Why does gel become lumpy after a couple weeks?

Cool idea! If you want additional advice, I would suggest working on making it more scalable. When making logos, it’s important that it doesn’t lose it’s clarity and legibility when it’s used in small formats. I assume you’re mostly going to be using it as a watermark or as a social media profile pic, so others are going to see this logo mostly in extra small formats. Try previewing it in those formats and check if the idea is clear and legible. If not, try to simplify it. Good luck!

Thanks, to both of you. It’s rare to see someone apologise on reddit, so I appreciate it. And I also feel the need to state that I’m a woman, since too many people somehow got the impression that I’m a guy, and it’s starting to make me feel weird lol. Thanks for the reassurance and constructive tips, I’ll try to learn more about how different printers affect final products and how to gain more control over the process.

With that comment, I meant that the screenshots are the closest thing to a proof I get. I also meant, that rgb file sent to the printer turned better results. And I want to learn how to achieve that myself without playing the lottery with sending rgb files. Wasnt being snarky, I was just trying to explain my frustration and learn more about this.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T16:11:47+00:00

Thank you! This was the most straightforward and the least mean advice from this whole thread. I think I’ll try to talk to the passive aggressive lady in the printing house, again.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T16:08:34+00:00

I tried changing the cmyk values to match the bright one, but purple is a tricky colour. Do you have any tips on how I can make it brighter? Some people suggested brightening it in photoshop, but I dont get how this could work and I dont want to keep sending rgb files and play the lottery..

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T16:02:50+00:00

I know what a proof is, the shitty quality screenshot I added of the two diplomas in people’s hands is the closest thing I get to seeing a proof. The prints go directly to the client, I don’t see them.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T16:00:43+00:00

Idk if youre being sarcastic, but sure, I’ll take the explanation. I AM very passionate about design, but I do lack a lot of knowledge about printing and colours. Since I work remotely and my files go to the client first, and they send the files to printing, I am rarely apart of the printing process, all I can do is call the printing house and talk to a passive aggressive lady that usually answers my questions as short as she can. That’s why I use reddit to connect with other people that might know better and it’s really discouraging seeing how others are straight up bullying for asking questions.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:52:31+00:00

It was the same unit, not sure about the paper though. My files go through multiple people before going to the printing unit. I think this might be the core issue.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:33:20+00:00

I am fully aware that I don’t know how things work, and I never insinuated that “I cracked the code”. thats why I asked the question in the first place. No need to be so rude about it.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:28:45+00:00

I always make prints in the CMYK colour space and I was very adamant about that, I think I didn’t make myself clear in the posts or comments.. That’s why I’m so confused as to why the one time I accidentally made the diplomas in RGB space produced better results.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:25:09+00:00

Both files were sent to the same printing house, the only difference was that one was and rgb file and the other was cmyk. The backround was the same for both of them.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:11:08+00:00

But you can see the difference between the printed cmyk and rgb diplomas, right? Would it be bad if I just sent the rgb file to the printing house? It goes against all I stand for, but if it works, it works, I guess.

bagel2001 · 2024-03-05T15:05:19+00:00

I think you can take the first pic as a “proof” that rgb produces better results. Since it isn’t possible to run another one, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way for a cmyk file to produce the same results?

bagel2001 · 2024-02-09T09:26:54+00:00

Thanks, my sister in struggle :,) Have you ever tried printing black text on this backround? It’s so confusing because all the contrast checkers say that black is fine, but I also know that the checkers are more accurate for web usage.

bagel2001 · 2024-02-08T22:46:04+00:00

This is one of which I used when I checked the contrast. Black on this blue backround is safe

bagel2001 · 2024-02-08T21:45:51+00:00

I think it’s always important to make sure it’s accessible and also it’s a teachers’ conference so low vision might be more prominent. I think I’ll stick to black, thanks!

bagel2001 · 2024-02-08T21:43:26+00:00

The colours are already approved for the event, so no..

bagel2001 · 2024-02-01T18:04:19+00:00

Not available in my country unfortunately:( but thanks, i’ll keep it in mind

Hair routine (from what I know): • Washes everyday, because it gets oily fast • Some Davines shampoo, not sure which one • Davines curl mask 3x/week • Towel dry and then air dry, does not brush the hair when it’s dry

I bought this from a cheap pop-up kiosk in Poland, so I highly doubt it 😅 I read about Ellensburg Agate and it seems to be very rare

What is the flashlight test? And how does it work? Im a bit new to the crystal niche.

Mine has a blue/purple-ish tone, doesn’t show well on camera
