  1. Roland SP540V Printing Issue

    Try blowing some canned air on the encoder strip first.
  2. Can someone tell me what causes these lines?

    Try a different media with the same settings first of all... Same result would mean either a problem with the profile or printer, and would eliminate media. Then you could further test to determine if it is the printer or the profile...Process of elimination, one variable at a time. You can...
  3. Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw

    I use Illustrator mainly because it is most compatable with the files I recieve. I rarely recieve a file designed in ANY version of corel draw (most files are unknowingly tagged with the program that created them). Today, Adobe is leading the market in design tools and the majority of graphic...
  4. Typeface of the day....

    Looks alot like the Oregon State University athletic logo they paid big $$$ for.
  5. how do i wrap a helmet

    Practice with some vinyl printed with a grid on it, and see what happens. Learn from there?
  6. Holiday Station Store logo?

    Or, get the main headquarters contact # from the website. Call it, and ask to speek with somebody in marketing. Them them what you are doing, and explain you need a vector .EPS (or whatever) file to retain the branding integrety. Give them your email address and go have a cup of coffee. Plus...

    very clever, but weeding that white would suck.

    Or design in Illustrator if you have it, as Versaworks utiles an Adobe RIP.
  9. Photoshop to Illustrator question

    Thanks for clearing that up. Are all photoshop files raster? :)
  10. Print comes out smaller

    I believe you need to calibarate your x-step control. There is a setting on the printer and in the rip, usually adjusted by +-.001 - .005". You have basically the opposite of horizontal banding.
  11. Versaworks & Shadows from Illy

    I believe it has something to do with using the "effect" rather than "filter" for a drop shadow. I have encountered the same problem with the same hardware and software as yourself, but can't recall exactly what I did. I usually just use the process of elimination and run a few test files till...
  12. Converting Font?

    This could be it? http://www.paratype.com/fhstore/fonts/Marker.htm
  13. Photoshop question regarding color.

    Threeputt: First change your RGB working space to Adobe 1998. You also want to change your Color Management Policies all to "Convert to working...". This will convert any rgb document you open into Adobe 1998, which is the ideal profile for CMYK printing. I would also reccomend converting any...
  14. I.D. For the Day (Please)

    I think it was also released as MS Reference or something like that.
  15. Photoshop question regarding color.

    The CMYK profile US Coated Web Swap 2.0 has a gamut limited to offset printing, which is smaller than your printers gamut. The RGB profile Adobe 1998 was developed for CMYK printing (look it up if you don't believe me). The sRGB profile has a gamut limited down to look similar on most...
  16. Pdf

    I send .pdf's all day, which I create in Illustrator. However I save them so they can be printed only, and require a password to edit. This let's them print out a beautiful proof (as close as their printer can interpret pantone colors) and I usually get a phone call when anybody is trying to...
  17. 2nd Surface Prints

    I would be VERY interested in hearing a more detailed explanation of how (and with what materials) you manufacture these signs, and how they are installed. Only then can we tell you just exactly you are doing wrong. Personally, I have never printed on "clear adhesive" or backed with "paint"...
  18. Word & Excel File Problems

    I only use microsoft word "viewer" and excel "viewer" which are available for free download. Open the file in the viewer, Ctra + A to select all, Ctrl + C to copy, then switch over to a new illustrator document and Ctrl + V to paste everything in vector format.
  19. Knights of Equity logo?

    Looks good, however i would trash the black stroke./drop shadow around the gold, and add a true highlight and shadow value... If it were to be viewed up close at high res. For a biz card, you went above and beyond! Great job, I just wish my monitor was calibrated so I could tell what blue that...
  20. Large File

    I would split this into ten 4' wide by trailor height panels. Open the file in photoshop. Go to Image menu > Image size: Now resize the document size to 1000% with the "resample image" box UNCHECKED. This should give you your full image at scale with 30 Ppi. Now you want to use the ruler ( Ctrl...
