  1. Open Source signmakers!

    Well, I can't say that those are what we use for production, although the boss probably would like the prices of those much more. However, I do a lot of beta testing and have worked with the GNOME Foundation on several projects (GIMP) and was amazed of the features in their software. Google's...

  9. Can I cut with Type 1 crop marks?!?

    tell us what kind of cutter you have first. If its any of the CG series, yes you can cut both but you need to go through the setup controls on your plotter and set it for the appropriate crop mark type.

    im with KR...i absolutely despise comic sans. I have actually gotten customers to agree to let me do designs over when they bring stuff in using comic sans, and the usual response is...wow i like it so much more like this lol. Papyrus will be this way in a year =P
  12. Fonts going SLOOOOOWWWW.....

    use a font manager, never keep them all loaded in your computer its not even worth it, especially once you start getting thousands of fonts. No matter how fast your computer is, if you have a system fonts folder that is large in size, its going to take a while to load them all.
  13. I don't like banding!

    Are you using the profiles that came with the machine? I can't stress enough how many times a lot of the profiles that come with the machine will not print correctly. We bought identical machines. One printed perfectly with the stock profiles the other one printed terribly. Custom profiled them...

Extensis Suitcase Fusion for Mac and Extensis Suitcase for Windows for 2000/XP/Vista systems. FontExpert is another very well...
  16. new to Photoshop... any good books?

    the only thing i dont like about lynda (and i do like it a lot)...is the fact that it is narrarated by people who have a 24/7 IV drip of Redbull and Starbucks w/ a hint of coke lol. They are wired off the wall in these videos.
  17. new to Photoshop... any good books?

    there are a ton of good books but personally if I were you and you had the extra money to invest, i would either get a year subscription to lynda.com or buy the dvds you want there an then you can have the tutorials on dvd and all the project files to go with them.
  18. anyone using a pen tablet?

    best investments I have made. Just picked up the Cintiq 21UX back in January for one of the Macs and I haven't looked back since. I have a 6x11 Intuos3 that I take on the road with my laptop and a 12x19 Intuos3 on the computer I use for 3D work. I can't give enough praise for the tablets. Been...
