It's all good bud  ;D

I need to ask, as it looks like it's a 'paitned' CP do I full colour it or you wanting it as is (with the black gaps) ??? I'll colour a section and send it to you and see  :)

What technique do you use to Half Tone?

Do you build up a load of circles (blending a line of circles then creating lots of lines of those circles) and create a clipping mask over it? I used that technique and when I resize the vector the colours royally f*ck up!

Example of my Rolling Thunder marquee resized. See how his trousers and the enemies mask screw up:


When output at the original size it looks superb....

Dex? Answering this will really help me out the CPO has loads of Halftone on it. Does your technique scale well?

I checked again, and I am now convinced this _is_ a vinyl CPO !

I scraped away a little part at one of the bolt holes near the joystick and it's definitely bare metal under it. I already thought so because of the structure, a metal CPO doesn't have a structure like that. It's just very thin vinyl.

If I understand correctly, you mean the black gaps in the structure ? It looks somewhat like a fingerprint...

I guess it would be best to completely fill the colors. The new vinyl on which it will be printed has it's own structure and I'll be fine with that.

Don't know if I already mentioned this, but all the holes around the joystick can be filled up. My end-goal is to have no holes there anymore. Originally there were 4 of those holes. Clearly, they later changed the joystick that needed to be mounted at an angle compared to the original and so they made those extra holes. The original holes were simply filled up with a bolt and nut.

It all looks ugly IMHO. I will mounting an original Midway Pac Man joystick in there.

Anyway if you could mail me an example I would know for sure I guess :D

Yes to the finger print type of thing  :D So full colour then, cool.

I'll e-mail you a sample later today and if you are happy then I'll continue :-)
