Well I finally started to put my graphics on one of my vehicles today, It's not done yet, have a few more things to add.

Well everybody wants to start doing vinyl printing until they find out how much it costs for the equipment and the maintenance...

Do you have 'commercial vehicle' insurance? A lot of insurance companies declare, that when you badge your personal vehicle, with your business name, and stuff, it becomes a 'commercial vehicle'. Not picking you out flawless, this goes for anyone. Best to check with your insurance company. Just another way for them to deny your claim, if it ever arises. A commercial 'rider' doesn't/shouldn't, cost that much?

The last one with the orange I had to change the stacking order so all the lines would show. If that is what you need to cut I think you might have a rectangle that is above or on top of another. You need to make it be behind another object I guess. Vector objects can be in front of or behind other objects on the SAME layer.

A while back I had asked for some input on the best way to do a big check I was going to donate the work for the Ronald McDonald House for the kids. The car club had raised $3,000.00 and was presenting it to McDonald's. I love to give back when ever I can, and I see I am not the only one Shawn sent me a PM right away and offered to print it and ship it no charge. I am forever grateful and if I can ever return the favor just ask, they are going to love it. I just went to Walmart and picked up a cheap board and got done installing it... Thanks again Shawn you saved me lots of time trying to come up with something in vinyl as my printer wasn't big enough ... http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/51297-need-some-help-on-this-one/

When I look at it, I see multiple objects. Each of those objects will generate a cutting line. Here is what it looks like when I move the objects off to the side a bit, and color them, to give an exploded view. I suspect what you want is the red one at the bottom which is achieved using the union option in inkscape. SB has a way to union or weld also. Also is a link to the svg file. You should readily see this if you change the view mode in Inkscape to Outline. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c4lnd87n8n0xccr/AADDoMdEBA8mKulvJuPrLzS9a?dl=0 Just in case it still isn't clear, here it is again with the objects given an orange outline so you can see were the cutting is likely occurring. It would likely not be cutting double, but in multiple places.

While working with the LP2, I've had to get used to the specific spots where the pinch rollers align with the grit rollers. (On the MH and SC units, the grit rollers are all along the width of the machine, but with the LP2, there are set positions, and the pinch rollers must be placed at those points ONLY) On the front of the machine, there are stickers marking where those points are located. However, as I load vinyl from the rear, and lean over to place the vinyl, I decided that having marks along the top rail (visible from above) would assist me in sliding the pinch rollers so they come into contact with the grit rollers at those specific (1" wide) spots. Pictures attached to see my method. Hope this helps others.

I did follow through with the first suggestion, I changed it to HPGL on the machine and that is when I got the error message on my machine that I posted a picture of. I was unaware of needing to change it in the software program too. She then told me to change it in the software too and it fixed my issue, so I DID follow through with her instructions from the very get go. Mz Skeeter - I thank you again for your help!!

Hot Damm!!!!! I could kiss you all!!!! Thank you so much!!!! The HPGL needed to be set in the software as well as the machine!!!!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!!!

it works perfect, I have had no issues as of yet....
