Decision as to rightness isn't necessary. As noted, everyone would just naturally do the right thing. Which of course leads to the perplexing question: Is it right because you do it or do you do it because it's right? If the former, how will you know if it's right. If the latter, how do you know...

Being a rational anarchist I try to march to my own drummer. If I obey a law it's most likely not because it's the law but because it's what I would have done anyway. I have my own view of the curious notion of 'intellectual property' and it bears only a passing resemblance to the miserably...

Saying it and doing it are two entirely different things. How many times has this particular situation been successfully prosecuted? How many time has it been prosecuted regardless of outcome? Zero and zero would be my guess. This warning gives every appearance of being an example of...

Most likely a piece of lint or something on the head? Failing that perhaps you might try cleaning the encoder strip. I sometimes get the same sort of thing with cyan and cleaning the encoder strip tidies it up nicely.

I assume you mean to do some sort of contour cutting. In Flexi Pro v7 and up there are two ways... 1. Select the object to be contour cut then do Effects->Contour 2. Create a path that you want to cut, select that path, and do Arrange->Contour->Make Contour Cut. There is a third way as...

Something happened to your EPS import filter. See if Flexi lets you just re-install that selected piece or, failing that, re-install the whole package.

It has nothing to do with wheels. It has to do with common sense. There's no such thing as printing a full bleed. What then would you do about the ink building up off the media and on the platen? Or the blanket? Or the table? [depending on just how you might be printing] Doing a full...

Try calling and leaving a message that you want to buy something. See how fast someone returns your call.

In the first place, it's not your work, it belongs to the client that paid for it. Secondly, making signs has nothing whatsoever to do with art or ancient systems of patronage. Patronage being the only way art survived 'back then'. Signs are a commodity, not art. Making signs requires mere...

Alien Skin Snap Art is way ahead of whatever's in 2nd place. I've been making a tidy sum lately running both stock photos and peoples favorite pictures through this plug-in, printing the result on canvas, and doing a gallery wrap on stretcher frames. This plug-in integrates characteristics for...

Depends. What are your rendering intents? The best way to go probably is vector but set your rendering intent to either 'No Color Correction', 'Spot' or, second choice, 'Saturation". Or, best of all, turn off your color correction altogether. If you're absolutely stuck with a bitmap use a...

A PDF is merely a container for a collection of objects, not a file where the content is the thing itself like a jpg. That being the case you want to make sure that only those objects you absolutely need are stored in the file as compactly as possible. Start with text. Normally the entire...

Some prospective client or another stumbling upon this site and being privy to someone's prices and those prices reflected badly on my own would put the 'O' into obscure. Even in that unlikely event, what would I possibly care? When anyone tells me that "They can get it cheaper down the...

What dpi are you printing? You want to print at a resolution at least 4 times the ppi of the image. For 720dpi a 150 ppi image is about optimum. There isn't a human being on the planet that can discern pixelization at 150 ppi without instruments. The reason to print at 4* image resolution is...

Score a copy of the clip-art from Corel 7.It has an extensive collection of notables in both caricature and cartoon. This package is quite old but someone somewhere must have a copy they'd part with.

Too neat? Your concept of neat and my own vary considerably. For openers, there are three 'E's, each one different. There's a bunch of other clues as well. Obviously hand painted. And just as obvious, by an amateur.

When you invoke Effects->Contour Cut on of the options on the Design Central dialog is "Holes". Check this box and the inside of your 'O' will be cut as well. Checking 'Holes' will make any area outside of the object[s] selected subject to a contour cut. 'Outside' being defined as drawing a...

Sure you can. There's a few proprietary packages available that will enlarge without pixelization. I use Photozoom and there's a few others as well. None of them will make a crappy image any less crappy but there will be no pixelization. None, nada, zero.

If you have to convert a gradient to a bitmap you're doing something wrong. In Flexi in the Production Manager be sure and use either 'Enhanced' or 'Super' as your Smooth Blends selection. If you use 'Normal' you'll get all kinds of weirdness, especially if you have a gradient that goes to...

You can import the object with the gradient you're trying to duplicate right along side the object you're trying to create with the duplicate gradient. Select the new object and use the eyedropper tool and click anywhere in the gradient you imported. This will reproduce that gradient in the new...
