  1. Gallery Wrap Canvas Print

    Why would you design a white border into something you were gallery wrapping?
  2. Need some help with this

    Your host is restricting script type based on user agent or something? Weird, even weirder since the above script is just php, what kind of host doesn't support php (the sheer size of the above script is suspicious to me though)? You could probably throw up a request for a jscript that does this...
  3. Need some help with this

    I think you're confusing Google Analytics with the Google Pagerank spider but okay (I didn't mention anything about bot crawling). I assume then you'll be locking out the spiders with robots.txt? If it's only for mobile phones why not develop it as an app instead of as a website? I can just...
  4. Website updated. Need advice/critique fresh eyes......

    Your on-page SEO needs a lot of work. No alt or title tags anywhere, no use of H tags, meta description is poor, canonical isn't declared, etc. and that's just bare bone basics. Not to mention the impact that has on accessibility, which is maybe even more important. Also looks like you're using...
  5. Need some help with this

    This is extremely easy with Google Analytics, if you aren't running analytics (from one vendor or another, Google is most common) on your website you're doing the web wrong. You don't want to notify the dude every time someone hits his site but you can give him exact numbers including...
  6. Can a 7800 printer use eco-solvent inks?

    Sell it and buy a GS6000.
  7. T-Shirt Art - WIP

    Conceptually works but the execution is a bit busy. Simplify it down a bit, the eye doesn't know where to look or rest. Get rid of the antenna for starters and some of the strokes on the logo text itself are a bit hard to read (especially the yellow on white on black).
  8. Duh? Does this pattern have a certain name?

    Garment industry needs to stop using Quark already! :scream: Super easy to make in Illustrator, learning how to make patterns is pretty crucial in this industry.
  9. Mimaki CG-FX II User Question

    Friction cutters will never have the same tolerances as sprocket cutters. Decal market you'd be better off going old school with a Gerber Edge, EnVision and Composer 4. Do what bmw_ante suggested and make sure you're calibrated to square. If you are you could try dropping your cut speed down as...
  10. Where can I buy an alignment scope?

    Was kind of looking for one with the measurements so you can see if you're within tolerance quickly but those are great suggestions. I'll hit Radio Shack and see if they still stock anything other than resold cell phone plans anymore. :banghead:
  11. Where can I buy an alignment scope?

    Short question: we do a lot of our own maintenance on our JV3, including fine adjustments, and I'm tired of trying to see the lines with a loop. Does anyone know where I can buy the scope the techs use?
  12. Dual Monitor Help

    Anyone running multiple monitors on Windows should check out Ultramon http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/ Also if you're in the graphics business and don't have calibrated monitors, shame on you. It's only a couple hundred bucks for a Spyder. Of course that only goes so far if you cheap out...
  13. controltac on a steel building

    Make sure you're applying enough pressure during install to activate adhesion.
  14. Business card layout

    Use Save for Web to make...wait for it...images for the web (posting here).
  15. It's only gonna get tougher

    Logos are just the end result, design is the process. Good clients realize that and pay for the process. Bad clients don't and pay for the logo. You choose which you'd rather compete for. As most of this forum is "sign shops" with an emphasis on products not design agencies, yes, most of this...
  16. Logo Critique

    The e is violating the integrity of the g and that conceptually bugs me. Are you designing a logomark or is this logotype the only logo? What happens when they need to use a mark in a small space like a social media avatar?
  17. .eps files in composer

    We save .eps files down to Illustrator version 8 for import to Composer, works well.
  18. poster profile

    Your manufacturer should have profiles available on their website. Install those, then calibrate them with an i1 or whatever you use for media calibration.
  19. First Printer option?

    You need lam on solvent as well for durability/longevity. You can skip it on one-season yard signs, banners (obviously), etc. but for vehicle wraps and such laminate is a requirement.
  20. The "B" Word...

    Hire a CPA. You must still be a sole proprietor?
