cutme 5 Posted February 9, 2009 i just took a quick look at your graphic. while it looks ok on the surface, it is kinda rough. that is to say; it has lots of excess nodes and the lines and some corners are not very smooth. maybe someone else here can take some time to clean it up for you. i recommend you open the image and zoom in on it. look at the lettering up close. switch between wire frame and solid views. look at it up close in node editor mode. i think your plotter is overloading on the information it is getting from your image. hope this helps. bb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 11, 2009 I assume you are using USB? Do you have the the option of switching to the serial or parallel? Sometimes stuff like this happens with USB, the connection type doesnt like large jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
