Why not print the .pdfs if they work? I'm thinking it's a setting that must have been changed in CorelDRAW for .eps files (it's not creating outlines out of the spot colour strokes or something, is it? Like, did a box get checked that wasn't supposed to wheile saving?)

Yeah totally agree here - we tend to let almost all our cut graphics outgas at least 12, preferably 24 hours, sometimes over a weekend with some media (looking at you, Avery 2611) or we risk that dreaded edge-curl. Especially with a black. It's too bad this model doesn't have a platen on the...

To be clear, I do not ever treat any business as "lesser than". What I mean is that we get clients who come in with a logo that their cousin made for them for 50 bucks, no brand guidelines, no vectors, and I'm not going to change a thing unless they request it. "Does it matter to a client?" I'm...

I think it depends on context for each project. If it's a short term sign for a nobody business, it probably doesn't matter. And it shows when people don't care, they come in with fonts like this with weird effects on them. But if it's like a large brand, consistency is pretty important. You can...

Yeah I find "What The Font" the best for uploading, though Identifont is also really handy because of the "similar" list it provides.

Tell them to go kern themselves

Come to Canada! Our healthcare is free* *unless it's dental, mental health, most medications...

AH I found it manually by digging through DaFont. It's Almanar, in case anyone ever wants it (nobody will, it's ugly)

I put it through What The Font (And font squirrel's Matcherator) and it can't find it because of whatever stupid effect is on it.

Someone has put a offset path around it (I guess?) and can't find it through Identifont. It looks so so familiar, like some pre-load Windows XP font, but I am just not finding it

I don't know much about their system, but I'm pretty sure there are different rules/process in each state (unlike ours, which is the same process everywhere). Which honestly makes my mind boggle - it must be very challenging to get a consistent count overall

Up here in Canada I'm tempted to take a day off just to pop some popcorn and watch..

Yeah we hit this error quite often, actually - mostly with larger companies. Must be this font, this height, on this size sign... and then we have to go back and show them that they'll have to change at least one of those things. Or try condensed font

Wait, when you say "never figured it out", do you mean they just had to suck it up with text on it? 'Cause I like this method and I'm going to use it the next time someone brings crap graphics.

Hey crew, we've been asked a few times about ordering in Inozotek vinyl for a vehicle wrap, but we can't find too much info about it online aside from a few reviews about the gloss finish and colours. We're in Canada so it's foolish expensive to get, and we don't do a lot of full wraps like...

I think it was a client request. We've never used it before or since, I think they had googled "floor vinyl" and pointed their finger at the first one. It's cal, but we found it surprisingly conformable to a tile floor.

We used an 3M IJ160 with a thick textured ("non-slip" I think) laminate for a large wall/floor graphic that was like, wood and organic textures, and it was a decent product: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Controltac-Graphic-Film-IJ160/?N=5002385+3293953765&rt=rud...

Sometimes our RIP misses things, but it's usually transparencies or the like. It's at 100% opacity when saving, right? (not that it should matter with a .bmp...)

I hate foamboard so much. We generally try and encourage people to go PVC/sintra. Uh sorry, are you applying vinyl to substrate with the laminator, or laminating that's causing the issue? I think I misunderstand

We tend to play it by ear, honestly. We've certainly shot ourselves in the foot by doing a really fast turnaround for a client on a slow day, only for them to come back expecting similar timelines when we're busier. Oops. We don't have a set percentage, but I agree - these rush jobs seem to be...
