The clearstar is the best by far and I have tried out everything mentioned here. You can roll it on fairly well. Find the best foam roller you can get. The less porous the foam (smaller holes) the better. Spraying it can be a nightmare if you don't have a proper booth for it, but at least it...

There's only so far you can push it (it needs to use that black eventually). Let us know how it worked out.

If you can edit your profiles remove some of the GCR (grey component replacement). This will use more cmy than black to make up neutrals and darker colors. If you don't create (or at least linearize) your own profiles this will cause your neutrals to shift more easily so be forewarned. A lot...

More RAM is the first upgrade you'll need. Consider it a priority. A striped RAID scratch disk will double (or more, depending on the # of disks) the speed when it needs to use the hard drive for more.

Search "you suck at photoshop" on youtube. Funny stuff!

I don't think you can tile something like this. You can tile the scales for sure, but the coloring needs to fade from top to bottom of the boat like the way a fish does . Here's a link to a pdf document with some taxidermist's painting instructions. Laying this fade over a tile of some scales...

Have to agree with OldPaint here. It's a triangle and a circle for crying out loud.

I should add that it's possible to fudge the printer's gamut shape using the individual ink channel limits. If you want brighter greens you can always create a special profile and ink limit set-up that robs from the magenta channel and rewards the yellow and cyan channel's with more ink. You'll...

LcLm give a very modest boost to the overall gamut. They are there essentially to smooth the highlight areas for up close viewing. The pale colored inks produce a less intense dot that's not as visible to the eye. If smoothness is not essential, adding an OG to the mix will boost your gamut...

I have both a thick and thin marker font. It is available outside of a gerber package. Don't ask me where I got it from. I have no idea. You also might find something _very_ similar in house industries sign painter collection.

Do what I do, wait until they release the new machines (or sometimes just before, when they're blowing out old stock) and buy the refurbished model a version behind. I'd rather spend the extra dough on RAM and RAID drives than processors and motherboards. They're all so damn fast these days you...

It wouldn't open for me in illustrator (CS3) either. Told me to place it instead. Once I did that and saved it as a pdf it opened fine in photoshop. Oddly enough opening the file directly in photoshop produced a blank file. There is nothing in there as far as vectors are concerned. Everything...

Definitely a custom creation according to my font library

Could be Eurostile Bold Extended, then condensed. Or Micro Extended FLF, or Microgramma, or square721. I can't seem to find any differences between them. Any of them should work.

Adobe wrote postscript. Illustrator files are essentially postscript files. Corel files need to be saved as eps (encapsulated postscript) to work right. FWIW, in the 18 years I've worked with vector files I've had far fewer issues with illustrator than corel. Plus the fonts that come with...

Look on the web for hacks on the point and click models. In a ton of cases the higher iso settings, raw files and resolution increases are possible. The cameras are capable of more, but the manufacturers throttle them back.

Opentype supports optical kerning. Postscript and truetype do not.

LassigueDMato See attached pic.

Open type has far superior kerning. OpenType has all the benefits of truetype and postscript formats plus additional features that neither has. Such as the ability to use auto ligatures, etc. It's also completely cross platform. Same disk/file for both mac and PC platforms. No freaky...

The colorburst rip you can get from epson is OK. The version you get from colorburst directly is much better and more flexible.
