Old Stock II is the follow up to the popular set of actions from Borges Lettering called Old Stock.
"After 4 months of banging my head against the wall I finally cracked the code to making Illustrator produce a true 2 color highlight shadow. This has never been done before. I figured it was impossible but I did not want to give up. After many different prototypes I finally figured it out. I then took it a step further and had it produce 7 different true cast shadows. Next I figured out how to make Illustrator produce an inside shadow. All of this became Old Stock II."

I was far too hasty and a bit too angry when I made this review. I hadn't followed instructions properly due to tiredness, NO EXCUSE btw! I apologise to charles and have done so in an email. The actions are working like a dream. I feel embarassed at my knee jerk reaction and feel a jerk now. Sorry again Charles, thanks for the calm andf dignified response and your commitment to getting this working for me. David

It was not as easy as I had hoped. The creator was very helpful and nice and did his best to get the program going. It seems to work only with the pages he supplies. I may be not as great adding the files to my styles palette, I do not know for sure. It is likely operator error (me). I need to find the style sheets on these so I know which to choose. I still get some error messages when I hit play even with his page so there are some glitches with the program and my system. The Mac system is 10.14.6 and a 3.7 GHz core.

Hi Lorinda, Thank you for your purchase and taking the time to write a review. I am sorry you are having difficulties. The reason my supplied AI file works is because everything is pre-loaded for you. I hope you can eventually figure out how to load Graphic styles. I spent 4 months throwing every design variable at Old Stock II trying to break it. I have rewritten the actions countless times to streamline the actions as much as possible. I am proud to say my fonts and actions work 100%. If you would still like me to call you and walk you through it I would more than happy to. Happy Holidays Lorinda. Sincerely, Charles
