  1. Is this a specific effect?

    If you are using illustrator, you can do this a couple different ways. In either option you will most likely need to draw and arrange the circles ahead of time (imagine them drawn as if they aren't warped.) Once you do that, using the same number of circles as shown in your example you can...
  2. My new Logo/Company name

    Looks, great - just need to add a ladder.
  3. Mid Range Flatbed Options

    When looking at samples quality of output can be very misleading, because any printer will look good when printing in their quality modes/speeds. You also need to know what speeds those samples were printed at, along with how flexible are their inks? What happens when various substrates are...
  4. Mid Range Flatbed Options

    We have the big bed on our oce, and we find a true flatbed is actually a lot faster in loading than our FB's for a couple reasons. We actually timed how long it took our FB to load a sheet, find margins, let the camera do it's thing, adjust head height etc and it turned out to be fairly...
  5. Artwork Release fee

    I think this pretty much sums up my opinion on this issue. This subject comes up often, and I've always tried hard to understand both points of view. Having been on the design only end of things for close to 20 years, I have never personally nor has anyone I know in my industry or network of...
  6. Illustrator cs 6 help

    Hmmm, how big is your art and how big is the artboard? Oftentimes if anything is past the edges of the artboard it won't let you do any kind of scaling. You may need to build your art @ 50% size and then print or output your final PDF @ 200%. Another option would be to have your artboard...
  7. Mid Range Flatbed Options

    Our Oce is definitely faster. Quality level on both is comparable, but the HP has to print really slow to compare to what the Oce can do at much faster speeds. Obviously we were happy with the redundancy of our FBs, we bought 3! Our initial thinking was we could just about buy 2 FB700s for the...

    Greetings! Forge Graphic Works in Portland, Oregon is looking to hire a leader for our 6 person project management team. We have posted the ad locally to Craigslist as well as linkedin. Please click either post below for a complete job description...
  9. Mid Range Flatbed Options

    We were absolutely in your shoes about 2 years ago. We started out with an FB700 and a latex 800, then found ourselves looking to step up to the next level flatbed machine. After much debate, discussions, research (much of which was done here on 101) we decided to get another FB700 for a few...
  10. Thanksgiving weekend project dun!!!!

    nice work, sure doesn't seem very deep though.
  11. Revamp this logo without changing the look

    Hmmm, there's something I actually kinda dig about it...has a bit of a retro, campy feel to me. I probably wouldn't change it. I do hate brush script, but even w/that I probably wouldn't change it.
  12. Illustrator CutContour creating a white outline on prints

    A simple fix would be to have your cut contour spot color built to 0/0/0/0 and set to overprint, it will never print that way no matter what.
  13. Sci Fi Logo

    Wow, Joe. Really cool to see the progression, and as others have said very impressive to see such a different style from ya. I definitely like where it's going, and you've made some great refinements such as toning down the embellishments on the type and refining the pose. Something to think...
  14. Onyx Production House VS. Caldera

    Caldera. PS:Do a search.
  15. Caldera RIP - Recommended Hardware to run it?

    we have 5 large format printers, all our rips run on mac minis. We tried hard to make linux work, but with no one in the shop being able to troubleshoot network issues it became more of a hassle than it's worth.
  16. Sign is finally up!

    Nice, but - are you sure your entrance has enough logos? ;)
  17. Critique my Vehicle Wrap

    Here's ours.
  18. FUJI flat bed - plexi ink peeling problem

    Most likely the ink. We just bought an oce and we had to choose between 3 inks. I forget the series numbers, but there is one ultra high gamut, one medium gamut/better adhesion, and one lower gamut w/ high adhesion & flexibility. Maybe try a different ink if you guys are printing lots of...
