  1. Font: Herman Italic

  2. Photoshop ppi and dpi ?

    If you recreate the logo (not just resample what you have now ... that wont work) at 14"x28" at 100ppi it will look good at that size. If you create your 14"x28" logo at 300ppi. it will look good at that size and up to 56"x112" (your 300ppi file is increased by 400% and final output at that size...
  3. Photoshop ppi and dpi ?

    You set your original size to 8"x10" at 100ppi. Thats the size it will look good at. It will look good increased by about 20% but bigger than that you will get a pixelated image (squares).
  4. Photoshop ppi and dpi ?

    Yeah that analogy applies when you are looking for offset printing and color separations need to be done. But for Large format Inkjet printers, RGB and CMYK objects mixed in the same file doesnt seem to cause any trouble. At least not with my setup.
  5. Photoshop ppi and dpi ?

    Please explain why? I, more often than not, do my artwork in Illustrator. Vector type and logos usually are in CMYK and any picture i want to incorporate is in RGB. I hate Illustrator CS for not allowing me to do so anymore. Regardless i use version 8 for this purpose.
  6. Photoshop ppi and dpi ?

    If you want to desing something from scratch for you car you should first know what the final size (dimension) of you print will be. Once you know the size you create a new photoshop file at that size .. then set it anywhere from 75 to 100dpi will look sharp. If you want your file anyother size...

  8. Can anyone ID this font

    Optima bold condensed. Its a wild shot at it from looking at the small thumbnail. :Big Laugh
  9. Outline cutting problem

    Your "outline" is most likely a stroke weight. This gives the appearance of a thicker line and you can give it its own color. But switch your View to Outline mode and you will see only one line to your shape, no outlines. So your creation will print ok (the outline will show) but if you want to...

  15. Rare problem with combining

    Hapened many times with me in Illustrator ... Especially converted art from Streamline. Fortunately i have found Flexi to be rock solid when compounding objects (making the inner shapes into holes). I just save my .ai file and open it in Flexi and export it back to Illustrator. Before i...
  16. DPI Question

    What a great tutorial Fred :thumb: If your sign shop goes under (God forbid) you should be a teacher. The way you explained it is exactly how i do my art preparations, but never in a million years could i explain it as comprehensible as you just did. As far as converting bitmaps to...

  18. VersaCAMM Printing Speed

    Im printing with an original Soljet ... 90% of my prints are done at Fine2(540dpi) bidirectional. I get verry minimal banding. I never get any comments from customers about banding, seems im the only one who notices it. Proper cleaning and calibration is the trick. Since my printing speed...
