47 tries is a lot but honestly this is one of those times where slowing WAY down helped me, @james533. I was stuck around the same spot and realized I was rushing through the id verification. Taking an extra 3 seconds to line up each box and wait for the green indicator cut my tries by a ton. Also make sure your lighting is consistent, overhead lights cause weird shadows that mess with the AI. Little tweaks like that got me through in under 10 tries after that.

actually DPI doesn't really matter for digital files the way most people think... it's PPI you want to worry about for print. DPI is for printers, PPI is for your image file. 72 PPI is the standard for screens, 300 PPI is what you send to a print shop. I made the same mistake when I first started selling prints on Etsy. A friend who works at a print shop explained it to me - your file just needs enough pixels total, the PPI setting is basically a tag telling the printer how big the image should be. If you had a 3000 pixel wide image at 72 PPI it would print at about 41 inches wide, but at 300 PPI it would be 10 inches. So you weren't just missing a setting, you were telling the printer to blow your image up way too big.

Nina "had a total change of heart" after her sticky mess - but did you actually find a better way to clean your chimney after that, or did you just go back to the old brush and shovel method? I burned through two different brands before giving up entirely, and now I just set aside an extra hour for the manual sweep. How long did it take you to clean up the spray residue compared to a normal cleaning?

Have you ever heard of something called "foam disease" turning into full liquid? I actually read a repair blog where a guy found a Canon F-1 that had its mirror damper foam dissolve completely and run down into the film advance gears. It basically glued the whole mechanism solid. The writer said it was way worse than dust because the liquid gets into places you can't even see without pulling the whole top plate off. Makes me wonder how many garage sale cameras have that exact problem hiding inside.

Did you ever find out who did it?
