Might I add that it's a good idea to convert fonts when making the pdf. As long as your design isn't "text heavy" converting them will ensure no problems. Don't even try and tell me about embedding the fonts! I've gotten many pdf's that even If choosing import as curves the text is "scrambled"...

examples without templates

Ask the customer to photograph the side and back as straight on as possible. Email the photos with a size reference i.e. door width etc. Scale the photo accordingly and base measurements off that.

I still can't find any reason to use templates. Photos have worked great for the 15 years I've been with this company. Live and learn though

Make sure the pinch rollers are all set either the same pressure or the outermost set to high and the inner 2 set to low.

Are you designing at full scale? If so, 300dpi is overkill. All your images should remain at whatever dpi they "stretch" out to be i.e. you may start with an image at 300dpi but when you physically change the dimensions of that image it will become something around 32dpi. Leave it alone. When...

I say you win! Sonoco vector logo

No need for duplicates(two layers). If you are working from a vector vehicle template just powerclip your design into the vehicle outline. Once it's finalized you can then create your panels. Also look at the resolution of any raster images. SHouldn't be anything over 72dpi. Crop any down close...

I feel much the same way. Don't sweat it, we thank you for your service just the same. p.s. Sometimes I proudly salute when attending sporting events that play the National Anthem. A privilege given to veterans by George W. Bush.

Try a Pantone equivalent. Pantone's which are a mixture of cmyk are much better than just a percentage of black that's void of other colors.

1. Why music and not a narrative step by step? Bad music at that! 2. Step 1 is unnecessary. If you set your default to just start a new page then resize via the input box 3. Stop with the overuse of guidelines 4. guessing on the placement of the guidelines will make for many inconsistencies...

I agree, in part, with you Bobby H. The whole reason the military did away with the career field was their wasn't really a "wartime task" for them. You gonna send a "soldier" to battle or a graphic designer? Should our tax dollars be going to graphic designers or "soldiers". Don't get me wrong...

Agree or just set up cut lines, print and make your own "blanks"

The government only allows certain military units software that can be used for design. That's probably down to 3% now that the Graphics career field is no longer. They do, however, allow everyone Microsoft Office Suite for which no specific training is given. The majority of those don't know...

When I was active duty USAF I was in charge of the "Graphics Department". We worked extensively with our Wing Historian at the time to ensure all our specific unit emblems were of the correct color specifications as per guidelines. We vectorized them all and he then kept a paper copy, as well...
