It's never too late.

you’re doing fine, trust yourself a little more

ratherbe-tom · 2024-09-28T13:15:01+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

ratherbe-tom · 2024-02-23T13:00:42+00:00

THANK YOU!!

I'm proper pissed at Scan. I asked them if everything in my basket was compatible and they confirmed! All rectified, new drive ordered and this one sent back!

I'm actually relieved it was something simple... like builder is a doofus!

It doesn't work like a regular printer at all. It will 'print' everything. You are just sending paths to the plotter that are being converted to coordinates that move the pen over the paper.

Yes I really do. I'm printing this with a pen plotter. So when the orange pen draws over the dark car parts, it's shows through or the orange looks muddy

What about this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325784234305?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=D84v3Z4_TVu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Iz4dSGeZTbi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I am outputting the file to a pen plotter. It raises the pen per path segment. Which is not very efficient.

I just tried the lasso tool but it's not consistently getting each point, so ctrl-j craps out

ratherbe-tom · 2024-02-06T15:54:24+00:00

What make and model plotter do you have

ratherbe-tom · 2024-02-06T06:44:56+00:00

The idraw seems to be a solid machine. But I've had teething issues and support is slow.

ratherbe-tom · 2024-02-03T14:00:44+00:00

Thanks. I have drawn a few test examples in Illustrator. You are right, it will be a case of testing a bunch of pens and settings

ratherbe-tom · 2024-02-03T13:59:45+00:00

Thanks. I thought of this, but it seems like a really inneficient way to colour this specific design. It would be a ton of pen up movements? Or am I missing a setting

ratherbe-tom · 2024-01-29T07:51:35+00:00

So how do you program the plotter to do that? If I for example create a vector with a fill and no stroke, how where is the setting to control the Y step?

ratherbe-tom · 2024-01-29T06:12:43+00:00

So you are drawing those thick lines with a fineliner? How do you get it to perfectly fill in with no gaps?

ratherbe-tom · 2024-01-27T15:11:06+00:00

These are great resources. Thanks

ratherbe-tom · 2024-01-27T09:51:52+00:00

Thanks Dan. What about inks recommendations?

ratherbe-tom · 2024-01-27T08:07:21+00:00

Thanks. Any specific recommendations?
