| 556197 | 2007-06-08 11:14:00 | The bad news is that the background history of the file (scanned at hi-res from hard copy) was not the best, and when they blew it up to check the graphics, they found that at very high magnification it was composed of dots, not solid black so the computer cutter can't follow it. That means that we can't do the window film at all, despite everybody's best efforts. Billy 8-{) :) Sounds like the EPS was just a hi res image of pixels rather than a vector graphic image. A vector graphic would use bezier curves from point to point rather than a series of small dots. You need a bit more than file conversion to do that as well as a Mac ops eye for the finer detail. |

Since Illustrator was mentioned with the ai fomat would mean that the guys needed vector based art work rather than pixel based. That is something that people working in design and print are used to looking out for. |

Cool, so I guess you are going to sort it for Billy instead of shooting your mouth off... he will be pleased :thumbs: |

| 556205 | 2007-06-09 09:44:00 | The question is,have you genius's fixed B's prob.Personally I don't think it's gonna happen, not with the image in its present state; as mentioned the original is pixelated. Having said that I know Shortcircuit's skillz are pretty 733t, but I think it would be too laborious to achieve, hence the reason the shop wanted to charge several hundred bucks to do it. |

Thanks Greg, but apparently I'm not a 'real graphics guy'. Actually I think I mostly did it 2nd time around... with Winmac's assistance of course. We shall have to wait and see if BillyT decides to go with the net curtains or not. |
