Not much to say. Just one more blissfully ignorant random user

How can I automate the process of cutting intricate shapes out of paper? You could try building a pantograph and using a rotating knife that aligns to the direction you drag it as cutter ... I don't know how feasible that is, though. And it would not be really automatic. Probably not better than tracing and cutting by hand. |

How can I automate the process of cutting intricate shapes out of paper? I don't think you can expect yo get the machine with a home-size-budget. Your best bet is to find a shop that does this kind of jobs. Small laser cutters I have seen are still at least 60x30x30 inches and have relatively high energy consumption. I don't think there are any cutters you can carry around... |

Dark Theme vs Light Theme in Web Applications www.codeacademy.com recently changed from a light theme to a dark one and there are a few comments on twitter asking for an option to switch to a light color theme. |

Dark Theme vs Light Theme in Web Applications +1 for suggestion to make it an option to use dark or light. Especially on web applications where you (usually) don't know what screen sizes, light conditions and tastes of the users are going to be like. |

Vectors or 300 dpi TIFFs for printing? Yes, you are right. I got it mixed up with a requirement from a printer I work with often. They need the gradients rasterized (rastered?) at specific dpi(depending on technology used, screenprinting direct to plates or traditional offset) and everything else flattened. THEN I save that as pdf and send it over. I forgot that I specifically rasterize them. As you said it has nothing to do with pdf or illustrator. Sorry about that! |

Vectors or 300 dpi TIFFs for printing? Could it be that it was a embedding error? When I started out most of my problems came from not embedding artwork. Sometimes there are lowres version in place of the original artwork so it would appear to be OK. On print I'd then get a very pixelated version. |

Vectors or 300 dpi TIFFs for printing? What are the gradient fills in illustrator? Are they from photoshop? like a version of psd smartobjects in illustrator? What I was saying is that vector files with gradient fills and effects are a mix between raster and vector (at least when saving as pdf). And that is a possible reason why there are dpi requirements on vector art. So you CAN export a pdf file from illustrator but you need to heed the resolution at which these effects are to be rasterized... I hope I'm getting this right. Please feel free to comment. |

Vectors or 300 dpi TIFFs for printing? There are instances where vector images end up with parts as rasterimages. Some "effects" and many gradientfills are transformed into raster images when creating pdf. Many of them clipped or masked with vector shapes. You can ask the vendor for the recommended settings but if the TIFF workaround is not too much of an hassle for you, it is worth knowing for sure there won't be any problems... Some vendors are more experienced than others with different formats and settings. Independant of years of experience in the field |

What should I consider when purchasing a new laptop and accessories for design? What kind of work do you have to do while traveling? What is "work while traveling" to you? Do you have to work while traveling in the train, airplane or bus(god forbid the last one)? Or does it mean you have to work while on a trip, from the hotel, everchanging offices etc? |

What retro font is this? All the sites I tried could not identify it That is why I just mentioned it in the comments. Since it is not the exact font the OP was looking for. I certainly see the merit in posting it as an answer, though. Thanks @Yisela. |
