  1. opinions on plotter tracking

    Ditto...but there's Allen Datagraph who's also batting for us. I've seen some media come in punched, but not stripped on the sides. It makes for a snotty mess on the sprockets after a while. JB
  2. I need a linguist

    Sorry to hear that...and, by the way it's always double bacon...I swap the sausage for more bacon. JB
  3. I need a linguist

    Yep...just like bacon and eggs. BACON always has to come first...no exceptions. JB
  4. CS6 Trial...Brain f*a*r*t!

    Looks like I'll be holding on to my "two-fitty"... After some mulling it over, I tried a few experiments to get past the issue I was having with large size files in Illustrator. Primarily, we use full scale photos for mockups...so when those photos start out as high resolution and are...
  5. I need a linguist

    Dang...why aint we gettin' any of that stuff here? JB
  6. I need a linguist

    On a further note, lightning is a noun that we tend to use as a verb sometimes...which, as you mentioned, results in nonsense. So then, what I'd really like to know is "why do we call them thunderstorms, when thunder is only the byproduct"? Like that country song on the radio from a...
  7. I need a linguist

    ...A smattering of electrons burst into luminescence, producing an audible report that echoed throughout the valley.... (I had a wonderful composition teacher, back in the day)
  8. Your Training Resources

    I'm an alum of HKU* (*Hard Knocks University) JB
  9. Keeping Count

    Get this.... I read a story about one shop where they issued ipads with wifi to every employee. Each employee had the responsibility of making updates to the network as the job progressed. All pertinent information was available on the network for all to see, and it eliminated the need...
  10. Keeping Count

    I would think you'd be better off to make your own based on the departments in your company. Start at the beginning when the order is received from your customer, and then trace the job's path throughout your shop until it reaches the loading dock. Then develop specific standards for each...

    Sounds like you need a "routing" sheet. Basically, it 's a sheet with detailed instructions that follows the job through each process. Employees sign off on the sheet when they're finished with their particular task and then it's handed off to the next employee to complete their task. At...
  12. CS6 Trial...Brain f*a*r*t!

    I'm running a Dell Precision T1600 with only 4GB of ram....perhaps it won't be worth it. What I dont understand is that I don't seem to have those problems with Photoshop CS5...and those photos are much larger...what am I missing herre? JB
  13. CS6 Trial...Brain f*a*r*t!

    After running the Illustrator CS6 trial for a month, I saw a few new things I'd like to have, but I really didn't notice a difference in overall performance. Until.... Then one day, after the trial expired, I began clearing off the menu bar and noticed there were two buttons for...
  14. Fudge, Google just said FU to me!

    Pardon my ignorance on the subject. I guess I still have a burr under my saddle from a guy who said he could all but "sell me the moon" with SEO. Carry on, my friends...sorry to ruffle any feathers.... JB
  15. And we're ashamed to charge $50.00 for a design

    As they mentioned, the final cost for some of those are for is for a complete rebranding package...which means a total "about face" on all current corporate identity and marketing materials such as billboards, apparel, corporate sponsorship signage, letterhead, business cards, vehicular...
  16. Fudge, Google just said FU to me!

    I might sound ignorant here, but I think SEO is way over rated. For the time and effort involved, I truly believe that personal attention and excellent customer service lasts a whole lot longer...and travels much further. JB
  17. I peacefully coexist betwixt the two halves....

    A very most-awesome ad from Merceedes. I found a high-res photo on Flikr and it's now my desktop. A couple of variations in theme: http://www.fuelyourcreativity.com/left-brain-vs-right-brain-advertising/ I initially started out my career in the left brain...but have gradually migrated...
  18. Font Manager

    Here's what I use http://www.extensis.com I have Fusion 3, but looking at all the new goodies with F4, I might upgrade. What I really like the most is the Font Vault...a repository of all my fonts that can be backed up and migrated to a new computer with a few clicks of the mouse. When...
  19. Online fax service?

    Ironic, huh?
  20. Illustrator CS6: What do YOU think?

    I was in Staples yesterday and noticed a very drastic change in their Adobe software display....there were only one or two "boxed" products available, but quite a few options for online subscriptions. Packaged like a gift card, you can purchase subsciptions for as short as one month. In a...
