  4. Need Help Why do illustrator drop shadows get saved at the same size as the artboard when converting to pdf.?

    3rd party illustrator file given as pdf. 3'h x 8'w with 975 blades of grass along the bottom at approx 2"h, each with its own drop shadow.

  10. Color profiles for different substrate prints

    Just occurred to me, the designer, that when printing to wrap mater and window perf that the colors are different. Then it hit me our print tech uses different print profiles for each.

  14. Here's a funny layout request.

    Salesperson was contacted about making 2 signs. One is to be a 2-3ft square 3mm ACM & 1 4ft x 8ft 3mm ACM. Sample files were provided for verbiage.

  18. Is it insulting to point out the desired way to set up 3rd party files?

    I get a lot of 3rd party "print ready" pdf files that really aren't. We never print the pdf's directly, we always import to Corel and check sizes and set up for multiple prints as needed.
