    Anybody seen Portlandia on IFC? It's a new sketch comedy show with Fred Armison (SNL) and a lady, don't know her name. I was watching this weekend and this skit aired.

  2. Perfect Resize software problem

    I did a google search but nothing turned up so I'm asking here. I got the trial version of Perfect Resize the other day. I opened my image, resized it, clicked "Apply" and the program shuts down. It doesn't freeze up; it completely disappears and the file isn't saved. On Friday, it happened with...
  3. Stock photos: difference between these 2 images?

    I need to purchase a stock image from Dreamstime. I'm going to need to increase the size quite a bit so I want to get the highest resolution available. There are several options but here are the 2 largest: Maximum 4248x2824px (9722 KB) 14.2" x 9.4" @ 300dpi Tiff 4248x2824px (34.4...

  6. I saw the famous KFC sign!

    I went to Atlanta last weekend to see one of my favorite bands, Widespread Panic, Saturday and Sunday nights at the Tabernacle. That's not important to the story but wanted to throw that in there because it was AWESOME!!! Anyway, on the way back home to Alabama on Monday (my birthday), we wanted...
  7. Gonna be in a school art show. Need ideas.

    At the end of this semester, all of the graduating art students have to participate in an art show and I'm having a hard time coming up with some unique ideas on how to display my stuff. We'll have a 4'x4' card table that will be against a wall. About 6' or so up the wall, there is a pole we...
  8. Correct plural posessive of "family"?

    We're making some decals for a company to hand out to employees about wearing their fall protection gear. The slogan is, "Make your families holidays bright... Check your fall protection twice." What is the correct spelling of families in that context? Would it be singular posessive, plural or...
  9. Looking for printable lexan

    For years, we've had a customer who orders multiples of small lexans, ranging from about 2" x 10" to about 6" x 6". We've always printed them on the Gerber Edge because that's all we had. What a pain in the arse they are! They have 4 - 7 spot colors and a 4-color process image, plus some things...
  10. Does your GS6000 alert you when ink is low?

    We've had our GS6000 for a little over 2 years and as I recall, when one of the inks starts to get low, the ink level bar on the lcd screen will flash, letting me know it's going to run out soon. About a month ago, one of the inks ran out overnight and I thought, "Oh, crap! How did I miss...
  11. How to legally sell my Adobe Dreamweaver

    Last year, I bought Dreamweaver CS5 through Adobe at the student discount price. I struggled through the class I needed it for and I realize now that I will never use Dreamweaver again. I don't plan on doing much website design and if I needed to, I'd prefer to use Joomla. So, I'd like to sell...

  15. You *really* want your card to look like that?

    Yep, he does. Absolutely no changing his mind. I went as far as telling him it was illegible, unprofessional and just plain bad. He wants it like this anyway. Sometimes you just make the customer happy and take the money and run.

    I sent this layout to a customer today. The only info she gave was blue background, white text, with the wording. Here is what I sent:
  19. What's causing this color issue?

    What's causing the burgundy to print like this? It should all be the same color on the outside perimeter. I'm assuming the shadow has something to do with it? Any suggestions on how to get it to print correctly? The correct burgundy is PMS 195. It shows correct on the screen. I have an Epson...
  20. Ink around capping station? Epson GS6000

    I noticed some ink under one of my capping stations today. I tried to take pics but they came out fuzzy. If you've run into this situation before, maybe it will look familiar. I put an oval around the parts I'm talking about. The one on the left is the capping station that looks fine. The one on...
