  1. Epson GS6000 Questions (DPI and Paper Sku Errors)

    1) build the file actual size and @ 72 dpi. OR in AI build it at 25% scale keeping rasters at 300dpi. 2) we always pull about 2 feet of material from the middle out then clamp on high. check your roll core. if it has taken a hit your media will skew. I've seen crushed ends, oval ends, even a...

  6. "Can you email me the file?"

    Lesson learned - don't mess with Jill's Beans. Myself I would not hassle a client about a BC design. It's just a BC design not the Mona Lisa. The client has moved on for whatever reason. The work for creating the BC should have already been charged for. at this point it's like you and your...
  7. contour cut

    depends on your artwork. if you want it cut right on the edge - no white showing - then you are stuck with all the anchor points. if you select path then offset the path it will add some white space. then you can remove some of the anchor points.

  9. flash is nearly dead

  10. Website revamp

    not crazy about the font. when i think "king" i think serifs or something a bit more regal. also not crazy about the color scheme. it has monochome b&w body but then an organic wood bg with coffee (been done) stain. at first i could not tell the icons left and right were part of a...

  18. Van Pricing, Where would you be?

    nice grenade! everyone ran. lol. $1000 is fine if using 3M180C on 3MIJ35 i would be at $750. i would offer both and explain the difference. Most client would opt for the better material. If $750 is not in his budget we go Oracal 3640G @ $500 and explain the issues he will see in about 1-2...
