How to create a linocut/printed surface aesthetic in Illustrator CS3?

Hi,
I'm looking to create a linocut/printed surface look in Illustrator for a project that i'm working on. I'd love to get my hands dirty and make it for real but unfortunately the timescale i'm working to won't allow for such a luxury. Is there a way to do this?
I've included the image below to give an idea of the sort of thing i'm after.
Cheers!

If you are trying to get a more textured feel to the linework than the normally perfect vectors that Illustrator creates, you might look at the various effects. I'd say "roughen" off the top of my head from the look of the art sample.

    1. wether my approach (below iare the details)of trying to extend the PromptVO is the right way or is there any other way to add the new columns.
    I want to add new fields on to the report . When i looked into the it says the below
    Here we find that to add a new column, oracle says to update the LINESVO.xml, do they really mean to update the base files.
    This report uses following VO's
    PROMPTVO
    HEADERVO,
    LINESVO.
    To create new Headers & Prompts, i tried extending the PROMPTVO. Once the extended VO is substitued , i dont even get the data for standard oracle Prompts. is this the right way to add columns?
    Thanks

    I can not figure how to create a Adobe PDF Printer. Normally when you install the package ( CS6 Standard for Mac Pro) the installer creates the PDF printer automatically. In the System Preferences under the Printer/Fax I don't see the PDF printer. How do you create the PDF printer.

  • How to create a PDF Printer

    Hi, we need to create a system PDF printer.
    I found many solution with a local printer but none with a system printer.
    does it exist an how-to to create this kind of printer?
    thank you

    Hello Massimo,
    this is possible by using the device type PDF1 (or ZPDF1). Please follow the instructions of the following notes in order to create a PDF printer in your system. These notes show different alternatives on how to achieve this:
    #317851 Creating PDF format via spooler in 4.6C/4.6B/4.5B
    #576973 Creating a file printer on a Windows PC
    #323736 Restrictions with "PDF print" through spooler
    The last note has the list of restrictions on this functionality.
    Also, is your OS Windows? Then please check the following note:
    #161516 Printing into a file or anywhere else in NT
    I hope this information helps.

  • How to create a half fold template in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hi
    I wanna design a card by using adobe illustrator, but i have no idea how to create half fold template.
    Anyone can teach me how to create a half fold A4 template?
    Thanks alot !!

    Indeed, Monika. And then you have to trust them.
    Most know what they're doing (and if you know what you're doing, you can tell them apart by the answers they give you to your questions).
    They produce by certified standards and if you deliver exactly according to the specifications, you get what you want. They have automatic processes to check your documents and reject them when they don't conform to the specs.

  • How to create a custom printing plate file

    Does anyone know how to do the following? It is for a We r memory keepers custom file.
    Create a new document in a custom size 6" x 8"The document should be a bitmapped PDF fileResolution should be at least 1200 dpiDesign custom artwork in the 6" x 8" spaceAll artwork must be 100% Black (C=0, M=0, Y=0, B=100)All fonts must be 6 pt or greaterAll lines must have a width of 0.3 pt or greaterSave document as a hi-res PDFNote: Please note that raster art should be at 1200 DPI bitmap, even if it's placed into Illustrator. If using Photoshop, double check the Bitmap under image->mode->Bitmap. We recommend using a 50% treshold in that conversion, then saving it as a bitmapped PDF file. If image->mode->bitmap is grayed out, you must first select grayscale mode, and then convert to bitmap. Converting to bitmap ensures that each pixel of your artwork is either black or white (not colored or gray). The software that creates the printing plate will then be able to detect how to react for every pixel of your photopolymer plate.

    Pretty much self explanatory.  You just have to design something and then use the instructions is supplying the vendor the appropriate file type.

  • How to create a hidden shape in a photograph (illustrator/ photoshop)

    Hi,
    I'm new to illustrator and even newer to photoshop so I'm not sure which would be suitable to acheive the look I want. I have searched google endlessly by cannot find the tutorial I need.
    I have a photograph, and I would like for a shape (say a triangle for arguments sake) to be on the photograph. I would like the shape to have no fill or stroke as such (so the photograph is uninterrupted), but only to be visible due to the part of the photograph that is within the triangle being slightly different to the rest. Examples would be that the triangle may have a slightly different texture, be black and white, or be magnified slightly etc?
    If anyone can get me started as to the direction I need to go it would be greatly appreciated. Any examples would also be great so that I can see if it is actually the result I'm looking to achieve.
    Thanks in advance.

    That effect would be easier to do in photoshop, since it is an image.
    Basically what you would do is create a path instead of a shape, found in the top tool bar when you use one of the shape tools.
    This path can then be turned into a selection this selection will be the only area affected, or better yet jump the selected area to a new layer then you can apply styles to that layer.
    ctrl-j (windows) cmd-j (mac) to copy the selection to a new layer
    ctrl-shift-j (windows) cmd-shift-j (mac) to move the selection to a new layer
    If you move the selection to a new layer, then you can slightly move the location a hare which can help in giving it a puzzle look.
    Any more questions about photoshop would be best posted in the photoshop forum. Photoshop General Discussion

  • I can't print to PDF from Illustrator CS3

    I have been using CS3 for a while now, but the last two jobs I have attempted to print to PDF with have failed. I get the message, "Can't Print the Illustration" and then the following error message:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidrestore; OffendingCommand: restore ]%%
    Stack:
    -save-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Can anyone PLEASE HELP!!!

    There's either an offending object or a corrupt font.
    You can try these:
    1. first make a copy of the file.
    2. Select All/Convert text to outlines and make PDF. Does that work?
    3. If not, start a new file. Copy and paste each item individually to the new file and try to make a pdf each time. You will soon work out the offending item.

  • Print to PDF from illustrator CS3

    CS3: In the Print dialog box, with Adobe PDF 8.0, I select the Printer Setup dialog box. Under the Layout pulldown menu I have PDF Options (settings) and Printer Features. Then select the print button to Save to File and name with the option to browse where you want the file.
    The Problem:
    Since I installed CS4, the PDF Options is no longer available in CS3 and Save to File does not come up, can not rename and no option to direct file. The pdf file does show up on the desktop. This is happening on 2 machines. Both running Mac OS 10.4.11. One is Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel and the other a Power Mac G5 dual. I have CS2 loaded as well on each of these.
    A third PowerMac G5 Dual which is using Adobe PDF 7.0 has the pdf options, renames and can direct, but the files get stopped in the Printer List (CS3). Starting Job again does not work. This happened also after installing CS4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Zuc,
    The problem is the lousy version CS4 that conflicts with the Lousy version CS3. I believe you have to uninstall Lousy version CS3 to make Lousy version CS4 work (or vise-versa).
    But you are not alone, PC users have the same experience (they are using the same lousy software):
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7e6db/0
    So you have to choose which version is less harmful. Is sad that Adobe is not longer reliable with new technology. Please let me know when CS4 gets an update. Thank you!

  • Trouble printing a gradient in Illustrator CS3

    Hi Guys,
    I'm having trouble printing a gradient via color seperation on a ecrm MAKO 36 image setter...
    I've uploaded a file. The top light blue border(gradient) will not print. If I take the gradient off it will seperate with no problems.
    I've tried using the compatible gradient & mesh printer settings but it doesn't make any difference.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    I looked at the file and found strange things about it. It has two groups of object that only have one object or path in the group and in each case the object has clipping path that does absolutely nothing I would eliminate the clipping by selecting them in the layers panel and deleting using the trash can in the layers panel.
    I would select all the art and in the attributes panel I would make the overprint options for both Fills and strokes set as uncheck, which is what I thin is causing the problem as there is no reason for an overprint.

  • How to find the CMYK,RGB color value in Illustrator CS3

    Thanks in advance,

    People have asked that before & I don't actually know. It seems pretty likely it's in the SDK somewhere though. I'd try searching the API folder for phrases that might relate to this and then investigate.
