ALICOLE2 1 Posted April 17, 2015 I am needing this image ASAP!! I have been fooling with it all day and Im just getting frustrated with it. I think its my software on my computer. I have adobe Illistrator but everytime I open the file it keeps cutting off the words on the left side of the image. At this point i would just take it in PDF format so i can print my transpancery.

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted April 17, 2015 Take a look at the size of your workspace. If the image extends out past the edges it may not print properly (printing not cutting) In the menu you should be able to make sure you can "view artboards" and there is a quick tool on the left side of most toolboxes that lets you quickly drag the sides of your artboard to fit. (assuming you are using a fairly new version of AI. CS@ does NOT have the quick button and you have to go into preferences and change it there). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALICOLE2 1 Posted April 17, 2015 I have already tried that. This image was sent to me and when I imported it looks fine on the screen but when it prints the letters are cut off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted April 17, 2015 Did you convert everything to curves?. did you check the nodes if they are closed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted April 17, 2015 I recreated it from scratch with the same fonts, that is the way to go if you want it to be decent quality, since text doesn't vectorize very well... I think I got it looking pretty close to the original. iamafriendofgod.EPS 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 1, 2015 I help out sometimes when I'm basically bored (much less spare time lately). I enjoy the graphics work and it's relaxing but I also watch who it's for and if they are at the point they should be getting it figured out I help out less and give a little more push toward helping them learn to do it. I probably shouldn't say it but sometimes I vector stuff just for fun and then don't even give it out to them.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 1, 2015 I think that is how I burned myself out last fall - trying to help everyone, even the ones that don't try to help themselves. then I pulled back and only really critiqued printing jobs sent in - then realized these are graphics professionals and if they want to pay for a jacked up pixelated jpeg they sent that is what they should get. I used to recreate work for people and I think that became expected . . . times they have changed 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fustratedinhawaii 71 Posted May 1, 2015 I think that became expected . . . times they have changed yeah!! I remember a few weeks ago you voiced out frustration and said you were going to leave it as they sent it....Did the customer say anything when they got it back??

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted May 1, 2015 And when I get PM's from newbies, who just signed up...wanting help ....I tell them to post their questions to the forum or contact tech support,,.I don't say this,,... but I am not their private tech support.....I have received several of those....do you others receive those? Some how I became an expert on a Creation PCUT this morning? LOL Never owned one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 1, 2015 Suckers lol. I must scare them off cause I rarely get a message unless someone needs something done but I haven't done as much helping mainly because business is insanely busy this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 1, 2015 I'm in the middle. PM's have their place too because I wouldn't want to read the conversations that go on in PM's all the time and they'd fill the forum traffic up. Personally I prefer true topics in posts that will be something that someone new can search and find good usable info rather than prattling on like I do in PM's. I know searching certain topics can lead to many hours of filtering through the pointless unanswered stuff until you finally find THAT POST that actually tells you something. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
