  1. Matte finish print for ebay/web photo backdrop suggestions

    There are all sorts of solvent printable films designed for tradeshow booths that fit your need precisely.
  2. Impala Wrap in Detail.

    I like the concept and wrap, not crazy about the logo. It also appears your shop dog is considering how to commodify it's natural gas.
  3. Vintage stuff

    Remember to secure the intellectual property rights for resale. Many stock photos and such are not licensed for resale in their standard license agreement.
  4. How much for that HP L25500 in your sign shop?

    Sounds like you should keep your HP demo model hot no? Or at least get it hot before a consult meeting...
  5. Photoshop CS5 JPG export wrong size !!!

    Are you unchecking resample, setting the DPI, and then saving? Perhaps Flexi/Corel are just defaulting the ppi for some reason. It's kind of irrelevant as the pixel count isn't changing. Try a .tif instead (shouldn't be using .jpg anyway).
  6. Need a logo critique. Please.

    If you just wanted to update the OP original take a stronger font like Museo 700 or ChunkFive would help as would getting rid of the black strokes on the "checkerberry" leaves and using gradients to give the leaves and the berry itself volume and modernity (and a slightly more contemporary set...
  7. How much for that HP L25500 in your sign shop?

    Part of the Green claims are the HP recyclable material line, not just that there's no solvents / heavy metals. To be sure though there's not much "green" about the vinyl printing industry, especially roll to roll (so many carrier sheets, etc.).
  8. Aww (insert expletive here) - bad head strike now will not detect media.

    Happens all the time, better it snaps out of place than takes a big hit (plus it's field exchangeable).
  9. Yo......... Canadians..................

    This is totally NHB but why is it that the "right wing" is pro Free Market but get all mad when the market starts selling and accommodating to the spanish speaking populace? Isn't that just good business and free market demand and self regulation? Wouldn't a national language just be more "Big...
  10. Artistic printing question

    Nice recommendation, thanks. The seminar DVDs look interesting too.
  11. Yo......... Canadians..................

    There's no national language in America but that's probably a NHB topic. Here in Wisconsin, like our northern neighbors, the first Euro settlers were French. Many of our cities have either French or Algonquin names so Quebec has never seemed that puzzling. Frankly it's probably a great...
  12. Best vector for the $$

    Complete opposite experience. Try implementing a PDF/X-4 workflow, PDF/X-4 is completely supported in Onyx x10. Also be sure to check things like overprinting, especially CMYK on top of or below spots as that's the most common problem in any print shop.
  13. VersaSTUDIO BN-20

    Also curious if it can through-cut.
  14. Best vector for the $$

    Corel's EPS export is not great, ask your customers to export to AI and you'll have better luck. Especially if there are gradients, as gradients exported to EPS from Corel end up as clipped raster images instead of gradient filled vectors. Pain in the ass if it's something that needs to go to...
  15. VersaSTUDIO BN-20

    As an apparel guy does it bug you that there's no white ink option? Or isn't that an issue with apparel, I haven't played in that market segment at all.
  16. Illy keeps telling me no enough memory 108...

    Sounds like you were hitting the limit of the addressable memory by Illustrator, which is still just a 32bit program. A large amount of raster effects will do that.
  17. Best vector for the $$

    Ever since the Adobe CS UI overhaul (in CS4) you can build your own tools and embed them into the UI. You can even embed entire Flash or Air apps if you want to get fancy (aka how some of the newer OnOne tools are integrated). BTW to the guy above who said $1200...Illustrator CS5.5 stand alone...
  18. Artistic printing question

    Epson 9880 or Canon iPF9100, Museo MAX paper, mount behind glass. For an interesting twist print onto aluminum or steel or better yet chemical etch steel (or another metal sheeting) and ink the etch pits with black, then coat the whole thing in a liquid gloss varnish. Could also laser burn the...
  19. Exterior Lettering - You are doing it wrong, or right - I can't decide

    bob doesn't like it so I like it. Filled letterforms are super trendy in their target market too before someone comments on the fact that there are no voids.
  20. VersaSTUDIO BN-20

    Ah, now I see it hasn't officially launched yet. Bah.
