One tool that works wonders in situations like this is the smart fill tool (looks like a tipping paintbucket). It is included in X3 and above. Instead of searching for an open path or a problem node, fill the problem object with the smart fill tool. Essentially it creates a new object from the...

G'day from Vancouver! Good luck with the signwriting...I picked up the brushes myself for the first time in about five years last week. I was a little rusty but it did come back just like riding a bike. - Boyd

I've had to move my SP540 several times over fairly short distances, usually a one hour drive. If the truck has a lift-gate we just roll it on after removing the media rollers and the brackets and then secure the printer with ratchet straps attached to the truck's box and to the printer stand...

I'd bet that if you posted in the Roland section of these forums with the headline "Roland 540-I Dimensions ?" somebody here would have one and be good enough to take some measurements.

Everybody seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYbBaKD0nLc Don't know about the longevity of the product but I suppose if you can afford some of the vehicles this company works on, that may not be a concern. - Boyd

If you can get to the manufacturer's website, all the specs for dimensions should be available for size and weight. - Boyd

I did this a year ago when I purchased a used SP540-V and had to move it from Calgary to Vancouver. I was driving a Honda Element at the time. I secured the head, removed and disassembled the stand and rollers, removed the ink bottle and plugged it and then just laid it inside the car with all...

Like I said earlier, I may have been too picky. That being said, I am a car nut and this was going on my own vehicle. In the end I went another route. - Boyd

Welcome from Vancouver!:Canada 2:

The job was to be white copy on a black background which was to be applied to a black truck. The text weight was quite fine and not a good candidate for vinyl lettering. Seeing as this was our own shop vehicle perhaps I was being overly picky about the white edge of the vinyl showing. In the end...

Doing some partial wrap work on our own shop truck which is black. Some elements of the job will be a full bleed black print that will leave an exposed white edge when cut and applied to the vehicle. What are standard techniques in this kind of situation...Sharpie? - Boyd

Have been using the Kooto for just over a week now and have some observations...I've found that I'm not getting the straight line accuracy I was hoping for. The aluminum extrusions in the assembly are proving to be a little light when cutting foam-cored pvc sheeting and I'm seeing off track...

Sorry Kelly, can't say as all I had to cut today was a large quantity of Coroplast signs. There are others on this forum with much more experience with the cutter than me. I can tell you though that it's simple, fast, accurate and safe. I once ended up in a hospital emergency room because of an...

Finally asssembled the Kooto Cutter and used it and my Big Squeegee for the first time. Super impressed with both products and will definitely be ordering more sizes of the BS! Don't know how I managed the past few decades without these things. - Boyd

I vote that we all now defer to Techman. Why bother offering input on anything, he obviously has all the answers.

I thought "Vector Doctor" was a service, not software? Give Vector Magic a try, developed at Stanford University...brilliant! I think they still allow free test drives. http://vectormagic.com/home

Geez if I knew everone was going to be so friendly I'd change names more often! You're all welcome to drop in although the film industry is a rollercoaster ride with either lots going on or not much at all, so it'll all be in the timing. Malkin, we did have quite a bit of fun with alien...

Thanks all!...glad to still be here.

Not really a new member, just changing my username to reflect what I do now. Formerly I was known as "stargategfx" as I ran the graphics department for MGM's Stargate television series for fifteen years. The show was cancelled a couple of years ago and I've been freelancing, working for several...

Another welcome from Canada. We were in Madrid, Granada and Motril in December. Beautiful country but expensive...the first 45 minutes we were in the country my wife was pickpocketed to the tune of about $1200. Two weeks later my daughter had her Iphone 4S stolen right off the restaurant table...
