Agreed, Extensis is the only way to go.

Agreed, I have the same disk problems on my PC as well. What version of Creative Suite do you run? I run CS2 at work, but I just got CS3 for my Mac at home and I haven't had the problem yet but I've only had it a couple months.

Only reason I ask is because at work I have a PC and when I'm in PS or AI and it gives the "not enough memory" response I have to close the program and restart. It gets annoying but sometimes that's the only recourse.

Are you working on a PC or Mac?

Also, one thing to consider is the software that rips the file to the printer. Sometimes I have to make sure the effect is rasterized or outlined if it is text before sending to the printer. Signboy most likely hit the nail on the head, I just thought I would add my two cents if the scaling...

With photoshop, saving files as a .tif or .jpg both flatten the layers out and create white backgrounds. If you are wanting a transparent background in PS you need to save it as a .gif file and click the option that says "transparency." Illustrator is a much more optimum program for...

I generally look on www.dafont.com and there's a large number of usable fonts, but I didn't really find anything that simulated that effect. Then I got to thinking that if you used a font with that effect in it, the same look probably would be possible since the Photoshop effect is done to the...

Awesome, thanks for the tip...I was trying to find a printer that was decent to trade in for that I would be comfortable with. Since it's an HP as well it may be a smaller learning curve.

Yeah that's just the thing: everyone in my current market gets into a price war (including my owners) so it comes down to relationship. But we all know it's hard to market "relationship" over the internet. My biggest selling point at the moment is that I can output at a much higher resolution...

Wow, how are they done that cheaply if you don't mind me asking? Are the vendors listed on the site somewhere?

Aww man, did I get that wrong? I guess I showed my inexperience. I just know that I can't trade materials with any of our competitors because they won't print on our machine, and their materials are all much cheaper than ours because they started a price war recently. :)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to get my owners to upgrade printers, so this might help convince them. The HP is supposed to give us high quality output, but if it's costing us a fortune for materials then it may not be worth it.

This forum is fantastic for newbies like myself. I've got a year in the industry and I just feel like I'm at a point where I'm learning something. Thanks in advance for your help. The printer we have in house uses pigment UV ink, but we're learning that material runs a bit more expensive than...
