Slammer

Anyway I think I have found a workaround....
My plan is to use Affinity to create the files I want to cut out and then send them to the printers for printing. I will send the cut path to the printer and let THEM convert it to Illus88.

Thanks but sadly not really. By now I have figured out how to import and cut one bit files. That is not the big problem.
The really, rrrrealy big problem is the autofeed system, this thing here:
http://www.graphteccorp.com/product/f-mark2/index.html
It can take either Illustrator 88 one bit files (talk about a blast from the past) or EPS. Now I have done the obvious and exported EPS via Affinity and was able to find and click on the file to import it into the I-Mark software where the whole bally thing crashes. My hopes and dreams were centered on I-Mark being able to import EPS from Affinity....
I use a Mac and have used them since the OS came on three diskettes and I have used the I-Mark Software on a Mac in the past, so my bet was rather safe....
BUT!
It seems that the I-mark software for Mac is no longer available, not to download or to procure anywhere in the usual places, so I brought my creditcard to operating temperatures and sallied forth, on the hunt for a cheap PC. I found a nice little HP for 80 Euros and for the first time in my life I am owner of a DOS PC, (I think they call it "Windows" now a days though)
Anyway, got it set up, made a mini network via smb so that I can access Win 10 folders on my HighSierra and I can shovel files from my 2011 magic mac mini to the DOS-box, but I can´t open the Affinity EPS in I-mark.
It can do Illustrator 88 native files, or Coral Draw EPS, so why am I having such a problem with Affinity´s EPS. Encapsulated PostScript is Encapsulated PostScrip is it not?
Is there something in the EPS header that needs to change?
 
 
AAAARRRGH! SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR.

I will keep the brethren informed. Watch this space for the next gripping installment of:

Now you are just showing off.

Havn´t been here for a while, job and life taking just too much time. But recently I had two days and managed to fire up the Affinity for some aviation artwork.
For a while now I have had a P40 on my mind and thought it was as good a time as any. So here is my take on the great P40 Warhawk.
