK you are probably correct in some respects but as to this particular file profiling is not the problem. The problem is that I do not have a way to work backwards with a bitmap. Flexi may be the problem that it cant convert the translucency mixed with the shadow created but I dont think it is...

UPDATE: I threw my hands up in the air and called my client , explained the 3 options we have at this point. 1) print it as a bitmap file with the lighter blue. ( not a good option as we print other retractables and I dont want his client wanting to know why the color keeps changing 2) Print...

Just out of curiosity......why the hell do designers set the files up like this to beigin with? I would think most files have to be printed so is this not going to be a problem for everyone dealing with it. Why can't the shadow be part of the bitmap? makes sense to me but then I am just a dumb...

I would love to keep it as an eps but the shadow built around the bitmap comes in like a big light blue square andif I try a pdf file it comes in as a black square. I need to start printing so I am just going to have to print the lighter blue and hope no one notices

I really do not think this is a profile issue. He saved the file as a spot 287 and sent it to me as an eps file. It opens and outside of this shadow problem the colour is perfect. He then saved it as a tiff and the blue gets a heck of a lot lighter so its not the profile but how the color...

I constantly run into color problems with high end customers. Here is my dilemma on this current job. The file is set up in indesign. I have an inhouse designer who then resets it up the way I need it for flexi, then I print it. In most cases I want vector files because I need to match spot...

when you say "would not" what actually happened? what was the outcome?
