Spent an hour looking and trying to find good spots to break it up for whatthefont. No dice. Anyone got a clue? Many thanks! -Pete

I'm running into an issue with my Mimaki cutter. Even the square cuts are kind of sloppy. The corners aren't precise... when cutting big items, its not so much of an issue, but smaller fonts or really thin stroked fonts, it wont even complete the cut, or it will leave a weird corner. I've...

I swear if I get one more customer that comes in here and asks me to patch over the date/sponsor of their banner from last year... It's happened three times in the last two days. I'm growing weary of tire kickers and "how cheap can you make this?"

Designer / prepress rant... 1. IT'S CALLED A CLIPPING MASK.... covering things you dont like to be in in your artwork with a white box isn't the answer... especially if it extends past the artboard. 2. CONVERT TEXT TO OUTLINES.... There 50 bajillion fonts out there. I don't have the time or...

Started getting files I couldn't open more and more often (bastards) -- so i decided it was time to upgrade. Not liking the new colors, maybe ill get used to it. Anyone have some tips on what's new/different that I am going to run in to? I previously had cs5. It looks like photoshop has a...

So, one of my clients had me make some acrylic signs for the back doors on their property. They liked them so much that they want to replace the rest of the signage on their property, but some are ADA. If I send those out to be made elsewhere they wont match. So I am wondering... Is it...

Am covering some dugout tops with vinyl for our local baseball team. They want to be able to walk on it during 7th inning stretch and during contests, but it wont get a lot of traffic otherwise. Obviously it needs to last 6 months for a baseball season. The surface is concrete. I have been...

Been having serious issues with printer. Get those worked out and get ready to print all day today to try and get caught up, and freaking rasterlink opens, and files have not registered all over them when I print. So I go deregister the program, and re-register it. Says the same thing. I go...

Is there a way to change the default settings in illustrator to display spot colors as LAB instead of CMYK? Having to change it every time I make a new document is a PITA - because if I forget just one time, my colors are off.

Have a stage to wrap... its a header, two side panels, and backdrop and a skirt. I am worried about windload, and want to use mesh of course... but we have some options. 60-40 all the way to 90-10. Any way to calculate windloads? Which would you use? I am concerned it's just going to be a...

I know i've seen it, but what the font doesnt know it.

I figured I would make a new thread, rather than hijack another one. Yesterday, Magenta dropped a little on us, I did a head soak, and it came back. Today, yellow just disappeared mid print. It didn't slowly fade out, it just shut off mid print. So I tried the head soak again. Nothing...

JV33, wiper must not be wiping? Noticed last week, the wiper looked really clean... today I go to clean the machine again, and it's still clean, and bone dry. What would cause the machine to stop using the wiper?

Here's an example - I am dropping a single color logo from illustrator to photoshop, that is 021C. I also have some other 021C objects (which I defined using the color book in photoshop) - they aren't even close to matching. So I do a search on Adobe's site about this problem, and they say...

Hey, I'm swapping from ES3 to SS21, and building a ventilation system for it. Could any of you who have one post a few pics of the enclosure around the prints? I want to see how Mimaki did it, and compare that to how I am thinking of making mine. The pics online aren't exactly useful. Any...

We are growing... which is a good thing... and I am about to buy a double chain stitch machine for the amount of banners we are producing. So... i need a new production table. I am thinking 5' wide and 16' long... with a gated section we can add/remove the sewing head in and out of. I have...

Whatthefont cant find it either, but i see it on athletic stuff all of the time. Any ideas?

I've got a shopping center who has a bunch of new tenants who cant afford lit channel letters, so they have allowed formed plastic letters from Gemini. Well I have done 3 jobs already, but they don't like how thin they are. There's just no depth. They asked about foam letters, and I have my...

I've seen this one before, just cant remember the name - wtf didn't id it either. Many thanks! -Pete

I think i have seen the arms, at least somewhere, but cant remember where.
