Black SS Trucks and SPW?

RE: Black SS Trucks and SPW?
Ok, so let's go over some basics and options. I use Inkscape to make my counters. From there I can make svg, pdf, and png files. I will give a brief description of the path for using each, you tell me the format you wan to work with.

  1. SVG would require Inscape, or a similar application, and that you have the Helvetica fonts on your system. If those elements are in place, duplicating and aligning the counters (rescaling if you desire) is quite easy. Inkscape however does not print directly very well, so I tend to export my countersheets as pdf's and print those.

  2. PNG is probably the easiest for you. I make the image and create a 300 or dpi image. You make lots of copies in a basic drawing app and print. PNG files scale downward well, but like all bitmapped images don't go upwards in scale. That is why the dpi of the images would be so high. Alignment an spacing my be difficult depending on your drawing app.

  3. PDF, we all can open those files. Unless you have Adobe CS, working with them directly is impossible. You would need to import the file into Inkscape or you snapshot the counter/page and use it as you would a png. The advantage her is scalability, the problem is that you cannot work directly with the counter file.

So which format would you like?
