Silkscreen and halftone points
What is the short answer to, "Illustrator can allow the user to control the size of the halftone dots? Just to be clear, for screen printing, the points must be courses. I have read several posts on the topic and there is still no definitive answer. The PPD file has been loaded. The document is a CMYK. In the print menu, the menu of separation has only very fine settings available (lowest is 56 lpi/300 dpi) that, if selected makes little or no difference in profiles of dot.
Just to reduce the confusion, often a silk screen printing will try to get two colors for the price of one. The simplest example would be to get the black & gray with a single screen. If I put 50% gray and black to 100%, still no change. If I use spot colors as PMS Cool Gray and black, no change. Move files in Photoshop can work but basically speaking of PhotoShop in my opinion is tone constant images or Photos, and it seems counterproductive to add a step further (and software) in the workflow.
I like to stick to the old motto of Kiss. Keep It Simple Stupid. In this case less is best. Other software make this a no-brainer. I like Illustrator and have invested hundreds of hours learning and the promotion of its virtues. When I was asked by a local store how to perform this task, I replied, (Oh I'm sure it's just a setting that needs to be defined.) Well, not so much. So, I can do or do I tell my partner to continue using CorelDraw! 7...
Hello Mojorocker1964,
Adobe Illustrator provides freedom to the output of the work to any LPI or DPI as you want (the typical LPI for offset printing varies from 85-133 lines per inch)
The output of the image is control by the imagesetter (the machine that makes the negatives), not Illustrator, CorelDraw, Freehand, Xara Xtreme, etc.. With illustrations of Adobe native Illustrator (which means no image setting), you don't have to worry about the LPI, DPI (Dots Per Inch) or resolution.
Be aware that when you print the work, you will be able to see the points instead of a smooth screen. Especially if the files went out with a low LPI.
See attached JPEG file compare halftones printed with computer semitones (output was 133 LPI)
It is sometimes better to go with solid Pantone colors when printing t-shirts. But this type of questions that you may have a better answer is your message to the Forums Design - Print Design: http://forums.adobe.com/community/design_development/printdesign
I hope that this answer to your question.

Time Capsule bridge and access point?
Hello
I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.
-What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?
-Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.
(I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)
-Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?
Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.
Because 2 wifi networks do not work
Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.
You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.
The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.
The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.
Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.
-What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:
Turn on Wi - Fi in both.
A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

Using custom control: draw a line and output start and end points
I'm looking to find or make a custom control (or simple Subvi), which appears as a grid of 100 x 100 unit and allow me to draw a line from one point to another on this grid. It will then display (x, y) of departure and the point of this line on the grid. Any help or ideas?
Thank you

LabVIEW 2009 SP1
You want essentially is a loop with an event structure when you process mouse down, move and up to events for the controls. There are several ways to implement something like that, but it will be probably the simplest:
- Use a table or a listbox multicolumn for your grid. Hide scrollbars and headers.
- You can use the ActiveCell property to-2, - 2 to select all cells. You can then use the cell size property to define the exact size of the cell.
- Then you put a picture on the top of the table control and color its transparent background so that the table shows through. Property node allows you to ensure that both line up on exactly the same location and size.
- You use the mouse on the image control events to detect clicks and moves.
- Point of the table to the method of the column line allows you to translate the position data of the event to a cell.
- You use the image control screws to draw the line on the photo based on these data.
- You can even color the cells selected in the table by using the table properties.
If you want to simplify things a bit, you can also use the event of timeout instead of moving the mouse event to draw the line, but then you keep the timeout value in a shift register and hand it to-1 (no timeout) when the mouse event to the top.
I would also say treatment mouse enter and leave events to change the cursor and cancellation if the user leaves in the middle of drag.

HP dv6 Notebook PC Envy: purple and green points on screen
Hey guys,.
For a little while now, I had green and purple points come on the screen. Randomly, he began to arrive and was not a cause to throw or something. They come on the screen, stay a while, disppear briefly and return. If he press the keyboard next to the mouse pad area it makes disppear for a little while.
I also have a line of white pixels from top to bottom on the left side of my screen, perhaps a little more two inches to one side. Not so long ago, I called HP, but they didn't really help me.
I can not screenshot them so I think it's a physical problem and not in display graphics software.
Someone at - it ideas? I'm on it!
Thank you
Ben
Hi @Benjamin95 ,
Welcome to the HP support community! I hope your enjoy your experience with us.
I saw your post about points violet/green and the white line. I'll be happy to help you. Yes, this could be a hardware problem. We can confirm that by connecting your laptop to an external monitor. If they come we know that there is a problem with the display. That they show it might be a software or graphic card problem.
What is your product number? There are a number of models of the dv6 series.

Not impressed with remedies for loss of restore - 7 and 8 points
The "clean boot" procedure designed to be a remedy to restore lost in Win7 and 8 point is a huge hoop for users to pass through, and there is no guarantee of success.
What is the problem with Microsoft that the retention of the restore in the 7 and 8 points isn't tested as in Windows XP?
I think that Microsoft should just train and solve this problem with a typical WINDOWS UPDATE and stop frustrating users with hoops without end to pass through.
The problem of double is created which is double or triple boot configurations are unusable because adjacent win8 to win7 partition causes a loss of restore in win7 and vice versa points. Upgrade to a bigger hard drive via the cloning also causes loss of all points on the new restore disc, and any type of C: resizing causes a loss of all restore points.
I don't think that it is an irreparable problem. A little engineering effort should produce an UPDATE of WINDOWS that will ensure the maintenance of restore point.
I had a great experience with the support of solving a problem of reactivation. Call number... 31666ID. I'd feel the same satisfaction finally do a WINDOWS UPDATE that addresses the loss of restore points in 7 and 8. GH

Develop the preset for the black and white Points
Is it possible to create a preset that will find the correct point black and white individually for each photo to import?
The [auto tone] button in the quick develop Panel is as close you will arrive at an Auto setting of the black and white points.
But many find it also changes exposure requiring several slider adjustments.
You will get the best results if you hold down the [ALT] key when you move the black and white sliders, or press 'J' to set the clipping indicators in the histogram of mode of development. (Blacks show blue, white and red)

Hello. Anyone set black and white points when editing? If so, at what point in the workflow do you do that?
I tend to use after correcting the highlights, shadows, brightness, clarity and contrast may be. In the latest versions of LR you can simply double-click on the word white and black all in now the SHIFT key. Which will automatically define the ends of the histogram. It works fine most of the time, but sometimes I need to go back a little off.

What does it mean when the Selection tool in illustrator has a small white box or black next to the pointer? I did a clipping of an object mask and now can't move and selection pointer has small box beside him. Yet to learn...
When it is over an unselected path or shape (as in, something that you can select if you click right here), it shows a black box. When you're not selected anchor, it shows a white box.

Shape layers composed pre receives the full composition size and anchor point
I want a precomp to a shape layer,
but I want it to be the right size of the form and have points in the center of the horizontal and vertical anchor shape.Whenever I take a form and create a precomp it will immediately get up to the full composition and weight and the anchor point will be in the middle of these dimensions.
How can I create a precomp to a shape layer to the right size and with the right anchor point?
Thank you!
A demo is always going to be the same size as the original. This does not mean that you cannot resize the pane later.
When you create your shape layer, you will need to press the u key to reveal all the form properties and reset the position of the form at 0,0. This will bring the shape layer in the composition. After you you need to precompose, you can now change the size of the publication.
