  1. Gradation of Two colors on a font?

    What's your output device? Is it a digital printer? Or are you making two plates/screens for spot-colour printing? It matters

    Johnny, Johnny, Johnny... what is the name of the thread you found this post in... ? Would it have helped if I had typed that in Steven Wright's voice?

  5. Leaving ink in a UV printer turned off

    Ink was definitely not water-based in the two UV printers that we've had (Colorspan / Gerber Ion). I always had a pouch or box of flush around for when a head or two or all needed flushing.
  6. Leaving ink in a UV printer turned off

    There is also the need to keep the ink in the head reservoirs from draining out -- thus the need for power to maintain a certain level of vacuum. If no power, no vacuum, heads drain out, leaving only traces of ink to dry in the nozzles.
  7. Joke

    This is something that happened at an assisted living center. The people who lived there have small apartments but they all eat at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She...

  12. Corel to PDF issues...

    Well, I guess the issue here is what constitutes "breaking" the spec. To me, breaking the spec would could mean something like replacing elements of the spec. For instance, if a vendor began using the FooFoo Coordinate system to define shapes instead of the current coordinate system -- that...
  13. Corel to PDF issues...

    I would not say Corel is 'broken' if it allows a size larger than Adobe is currently willing to support. After all, other PDF viewers (as already mentioned) and editors allow the same transgression of the size limits that Adobe holds to. Adobe effectively gave up control of the PDF 'standard'...
  14. Corel to PDF issues...

    Not really a limit with PDFs in general and obviously not with Corel -- it's an Adobe display limit. Corel can produce PDFs over this size that other viewers have no problems with (such as Foxit, as mentioned). Regardless, most printers worth their salt should be able to process a file given at...
  15. Corel to PDF issues...

    The limitation is in the Adobe PDF display software you are probably using. There is a certain size of layout that Adobe products won't display (204" is definitely up there) even though the PDF is a valid one. Other PDF viewers such as Foxit (Free reader) will likely display your PDF just fine...
  16. Joke

    Earl walked into a drug store in Kentucky and asked to talk to a male pharmacist. The woman he was talking to said that she was the only pharmacist and as she and her sister owned the store, there were no male employees. She then asked if she could help him. Earl said that it was something that...
  17. How do you work with the limited art board size?

    Example: recently did a 32-page full-colour, full-bleed brochure with multi-column text flowing from one page to another, wrapping around objects, etc. CD supports text styles and paragraph styles, tabs (left, centre, right), indents, "out"dents, before/after paragraph spacing, line spacing...

    Microfibre is pretty much microfibre... Just go to a Walmart or whatever and get a bundle of microfibre cloths... But curious... are you getting speckling on any other type of medium? Or is it just the translucent vinyl?
