39mm spot vector graphics (useful for Tina/Anita cards mold?) (3 Viewers)

Finding this thread, noticed my edge spots were progressively slightly off because edge images resized to have overlap by Tina by a small bit (few mm).

Not a big deal and very minimal, but this still the correct dimensioning/people using this vs just 2*pi*r?

Did you use my updated version?
 
When creating ceramic chips, I always use trigonometry to calculate the spots width, etc.

todo:
-add more edge spot patterns
-add an alternate set with roughened edge spots (to mimic clay imperfections)

After many years of inactivity, I'm getting back into going down this rabbit hole and @Colquhoun just turned me on to this thread and your file. Thanks you for all your hard work, work in-progress and saving me from having to reinvent the wheel. I made these but haven't gone through the learning curve of how to figure out the length of the edge spots on the rolling edge.

Total length = 2 x pi x r -> pi x 39 (for 39mm chips)

For the second one it's easy. It's the total length / 3.

For the first one, it involves more trigonometry and depends on the width of the spot at 6 o'clock.
 
I am trying to put this together so when someone builds a Paulson chip in the Paulson Utility, it can converted to a Vector .AI size that someone can use to build the chip.

Is there a conversion table that coverts the name of the Paulson Edge spots to the physical size, shape and location of the Edge spot on the chip? example, like Edge Spot Style 5 (312), you can perform a table lookup that indicates the physical size, shape and location of the Edge spot on the chip?

Does something like that Exists? Does a template already exist for Adobe Illustrator for each chip? or an Inkspace template?

OP updated with latest file.

Biggest addition that folks might find useful is that I've begun creating a giant swatch of the Pantone colors the Alibaba cards mold sellers use based on the attachment from this post. I subscribed to Pantone Connect which allowed me to get the exact Pantone colors used in the swatches. This will allow folks without access to the exact Pantone colors to easily sample from the swatches in this file.

I'm about halfway through all the colors in this latest version of my template file. I'm hoping to finish up the rest in the next week.

Hope someone finds this helpful... enjoy!

Hey @eightyWon this is godly work. Is it possible to upload a google drive link to the original at all? PCF seems to compress the images

How do we know what colours will print accurately
And if two similar colours are too close and get printed the same

Check out @Cratty s thread about Tangiers and the Quest for a Tina hybrid faux inlay Link to his tread

On the first page you'll see the color wheel samples he sent as input & on the second page the samples he received.
Red/Purple/Orange hues seem to be very close too one another even though the provided colors seemed different enough.
 
Also, save yourself the headache of color matching with Tina if you are doing hybrids. They will not be able to match your blank colors to your labels. You either have to settle for ‘not even close’ or print and apply your own labels (or hire someone stateside) if you want the labels to match your blanks.

I should note that these pantone colors were provided from Tina to a forum member a few years ago, represented as being the colors they support.

Since then, others have found that either wasn't necessarily accurate or that it's at least no longer accurate.

Anyway, ymmv with these colors and official Tina "support".

There's more info somewhere here on the forum about this, might search for it later when I'm not on mobile.

Just wanted to bump these for more visibility, too, just for clarity on the colors from my template file. I'm not sure how much use they even are anymore since there doesn't really seem to in fact be officially supported colors.

Feedback welcome on if it's even worth keeping the swatch in the file, or if it just creates confusion.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I import it into illustrator (old version 4) I have trouble using the file because a lot (but not all) of the chips have a clipping path the size of the whole sheet in their group. When I try to select a single chip everything gets selected. I can't just grab a chip and copy it to another file.

It took me a few minutes just to delete all the colour swatches. Which should be a 2s job.

Maybe there are some key hold downs or something about isolation mode that I don't know about.

Any tips? Anyone.

As you mentioned, it’s likely an issue with the older version of Illustrator. I’m using the current version and the pdf opens fine and doesn’t group the chips.
If you want, I can save the chip section as an Illustrator 4 file, just send me a PM
