You can also try using Illustrators trapping. I think everything has to be grouped, but once it is grouped select: Effect > Pathfinder > Trap and select your parameters.

Went from an iGen to a Kodak Nexpress.

When you say modern baseball cards, I immediately think high-gloss, gold foil, hologram type cards. Are you doing any of these effects as well?

I'd suggest shrinking the white/silver under the color as well.

I also do design work for the company I do prepress work for and Joe, you are completely right. I know what I make on an hourly basis and I know what the company charges for my design time and let's just say that they're paying me about a third of what they charge the client.

and apparently, I'm quite the bargain as no one has any problem paying it. Also, a degree is all in the eyes of the beholder. I know of people with a 4 year degree in design and couldn't design a simple logo or letterhead.

As a freelance designer, I charge $50 an hour U.S.

Are you running it through any trapping software? or is it a one color job? sometimes trapping software screws things up. Also, are you exporting out of InDesign? If so, check your transparency flattener and make sure it's set to high resolution.

I think I'll wait for the next one. I'll only be 127. I just hope I still have my eyesight then.

Have you looked in to Web2Print companies such as Vista Print? They may be able to do your printing for you.

More than likely what you are looking at is the screen dots of the cyan looking funny in areas due to the screen angle that was used. To answer your question, yes, you would be better off picking a Pantone ink that resembles 70% cyan and run it at 100% if that is the only color that is on the...

The only advice I can give in that case is to be very careful selecting objects. Unfortunately, the way you're doing it is probably the only way to do it. Sorry there's not an easier answer, but sometimes, the only way is the hard way.

I don't think there is a group feature. You'll have to use the selection tool and shift select the items you want to move as a group then use the move tool to move them together.

I tried Jon's method and it worked great. Downloaded the excel file, did a find/replace, then saved as a CSV as opposed to my original method of downloading as a CSV.

Thanks for the replies. I'm the one who set up the form that gathers the data. I was thinking I was making it easier on myself by having one field the person could input a bunch of data as opposed to having several individual fields. But since it's only natural for them to hit return after every...

I'm having a problem with data merge in InDesign where I have a name field that is filling out correctly on the first page, but then it's creating second and third pages with the name field filled in with data from another cell completely. The only thing I can figure out is that it's because the...

Gordo, Have you tried iTunes? Unless I'm mistaken, you should be able to go into the advanced preferences and there should be a "CD Text" option when burning audio CDs.

The only reason I even found out about it is that I'm currently reading Seth Godin's "Linchpin" and he mentions it in there.
