So my head rests are going to run $195 . . . will be cheaper if I can get the Type S in a bitmap file. Does anyone have this? If so, can you send it to me?

Thanks.

 

the earth says hello...

 

what?

 

I think he is asking if someone has the TypeS logo in a bitmap file.

 

that is what i am asking, but what the heck does "the earth says hello" mean?

 

No idea what that means, but I came across a pic of the TL TypeS emblem, hope that helps: http://www.leftlanenews.com/cars/ima...ura-tl-type-s#

 

no idea... i tried reading it 5 times and i still didn't understood your post.. but anywho.. why do you need a bitmap of the type s logo?

 

LoL!


A bitmap is a type of graphic composed of pixels (picture element) in a grid. Each pixel or "bit" contains color information for the image. Bitmap graphics formats have a fixed resolution which means that resizing a bitmap graphic can result in distortion and jagged edges.

Some common bitmap formats are GIF, JPG or JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PICT, PCX, and BMP. Photo-editors or image-editing such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo-Paint are designed for creating and editing bitmap graphics.

OK, it's time to charge for such lessons

 

You will need to have a vector graphic in order for them to print/stitch without loss of quality.... But if you have a large enough image of what you want, you can always convert it in Illustrator.

Good Luck.

 

I need the bitmap file to provide the shop to do my head rests. they will create their own, but i have to pay for that.

 

Are you sure it's not just the tape charge?

 

Krafcik, do you know basic Photoshop?

Find a high resolution Type-S emblem (or take a photo of yours), on a transparent layer, paste the image, cut it to edge, save as CMYK.... This is the first step, 2nd step requires to you vectorize the image.. This is what the shop is offering to do for the $$$.. What is vectoring? It will basically allow the shop to losslessly enlarge image and dpi.

Tell the shop to stop being lazy, and that you have a Acuzine awaiting on the results

 

what is that about?

 

Puff, Puff, Pass man! Don't be greedy, give to the needy

 

no clue on photoshop.

i'll just let the shop drum it up

 

come over dudeeeee... we can puff puff together.. hahaah

 

I have a vector graphic of both the 2nd and third gen type S logos I made when I was selling type s decals. Took me a long time to make them though. What do you need these for? I dont get it.

 

Krafcik...are you going ahead with this project? If you get the bitmap file, you said it will cost less. Did they say how much less? As you and I have PM'd, $195 is what I was quoted here in KC too. mmade felt that was a pretty fair price. I'm just not sure if I want to spend almost $200 on this. Where do you stand on yours?

 

i gave the shop the green light. The middle section of the leather is being replaced, stiched with the logo, then re-sewn to the headrests.

I don't know how much cheaper future headrests will cost, but i will find out for sure.

 

Good for you!! I'm VERY anxious to see your pictures once they're finished. Did they quote you a price with a bitmap logo provided to them?

 

I'm anxious to see the finished product for sure.

 

^^^^^ ditto.

 

 

cant wait...

 

save a pic as a .bmp

 

 

Hey,

Make sure you quote your source if you start charging for lessons.
