skibum5545 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well, I've finally finished the logo for my headstock. It's a spoof on the Fender logo, changing it to fit my last name, Dryden. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/skib...5/logofixed.bmp My question is, can a place like Kinko's or Copymax print this on logo paper (the ultrathin clear stuff), or would I need a special logo place, online or otherwise, to print it? Also, assuming I can find a source for the logo paper, do I need a special kind of printer, or will an inkjet work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Is this THE actual file that you are going to use? What program are you using? If you're starting out from scratch in Photoshop, or something like that, I would recommend that you go for a much higher resolution. Right now you're at about 37 dpi, but it's 4" tall, so there's some dpi that will be "added" when you reduce it. But professional quality bitmap files are ususally 1200 dpi, at final size. If you can, try to create logos in a vector based format. They are resolution independent, and can be resized without losing any detail.... As for getting it printed out, Kinko's should be able to print that for you on some clear "overlay" type of material. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well, I drew the image by hand, scanned it, and used a combination of IRFANVIEW and MS Paint to edit the image. Of course, vector drawings would be ideal, but I have no idea how to do that. Any tutorials online that might prove helpful? Again, thanks for the help.

Librero Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 maybe vectorizing the bitmap image will work. i've had some success with Corel Trace a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
