I had a logo that I really wanted to engrave for a good customer but try as I might I couldn't make it work -- it had all manner of colors and I lack the expertise to make it a lineart file. Too much design so when I converted to grayscale and then reduced it, the logo was unintelligible. So I email Peter Bertrand. $9 and 24 hours later (not even!) I had an amazing file and I know my customer will be thrilled! I am a new member of the PB Fan Club! <hr /><a name="a1954_2"></a><p><b>From: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.2">#2</a>]<br /> 15 Sep 2005<br /><b>To: Lisa (TROPHYUSA)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.1">#1</a>] Unread</p> <p>I cannot tell you how much money Pete has saved me. He is the best <br /> It's rare that a week does not go buy that I send him some really nasty jpeg that he turn to clean art. I can do the vector trace work but I do not feel that it is economical for me to do it when I can be doing other work that I do much better with a lot more profit.

He is very quick to get it back to me and has always done a wonderful job! <hr /><a name="a1954_4"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.4">#4</a>]<br /> 10 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Another example of Pete's vectorizing magic. The top image is what I was given by the customer. I told Pete the image needed to be flattened and that I wanted vectorized spot colors. The bottom image is what Pete produced for me. All I could say was WOW!<br /> <br /> <img src="http://engravingetc.org/David_T/upload/16014widow.jpg" /><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 Jun 2006 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a1954_5"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.5">#5</a>]<br /> 10 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.4">#4</a>] 10 Jun 2006</p> David,<br /> <br /> Let me guess.

I'm happy to see Pete's gotten away from the one-price-fits-all approach. <hr /><a name="a1954_8"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.8">#8</a>]<br /> 10 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1954.7">#7</a>] 10 Jun 2006</p> <p>David,</p> <p>I've had some jobs like this that some services wouldn't touch.
