Jim, Its generally for folks that aren't Photoshop gurus and know all the proper steps to take to increase images in PS without artifacting or pixel loss. Its not THE answer, but it is AN answer. There are probably several ways to do what he is asking. I am just trying to provide an actual...

Genuine Fractals http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/perfect-resize/ Software has been around for 15 or so years. You can download a demo copy that works to see if you like it. Keeps you from having to generate a huge digital photo. I have used it since my early days in prepress.

Do these pretty regularly .... Wet apply is the way to go.

There's always an option of a horseshoe - but just leave the anvil and don't clutter it with something else. Simple works better.

Genuine Fractals will do it without too much grain or loss. All depends on close view image quality requirements.

Marketing Flamer, You admit to just delving into advertising and marketing yet you already know what works and doesn't work? Do you think there is a reason why every major brand manufacturer gives out coupons every week at the local grocery store? A coupon is nothing more than a discount you...

Churches I do it as I see appropriate and when I feel i won't get taken advantage of and its usually for startups. One of my biggest clients is one of the largest churches on the east coast. You are right - they have plenty of money, but they bid out everything and I have to compete with...

Banners Foeller, Like I said - i understood what you were doing. I do a pretty good amount of work for churches and I generally give a pretty hefty discount to help them market themselves as best they can with no budget. I do this for several reasons - not the least of which is the...

Banners Foeller, I get what you are doing and am sorry that everyone is torching you here. If its not what you do - then don't do it. You will run out of wholesalers who will give you the occasional banner at $1 a square, but lets not be hypocritical here, either. This is the same industry...

I am going to try not to be a smarta$$ based on the length of the post about "Attitudes around here" - but it befuddles me how folks that are supposed to be designers can't identify some pretty common fonts - so I am suggesting that everyone buy the Precision Type Font Reference book. I have...

Attitudes I have noticed the GENERAL feeling with some of the posts I read - I don't read all of them - just the ones that may pertain to something I may do one day, but I have received nothing but helpful advice and direction to my various posts and am grateful to all for the info - now - I...

Trailer wrap Around here in NASCAR country you would be lucky to get around 9K for a trailer wrap. These guys are beating each other up to get the team haulers. They are larger than a standard 53' trailer - but the good ones have no rivets. There's also a fair amount of quoting on 3M and...

Scope I use a Beta Industries Color Viewer I have has since my days of offset prepress. You can see into the future with it if you put the magnifier on top - but the straight lens works fine PLUS you have the ability to apply color filters to the CMY which makes it alot easier to see the print...

Alaska Son of a Beach... there's ANOTHER show about Alaska on History Channel right now. What is going on?

Anyone know where I can get the 4 x 4 vertical pole bracket as seen in the photo? Thanks

Does anyone else out there have a Mutoh Blizzard 65? I have a brand new one and when it prints - its a screamer at about 300 ft. per hour at high quality. When it prints... My issue is that recently with every type of media I am running - the head is hitting the material pretty...

Alaska Was many, many years ago that I was there... but fairly sure i would have remembered someone going 23 MPH. Do remember going bowling ALOT and hitting a moose in our SAAB, well and the C130 crashing in our backyard at base housing...

Gold rush Are the media outlets all in cahoots to push Palin on us in the near future? Why are there all of a sudden all these shows that feature Alaska? I lived in Fairbanks for two years and - yeah - the aurora is cool, but apart from that its a dump. I just don't see how we have gone 50...

Designers Ummm.... you want to be a little more specific on type of designer... cuz the ultimate designer would be God, right?

Real estate signs I very rarely do coro signs. Its the newsprint of this industry and it's like self-adhesive vinyl - anybody in the sign business can do it. If I do quote it - I quote such that if I do get the job - then I will make money for the effort and then I usually get some guy who...
