  1. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    Well I have narrowed down the offenders. Without realizing it I had over 100 blends in the drawing and vectors with LOTS of nodes. Looks like eliminating the blends will help alot! Whoops, lesson learned I guess.
  2. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    Well I have not seen a eyedropper tool in versa so I am not sure how this would be accomplished. I can tell you with certainty that the file is that size. Nothing was rasterized as the file was built. They are very complex vectors with lots of nodes also. It is a original document that I built.
  3. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    Can you elaborate on this? I have never done it and not even sure where its at in versa.
  4. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    Yes the quality is very much needed as people will walk up to the panel within inches.
  5. versa works and corrupt pdf

    Anyone know or had this happen before? Anytime I save a file from Illustrator as a .PDF and try to load it into versa it says corrupt file. No drop shadows, transparencys, just a gradient. Never had this with pdf files.
  6. Head Cleaning Solutions

    I have never used it, but Nazdar inks work fine in the machines so I dont see why the cleaning solutions wouldnt? I always use a 3rd party cleaning solution on my xc540 and have never had troubles.
  7. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    Ok, Final output size of the artwork is 180" Wide by 100" tall. The RIP is Versa. File is 780mb The main problem is I have realized now is that there is transparencies and spot colors. Also gradients and a few drop shadows. Of course the transparencies are showing the white areas around them...
  8. Illy vectors and rasterizing vs scaling down and quality

    I have a rather large file in Illy that has alot of effects in it and a gradient background. All vector no raster images. This is where I start to get lost. Would it be better to scale it way down and then tell the rip to upsize it OR would it be better to build it at full size, flatten and...
  9. illustrator gradient question

    Thanks all. I got it looking pretty similar to Sandmans and the client is fine with it. Good thing your opinion, nor my opinion counts. Only the client thats dishing out the money for it............
  10. illustrator gradient question

    Only thing I am trying to copy is the comapnies colors which does not include green. It is what they want on a background for a wrap. I completely understand that it will produce green, just trying to figure out if there is a way of eliminating it. Thought someone may have a illustrator trick to...
  11. Need Help Getting service call 0102 on Roland XC-540 SolJet

    I have seen that service code number before but do not rememeber what it was. Was the machine operating when it popped up or when it is turned on?
  12. Needing opinions on the best way to accomplich this

    Putting down the printed media, some cast stripes and then the overlam would probably work. May have to do a test on this. I ahve traced many things with illustrator via that method. Sometimes a pain in the rearend and lot of extra work. And yes I do believe each of them are slightly off from...
  13. Needing opinions on the best way to accomplich this

    I use versa to rip/print and cutmaster with the graphtec. I think more of my consern is not so much the cutting/printing but more of getting the top arc to match the wood frame thats already there. It was all hand built (without any fancy tools) so I am sure the top half circle is not perfect...
  14. illustrator gradient question

    Not sure how to accomplish this as I dont use gradients much but in this instance I need to. This is probably a easy task for most. I have a rectangle with a 4 color gradient in it. dark blue, blue, yellow and red. The problem is between the blue and yellow there is a natural area of green. How...
  15. Needing opinions on the best way to accomplich this

    I thought of that but he doesnt want a raised edge for it to start rolling up later. Asked for 1 solid piece of vinyl. I have a graphtec 8600
  16. XC540 sheet cut question/issue

    I failed to update this as to what the issue was. The bracket where the 2 screws hold the cutting mechanism on had slightly loosened and allowed the assembly to turn just a fraction. After straightening it up and doing the limit initization again it now works perfect. Not sure how I missed those...
  17. Needing opinions on the best way to accomplich this

    Hello all, I have a client that wants floor graphics printed with a 4" border. I hate borders because if the piece isnt perfect then the border looks bad. Hopefully I can explain this well enough. He has 6 plywood framed bases that are 5ft wide and in the shape of a basketball court freethrow...
  18. XC540 sheet cut question/issue

    see this on how to do it. http://www.dencosales.com/files/Download/VP%20LimitPos%20Initialize%20User.pdf I have tried new blades, limit intilaization 5 times or so and same thing. Will not cut completely through the backing paper. Any other ideas or suggestions?
  19. Versaworks ( Corrupt file )

    I have had that with complex files but could you tell us what the issue was?
  20. XC540 sheet cut question/issue

    HEy all, My 540 has started to not completely cut through the sheet when sheet cutting. The carriage goes all the way to the left (it seems) and the bar is pushed to put the blade down but is just seems there isnt enough pressure or the bar isnt getting pushed in enough to actually drop it down...
