    Fonts free for commercial use...

    Thank you for your links. I am installing a module on my prestashop E-shop to allow customers to visually add images or text on a T-shirt, this module uses Google fonts. Then i just discover Google propose some fonts, nothing is really fantastic but they are free for commercial use : Browse Fonts - Google Fonts https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#can_i_use_any_font_in_a_commercial_product Here is the module : Ecommerce product customizer for visual custom products. | Kickflip (gokickflip.com) With the demo for example : T-Shirt – Kickflip Product Configurator Examples (gokickflip.com) --------------------------------------- leticasanova.fr

    What to get? (Heat Press Setup)

    Sorry, when answering i mistake and answered to another similar question : ------------------------- Leticasanova.fr

    Heat press pillow

    Hello, by my side i do not use this kind of pillow as i was not sure of the density, and then was afraid to lose too much pressure. I purchased silicon pads 8mm (format 12" x 15" / 30cm x 38cm) for 25€ each. It's almost the same density as the press pad. It does not perfectly absorb the buttons or zip, but you can cut a groove or lunge (translator) for your polo shirt collars for exemple. ------------------------- Leticasanova.fr

    Plotter problem

    Ho ! Thanks for the tip, looking for the word "ground" on the forum there are a lot of information. By my side i encounter no problem but by security i will connect my plotter stand to my steel desk stand (or "legs"), even if my plotter is already connected to the power ground and to the stand (yellow cable). Grounding without a Stand - MH Series Vinyl Cutters - USCutter Forum Another way to ground your cutter - General discussion - USCutter Forum I did not imagine what kind of problems we can encounter if we don't ground the plotter : my plotter does not cut and has no pressure - MH Series Vinyl Cutters - USCutter Forum ------------------------- Leticasanova.fr
  8. I've tried different vector software, and so far, I've found that Inkscape produces the cleanest results, truer to the raster image than other vector engines. The only other software that I found to be better is Vector Magic, but Vector Magic is not free, but it can do colors. You can give this a try since you're getting into embroidery: https://inkstitch.org/
  9. Thanks a lot, i have already installed the program but the drawcut (vinylmaster) was from now the easiest and fastest way. I have also to use inkscape has i i am start embroidery and the embroidery software is a bit light in vector process. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Leticasanova.fr

  11. an alternative would be to post one of the files, so another forum member can try cutting it and seeing what kind results we get. i agree with skeeter to see if another software will do the same thing.
  12. Did you ever try a different cutting software other than Studio 2? That way you can figure out hardware or software problem. Signcut has a trial. Sure cuts a lot has a trial.
  13. The files I'm using are 1 color and I've tried many files. Now it just doesn't cut the entire file. These are SVG files I've used for years with the Cameo 3, Cameo 4 Plus, & Cameo 4 Pro with no problems at all. I'll be calling US Cutter tomorrow but have a feeling ill end up speaking to someone at Graphtec America before I get a resolution.

    [Hello, how can I deactivate my Sigmaster from another computer? My PC was stolen and I don't remember my email.] Póngase en contacto directamente con el fabricante del software para ello. [Contact software manufacturer directly for that.]

    hola como puedo desactivar mi Sigmaster de otro ordenador' me robaron la PC y no recuerdo mi correo
  17. Not sure if it applies to this software or not, but will have multiple layers of the graphic cause it to cut multiple times? I know that SBE does, which comes in might handy for me at times.
  18. I don't have that cutter but I do use that software. Post the file if you can and I'll take a look at it. Are there multiple colors in the design? If you don't have the settings right, that can cause unexpected results.
  19. Without seeing the cutter file and your settings in Graphtec Studio2, would have no idea, unless you have multiple passes checked in the cutting software. Very few volunteers here answer questions and very few have a Graphtec. And I don't know of anyone who has a Ce7000 or Graphtec Studio 2. Have you tried a different cutting software to rule out the Graphtec Studio 2 as the problem? Several trials out there. File could be posted as long as it is not a violation of Copyright. Post in .eps format.
  20. I recently upgraded from a Cameo 4 Pro to the Graphtec CE7000-60. I got everything set up, my test cuts are good, it's not going through the backing paper on the vinyl and just leaving a little etching on it. I noticed that when I send my file to the plotter from Graphtec Studio 2 the plotter cuts and then it comes back and goes over the same cuts again, then again, and again. Last time I cut a file it went over the same cuts so much it went through the backing paper. It also doesn't cut the entire file. So I thought maybe it was the file and wanted to make sure it didn't have any double lines, so I created the design again in Graphtec Studio 2, again, it cut some of the file, but not all of it and then it stopped and it was ready for another job. Am I missing something? I've been through the plotter manual and the Graphtec Studio 2 manual, but I can't find anything on this. I love how fast and quiet this cutter is, but I need to be able to crank out my vinyl graphics and right now I still have to use my Cameo. Help!

    Graphtech studio 2

    You must show that you made a purchase of a newer Graphtec cutter it looks like. Fill out and register. I had never looked at the ad before, When I got the Graphtec Pro Studio, I had to register and they sent me the activation code in an email. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/register-gs2 If you got your cutter new, you should have gotten the Graphtec Pro Studio, which is over $1000 for windows, made by SAI (Flexi)
  22. Hi. I have a CE6000-60 plotter and I'm wanting to use graphtech studio 2. But it's saying I need an activation code. How do I get that?
  23. Excellent advice. Mahalo!
  24. Try converting the live text after writing it out and at that point it will be an object and you should be able to nail the size. I use SignCut Pro 1 (the old original) and I have to convert all my text anyway. That's why I asked the question. If the 3" object was spot on it pretty well has to be something to do with the interpretation of the text. If working on something that will need revised later I save a working file with some live text saved over on the side so I can recreate the overall thing if needing to modify. Then I save a cut file with the text all converted.
  25. I'm not impressed with the program either, but I use it in a bind or if I'm just cutting simple text. Though now I know that it cannot be trusted to give me accurate test sizes
  26. I've not been impressed with the Studio program for design. I use Inkscape for design and just use Studio for cutting.
  27. Got it. Thanks! not sure why it needs to be that hard. I typed out all caps, and thought it would the right size. Maybe I should be considering SCALP
  28. Thank you. I must have totally missed that

    Looking for advice for new cutter

    Have you considered buying used? A Graphtec FC 8000-8600 or 9000 is better than any cutter you posted. Built like a tank. And has the channel in the front for perf cutting. Plus dual place for blade holder. Many times if you have the money, can be purchased cheaper than a new CE7000-60. The FC cutters have great tracking and more force than the CE units as well as the pinch rollers have adjustable pressure. I don't have a recommendation on your list. The CE7000 is just not preforming up to the standards of the Ce6000 and previous CE units. Is now made in a different country than before. I don't know anything about the others on your list.
  30. Hi all, We recently upgraded our Silhouette Cameo 3 to a Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro because we'd like to improve our workflow. We previously did everything on A4 which worked at the beginning but after attending more and more events, the manual labor got too intensive. We invested in an A1 printer with the idea that we could upscale our production. Since the Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro could cut up to 24” materials and we were used to its little brother this seemed like the best upgrade since we had a good experience on the smaller scale. However, we soon experienced quite some issues when print and cut feature since we upgraded to the Pro. It works decent enough on the A4 papers, but on anything bigger than that it just won't keep alignment across the page. It starts off well, the first row will be mostly fine. Somehow the second row is completely off and it only gets worse the further it goes. But it seems like it pulls it through too fast or doesn’t manage to recognise the size of the material. We tried perf cutting the stickers in the hope we could do it without a mat to save time. When cutting without a mat the material kept crumpling between the wheels and the blade. It seemed to have too much distance between the roller and the knife without enough material support to overcome the pushing force between the wheels and the blade. Our workload consists of mostly: - 24” wide laminated Polypropylene - Die cut stickers, so an optical eye is a must for alignment/contour cutting. We looked at a Graphtec CE 7000-60 which seems to work ish, but still wouldn’t be able to work without a carrier sheet. Without a carrier sheet cutting seems to work okay when kiss cutting the material. But when perf cutting we’ve observed the same problem as the Silhouette Pro had, it started to crumple the material. Our ideal situation would be when we could get rid of cutting with a mat since that would save tremendous amounts of labor. A possible alternative would be a flatbed cutter, however, for 24” there does not seem to be an option within our budget. There is a smaller sized one, the Silhouette Curio 2 which may be an option but ideally we would want to support at least 24” materials. A list of options we have considered: - Graphtec CE7000-60 - Roland VersaSTUDIO GS2-24 - Silhouette Curio 2 (which can do 12”x12”) - Silhouette Cameo 5 Plus (15”) - Siser Romeo (24”) Budget is about +- 2500 euros. Does anyone have advice on a good match for us? Thank you!
