In photoshop, after extracting, select the background & delete or do whatever you need. Use Selection>modify>expand to swell the selection onto the background a bit if necessary then. Use help>export transparency to get it saved as an eps that'll be placeable with the selection transparent.

Sure Glen- done! (anyone else wanting a copy, email me, I might forget to look here...!)

HI, email me if you'd like the manual- I have it as a pdf. However, I've run our camm-1 for years without the manual, and the answers to a lot of problems are not in it, nor are they at Roland, but you might likely find them here! If plotting from Win XP, use Free Y, if plotting from Win98se...

I've never used one, but a friend had one- he said the PC-60 uses tape as it moves, regardless of whether or not it prints that colour- but the PC-600 has a tape-saver ability so it only uses up what it prints. hth PS he now uses a 6 colour pro2.

Arlo- you've got yourself a deal!

Here's the WinXP driver for all that series of PNC plotters from Roland's site : http://www.rolanddg.co.jp/download/driver/drv_j/winnt4/d029270j.exe and here's the page it came from: http://dg4.roland.co.jp/en/down5oad.html (if you can't access that page then back up a few pages & click <I...

The roland drivers for the camm1 can be downloaded from Rolanddg.com- they're only a meg or so in size. Just probe around the site for legacy machines (old Camm-1 plotters), and your own operating system (w98, XP or whatever). Replies from them are not something I've ever received. You CAN...

I found a quick easy way was to open up flexi or Illy, and create the starburst in a vector format, manually if necessary, then cut & paste it from there into P'shop. That may seem crude but it works well. You can paste several times if needed, and you get a good sharp-edged starburst each time.

From memory, several of the old roland plotter drivers are somewhat interchangeable...so I heard somewhere.

I've heard from a few people who uninstalled the X3 demo later on, that their previous licensed working versions of Corel ceased to run normally and needed some repair or reinstallation to get back to normal. (I've not tried it myslef though.)

Thanks for that neat trick with the up & down arrows, Chuck! Actually I just do it by ctrl-clicking on the layer name in the layers palette- that turns its contents into a selection with marching ants. If anyone gets tired of the fact that a layer effect gets altered to a new outline after...

Otherwise I can help you with a manual for the PNC-1000, downloadable, just email me.

Some good stuff there thanks!

Fred, except for the tedium of rebooting, you could still set up a dual-boot system, and load win98 & Flexi 5.82 and use it till your heart's content! You'd need a fat 32 partition however, and a 'universal data storage' partition also in fat32 format. which can be accessed by XP as well as 98...

Howard Keiper knows what he's talking about- trust him, seriously!

Yes, Lance. They vary from $70ish to $110ish from The disc shop and other places. They're a useful item- you can plug any standard IDE hard drive into it, and the usb lead from the enclosure goes to your computer usb port. Win XP is recommended- with win98, you'll only get a really slow usb1...

Get yourself an external usb hard drive box/enclosure, and put the crook hd in that, so you can try & access it via usb from a good computer.

If worst comes to worst, I suggest downloading GetDataBack for NTFS- it's a great data retrieval program- about $50 to buy, free trial downloadable. But....you've not said if the drive is spinning when the box is turned on. I'm assuming it's invisible in MyComputer or Explorer? Try a System...

I can't get to the signsbydale website in Firefox nor IE. With or without the WWW, I get 'cannot be found' message.

Alternately, position the mouse over a part of the layer you want to be on, and ctrl-click, and you'll automatically be on that layer. Move it elsewhere, like over a bit of text & ctrl-click and you'll be on that text layer then.
