I don't think you can just select one discreet object in a compound path and tell Illustrator to enlarge the whole path until X part is Y dimension. That said, is there a reason you can't just make a 12" high box and manually scale the artwork up until the part in question is the size you want...

Maybe Neultica 4F squashed a little with a few degrees of tilt? EDIT: Bah, nevermind. The C and the Y are totally off.

Ballantines Script Heavy. Elsner+Flake. ID'd a different weight of this same font just the other day.

In my experience, there's a pretty sharp division between 2d and 3d art programs. That's not to say that there's absolutely nothing out there, but what 3d plug-ins I've seen for Photoshop and Illustrator tend to be these goofy, hacky messes that give you average results at best. That said, you...

We've got a JV3 in our shop that's probably about ten years old and still one of the most reliable machines on the floor. In my experience, Mimakis are almost absurdly durable. Obviously, nothing lasts forever, but if you maintain the things they return the investment. We replaced a head on our...

I compulsively look at every post in F&T and I know I'm not the only one. Granted you didn't know this, but there's no need to double up, especially in that forum.

That is Ballantines Script by Elsner+Flake. On a personal note, I am shocked, shocked, to find out that biker chicks don't keep track of the fonts in their colors.

Try making the cameo in back burgundy instead of that cream color. Make the dropshadow a black or an even darker burgundy. Right now, the only thing that really hops up is your dropshadow, and that's making everything kind of hard to read.

We tried the gold garland trick. No dice. Like I said, it's bad.

So our shop opens up into an unheated warehouse. At this time of year, it is lip-chappingly dry in this place. On a related note, I was cleaning off a sheet of PVC for the flatbed the other day, and when I was flipping it over it reached out and bit me from six inches away (seriously) and the...

Did you mean "Stephen Sinek?" (http://www.sevensindesign.com/)

I hammered something like this together a few months back with Excel and a little VB. Sometimes it works well, sometimes its waaaaay off, and I know that's got a whole lot to do with how accurate my measurements are, or aren't as the case may be. Right now I use a pair of Carrera micro...

Interstate Bold, but looks like they did something to the "t". Alternately, you could look at Blue Highway or Roadgeek and see if it's one of those.

Yeah, I love it when someone wants you to match a font, but all they've got is half a number and a comma. Anyway, glad I could help.

My knee-jerk response is Compacta Bold with some effects on it. Got anything else to look at beyond that 55?

Effect -> Warp -> Rise

Looks like it might be a flavor of Garamond. The problem is, obviously, that the letters have been tinkered with, and you can't really tell what was done to them in the 3d rendering program this was made in. I'm imagining that a good many of the hard edges and stems (like the crossbar of the...

Looks like your pressure is dropping off at regular intervals. Maybe your magenta damper isn't working right, but that's total guesswork on my part. In any event I'd bet that's a hardware issue. Call a tech, I'm skeptical that you'd be able to fix that without replacing something.

Large marketing firm? Oh then they definitely have layered files. ;)

Yikes. 100k is probably going to give you pretty bad results, too. I've had pretty good luck with 70C / 50M / 30Y / 100K on solvent inkjets in general. Ideally you want to find out what the TAC limit of your substrate is and blah blah blah, but if you don't want to open that can of worms, I...
