    I'm a one woman show . I live alone and work from my home.  I can do 28" wide  up to unlimited length,  most of my graphics are  20" wide x  10-14ft long,  I do fullside vehicle graphics.  That is my main niche'.  Not every piece of equipment is suitable for everybody. Everybody has their  own certain way of doing things.  Just like not everybody is suitable to do decals. And others don't want the cost.  But this piece of equipment works great for me, for doing large graphics by myself. and I like it really well. and have used them for over 4 years.   This is what I started with.  I can then use my whole 8ft table, and not have anything attached to it.  I'm just saying it works for me.  :huh:

    not heavy at all.  it weighs (24" )  2.8 lbs,    30" 3lbs.  I just weighed both.  How can that be heavy? And it is on rollers.. It's aluminum, I don't run my tape under the roller,  I run it over the roller,  and out the back,  You can see it on my picture with decal.  I love it.

    I setup my CE5000-60 and was playing around with ROBO and contour cutting on the attached image.

    I had a couple of newbie questions.

    1) Is there any type of manual for Robo Master Pro?

    2) When I created the outline on this image it outlined each individual section and I assume if I cut it, it would cut around each section. Is this the what its suppose to do?  I see where this would be handy so you wouldn't have to cut different color vinlys and line-up.

    3) What I was expecting (right or wrong) was that the it would just outline the outer edges of the graphic, so it would have been a one piece decal. If the output from step 2 is what is to be expected, is there a way to cut just the outer edges?

    As I was writing this, I'm thinking maybe my orginal expectation was incorrect, I was thinking it was going to give me a one piece decal and just cut the outer outline and not each individual piece of the graphic.

    Thanks

    I've googled, tried, etc..

    I'm looking, for example, to arch an image down so it will contour to a windshield but I have yet to figure it out. I've tried with photoshop, flexi, and inkscape.

    I can do text, I'm just trying to figure out how to do an whole image.

    Any insight would be nice.  :huh:

    Didn't you get a book with your Adobe Illustrator?  Mine is over an inch thick,  I have CS2

    yes.  I would be lost without it.  Here is a picture of a large decal  I did using the Maskrite,  you can just keep  taping as far as you want.  and you can put it away, It does not take up room on the table. and It is not heavy,  Will hold any tape up to 24" or 30" whichever you purchase. Shown is 24" roll I'm using, with no problem and by myself.
