  1. Need Help I suck at Photoshop...please help me

    yep. Definitely a simple Outer Glow effect. I've had to emulate other designs as well throughout my career, whether it was a company logo for a presentation, or backgrounds for consistency. If a client came to me and said they didn't like a competitor's print quality/service/etc. but wanted...
  2. Best way to present a portfolio

    Except in my experience, employers have to learn to be loyal to their employees. I've been in places where I was expected to work any amount of extra time (often with no warning) as if I was one of the MBAs trying to get parnership status - except I would never get that reward. Frankly, where...
  3. Best way to present a portfolio

    RJSsigns, Portfolio does look like a good free option - especially since I'm paying for it already... I did make the mistake of posting on their Work In Progress board not realizing it was as temporary as Snapchat... I see what you're saying regarding building a site from the code on up. In a...
  4. Best way to present a portfolio

    Like anyone else, I'm keeping my eyes open for possibilities.... What is the best way to build an online portfolio? Do you A) build a Wix/Wordpress site with all your varied skills - maybe separated by subpages per concentration? B) use an online portfolio site such as Behance for the same...
  5. File type for screen printers

    True. There are quite a few possibilities that we old timers understand...
  6. File type for screen printers

    That's a good idea... I can always go from spot to process, not necessarily the other way around... I'm also trying to convince a younger guy that yes, spot colors are still used in certain situations...
  7. File type for screen printers

    One of our brand logos was designed as a raster based file. The designer used a method to get a chrome effect. However, we get requests for this logo as a vector for screen printing. I'd like to re-render it in Illustrator, with gradients approximating the chrome effect, using spot colors...
  8. Onyx encountering anti-virus

    I tried adding Postershop.exe to the exceptions, but I still got that error. I have plenty of hand cutting to do, so I can wait until tomorrow...
  9. picking up where I left off...

    I'll have to remember that if it happens again... this print was the last length of a roll that got warped by water damage and I was salvaging what I could...
  10. picking up where I left off...

    I tried setting the point of origin at the registration mark at the 25% line - and it cut in the wrong spot.... I guess I can just hand cut these as simple rectangular stickers...
  11. picking up where I left off...

    We had a power outage yesterday... My cutting job was about 25% through, is it possible to re-send the cut file and pick up where I left off?
  12. Onyx encountering anti-virus

    We had a power outage yesterday, and now after rebooting the PC that functioned as the server for our printer, Onyx's RipQueue won't open. I first get a window from the anti-virus that says "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?"...

    Didn't see that - luckily Grimco's guy came through ...
  14. Printer profile for Canvas

    I have a SureColor S60600 and I'm trying to find the proper profile out there to print on poly/cotton canvas... I went to the manufacturer's site (Magic) and found nothing from their on-site search... Their tech support person suggested contacting Epson and asking for one called "Epson GS...
  15. Question margins between posters

    Thanks!
  16. Question margins between posters

    Hmmmm..... I guess as long as my boss doesn't see me hand cutting, it won't be too much of a loss of time... Which brings me to another question: can I use those .25" - .375" margins for bumper sticker and decal layouts?
  17. Question margins between posters

    We already have a small guillotine, but I'm partially trying to get more practice using the Graphtec, partially trying to justify the budget expenditure... What's a safe margin so the blade doesn't shift the paper?
  18. Question margins between posters

    I'm doing a bunch of posters, mostly 11 x 17", but a couple are 18 x 24". I'd like to just run them in a big roll, and then put it on the Graphtec to cut (and save my fingers from more Xacto cuts). How much of a margin should I leave between each poster? I used to leave 1/2" when cutting by...
  19. Suggestions solvent ink durability on canvas

    No washing - it's a fine art version of prints that are on our T-Shirts. We might have had some requests from clothing customers for this...
  20. Suggestions solvent ink durability on canvas

    But how long is "very long?" My boss wants to sell these prints, I'm sure at a high price, and he wants them to last for a decade for the purchaser.
