What size are the move list inserts on candy cabs?
« on: May 25, 2012, 09:06:45 am »
My new cab will have a moves list holder.

Is there a standard size?
  
The moves lists will be printed from a 4" x 26' roll of photo paper, so they'll be limited to 4" tall.
I'd like to make the artwork available for whoever wants to print their own too,
so it might make more sense to make them a standard size instead of the full inside width of my cab (30.5").

They will basically just be resized scans of original artwork if available.

Are you talking about the space that's just above the CP?  I think it varies from candy to candy.

Yeah. 

Thought maybe there was some kind of consistency to them.
Would still like to know the dimensions and how they compare from one to the other.

Just don't want to make them all 30.5" long if everyone elses move list holder was only an inch or two shorter.
It would be a simple matter to resize them, but I figured while I was doing it, it might as well be in a way that others can use.

I guess the other question is -
Is anyone else actually interested in printing out move lists in this format?  (4"x ??")

It can be a PITA finding a printer setup to print longer things.
I can do it with an HP photosmart in XP, but the functionality was removed for the Vista and Win7 drivers.  :angry:
So I'll be printing these from my jukebox  :lol
(hopefully, I haven't tried it with 4" wide paper yet)

EGRET II: 530 x 55 mm (approx. 21 x 3 inches) / the size of the glass
SEGA ASTRO CITY etc (I'm pretty sure all SEGA candy's use the same size): 480 x 75 mm / visible area under glass excluding glass holders

Thanks, I appreciate it.  :cheers:

I don't think I want to go that small, so I'll just make them to suit by cab and people can resize them if they want.
(doesn't seem to be much interest anyway)

I'd be interested in seeing how they turn out.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
