I have a question which I'm hoping some of the artists here might be able to help me with. This is more of a personal interest of mine, however I can quite easily apply it to the work I do also. I am after finding either a good textbook or even a website which showcases the works of a well...

When you scale a bitmap (up or down), do you do it in photoshop/corel, or do you do it in your RIP? Do you find any quality benefits or downfalls with either method?

I have just found a work around - which a lot of people my already know about, but thought I would share for those who don't. I get a lot of regular jobs that specify text height at say 10mm, 15mm etc. There was discussion about Illustrator not being able to handle this via the transform...

I typically don't go over around 5 metres on my take up. Recently have had a couple of long jobs - where it's ideal to have it rolled up as one piece. Am taking up to 10-12 metres on my TU2 take up. Just wondering what other people's real world experiences are with how much can be...

In i1 match profile creation... I go to "print chart" A print dialogue box opens, and I click on "preferences". In the preferences box, I click on "advanced". I am presented with the attached window and circled the area in question. Should I leave this on "pictures" (perceptual), or...

I am using i1 match to profile my roland. I have a question out of curiosity. There are 3 options for patch patterns. Which one do you use? I use the 1 page one (i1 cmyk 1.1) The other is one called easy cmyk which only has a couple dozen patches, then there is a crazy 4 page one...

http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativesuite/design/pdfs/cs5-5-final-print-guide.pdf This is a good one to keep handy. The Adobe creative suite 5/5.5 Printing Guide. I am still on 4, but looks like a good reference nonetheless.

Am considering going to this brand/type for polymeric. Need to know if any bad things to know in advance. Will be using with matching lam 3420. :thankyou:

Hi all, I recently upgraded my pc - with a bit of help as usual from Choucove (Thanks again). Just wanted to note some specs and config here in case any one else is upgrading, with similar software/machinery and wants to know about compatibility and the such, and about performance...

Wondering if anyone has come across gloss media (I am facing this now with gloss white and clear), which has a dull line/area every foot or so. I am guessing it is in the same spot on the roll when it's rolled up, therefore assuming it's a storage problem at the distributor's warehouse? Or is...

Saw this while walking at the beach today in Coogee (a beach in Sydney Australia). Thought I'd share with you guys. By the way, do you know what Vegemite is over there in the States?

Ok... so I'm doing a really long run of solid darks... and I'm officially going insane. I'm getting there, and have found a couple of things which have helped. Just wondering if there are any other tips out there to help people down the track. I've searched and read quite a bit, but was...

Thanks for all your shared IT knowledge and help. I have learnt a lot directly from answers to my posts, and from reading a lot of past posts as well. If you ever come down under gimme a yell I owe you a :bushmill: or two.

I'll be building my PC tonight (can't wait), and am considering not even installing MS Office, and using open office instead. I've never used open office, but from what I have read so far, can't see what I'll be missing out on functionality-wise. Is there anyone out there who uses open...

Could be a big job coming up with a lot of weeding required in near future. During the development process of the artwork and design, the customer asked a question to which I answered "no" for now, but it has been bugging me, and has got me thinking. As the job requires a lot of weeding...

Just wondering, as I have some questions and have searched in many places but not sure how to find answers to the odd trivial question. Thanks in advance.

I just noticed my last delivery of vinyl... the box looked old, and a bit damaged, opened it up, one of the plugs is snapped and the broken piece has damaged the butt of the roll... something just didn't feel right... I looked at the batch date on the box, and it's 13 months old. Would...

So, it's great having so many tapes to choose from for so many different applications. Am I alone when I read through pages of product sheets for VHB tape and feel that almost all of them overlap each other and are essentially the same thing? Am I alone when I ask myself... what is the...

Please see attached pic. The real file in question, is a range of random small shapes like this - the area is 1500mm x 600mm or so. - Customer supplied vector art (illustrator) - The order of objects (there are around 570), when viewed in the layers pallette, are very far apart -...
