No, pro. Not sure why you'd go with Home over Pro. Also having now been using Win7-64 bit for a while and seeing first hand how well older 32bit programs run on it, I don't see a need for the XP compatibility mode, unless you have some really old or off the wall/unsupported programs. If it...

Chris, I upgraded my design station from XP to Win 7 Pro 64 bit. It's rock solid stable, much much more so than any of our other XP machines and leaps and bounds more stable than our single Vista computer. The only other thing I did was add an additional 4GB of ram for a total of 8, and upgraded...

Good point circleville!

Grimco has them up to 15"

OK, the raster settings are just for the raster effects like your drop shadows. 150dpi is fine for a drop shadow, you can probably get away with even less than that, maybe 100dpi. If you sending something to a printing company for small-format output (offset) 300dpi is ideal, but again, anything...

Wait, you're in Illustrator? Are you importing raster images into Illustrator or are you working entirely with vector objects? FYI 150 dpi is fine for anything at any size. Anything over 150 is overkill for wide format output.

Not really, they're actually sectioning off part of their RAM for the scratch disk. I suggested having a seperate standalone (well internal) harddrive for nothing but scratch disk space for Photoshop. Using the RAM for scratch space will indeed be leaps and bounds faster, but you have to have a...

It's a #2 square bit. Removing the screws is a pain but makes for a much easier installation and a longer lasting wrap. If you're really up for a challenge, paint the screws so they blend in with the wrap...

What he said... plus matte indoors means less glare under harsher inside lighting.

If it continues call a city inspector and get them there while it's happening. They can put a stop to it.

Someone pleeeeease post pictures of the snow. I'm bummed all we're getting is a crapload of rain. It's halfway through december and I've not seen a single snowflake yet... At least let me be jealous of someone else's fun.

Gloss for outdoor stuff, matte for indoor.

Yes and no, if your drop position is calibrated perfectly, which it should be anyway, you should be able to print very small text in bidir.. We've printed as small as 4pt at 8 pass high speed bidir. with no blurriness. Unidir helps a little as the drop position doesn't have to be quite as...

3/16" and it's fuzzy?? Not a file issue, calibrate your drop position.

need to do a drop position calibration probably. Unless you're printing something like 2 pt... Also try resaving the file as a .tiff instead of a .jpg, or try a vector format like an .eps. If all is good with the file, I still suspect the drop pos.. For small text it has to be dead on or your...

Wow, somebody likes their video games... Looks cool though!

I agree with choucove, I'd go with the Intel i7 860. Since you're building a computer from scratch, I'd throw at least 8gb of RAM in there, and go with Windows 7 64 bit. 32 bit OS and programs will be fading away soon, take advantage of new and much better technology now. You'll be limited with...

Lucky bastard. We're just getting an inch of rain tomorrow... What I wouldn't give for a foot of snow... I have a rule, if there's snow on the ground I don't come to work, I go play in it. Alot of the time we'll shut down shop early too and take the employees sledding or something fun.

clean it very carefully... I use just a drop or two of alcohol on a LINT FREE cloth, gently wipe it and that's it. Don't soak it, don't rub it too hard. You just want to get the debris off of it.

The strip has lines etched in it, there is an "eye" on the print head that reads the lines so it knows exactly where it's at left-to-right, and it bases the location and timing of the ink drops based on this. If the encoder is dirty, the print head gets confused and doesn't know it's exact...
