i get to do them regularly and don't care too much for them. they are tricky to do (even with experience). i found this site had some good tutorial videos, they make it look easy. http://www.autotrimdesign.net/content.jsp?pageCode=Install-Video these are one of the few i do wet. soak the...

in Onyx PreFlight>Color Managment>Change Profiles>Profiles>(CMYK or RGB) select the ICC Pure Hues icon to ensure pure hues of x color are rendered without any color correction. i use a CMYK workflow and want my 100% black to always be 100% black, i check the black pure hue checkbox and my ICC...

x10 has the same issues with illustrator special effects as it has since illy added the raster special effects (v10). it is due to the fact the effects are rasterized images on top of the vector elements. when the vector elements are spot colors (CMYK colors are not as affected) Onyx Spot...

GAC05 is correct, check your RIP render intents to match for vector and raster (i use perceptual/perceptual). also remove any RIP spot color replacement/similar to converting spot colors to CMYK as mentioned. some spot color replacements will boost only the vector background colors and...

have you turned off "Spot Color Replacement" in the Onyx Preflight? (preview & size>properties>postscript>uncheck "use color table") with gradient PMS blends i choose to convert the spot PMS to CMYK values, it lends smoother transitions between colors (no gray/light fade out). i try to avoid...

the placed files appear as masked items. CS4 doesn't display the contents of a mask (that i can tell). curious to see if anyone else knows.

i found these handy install videos after the 1st set i had to install. i hope it helps.

Todd, there is a slight curve to the outer edges to keep a straight line look. the stripes taper from over the hood scoop down to a much narrower size at the bottom of the ground kit. the center gap stays consistant, as do the 1/4" pinstripe on the outside lines.

i have i installed this one about 3 weeks ago. very nice SS. he wanted custom rally style all the way down the front. the rear is trunk deck lid over spoiler to just above the taillights (no roof). the bumpers and spoilers do flare in/out so a straight stripe does not work. these are all in...

thanks for the special, TonyT :)

Big IF... if the original artist built the photoshop file with imported vector art as a "smart object" from Illustrator, you can double-click the Vector Smart Object file layer and it will open in Illy. Edit and save as new name at will. otherwise, i have found exporting paths from PSD to...

correct, the 380 is slightly more expensive.

kind of. the 180-Comply-version 3 is the new "comply" that will replace original c and v2. you still will use 8518-19-20 (gloss/lustre/matte) laminates as the matched component. the 380-comply-version 3 is a new product with a more aggressive adhesive and is built for heated stretching on...

ripjr is on the right path, somewhat. here are 2 steps i have found to be very effective for Onyx Postershop/ProductionHouse: 1. the problem is the RIP is seeing 2 different colorspace rendering intents for the illy effects, which are rasterized from original vector artwork. in my RIP...

thats what i'm thinking. thanks for all the help, i'll use some of the fonts listed and see if i can make it work.

thanks Shovelhead, it's close but not exact

it is the old GL diamond. i need to create some new parts with the old typestyle. the new eurostyle and comm script parts are not an issue, but this one has got me.

it looks like a Cheltenham Ex Bold Cond "G", Bookman style "L" and "E" (minus the center stroke), the curved straight leg of the "R" is throwing me off. any thoughts?

your monitor output is at 75ppi so if you scale your image in photoshop view to match the output size, you'll be looking at the actual output resolution.

you need a secondary internal hard drive. look at the +200gb range, they are cheap (around $80) and very easy to install. i like tigerdirect.com for low prices, but your local bestbuy or compusa should have resonable prices too. your "tech guy" can guide you on getting you the correct hard...
