OOooo! Panini Press, oh yes! Wait, the George Foreman Grill guys don't make a heat press?

nope - betting a heat press manufacture makes them = = = maybe next we can see some panini presses too - at a reasonable price I might consider one

They have Studio for Mac and Studio Pro for the Windows side, so I have both! Win!! So many options now - plugin to cut directly out of AI (on Mac and Win), GS on Mac, GPS and SB (Win). So awesome!!

It finally came in! Woohoo! I picked it up a few days ago, but due to the husband unplugging the tv/internet cable booster (unbeknownst to me), lack of internet issues - I wasn't able to get everything situated as quickly I would have like to. I'm finally back online and am trying to hit the ground running. I am ridiculously impressed by the graphtec. It didn't take me very long to figure out how to cut using the Graphtec Studio on the Mac OS X, and then via Sign Blazer on the Win7 (Parallels) side. I'm totally stoked that I can now cut in both environments. I'm amazed at how much quicker it cuts than the LP, and how much quieter - although I will admit that the fan on the LP didn't really bother me a whole lot. This is awesome!! Mahalo to everyone who guided me to make the right decision!

here it is after doing that and weld by color to get rid of the extra in the middle of the letters MPS2.eps

Jen, right click on the graphic and click "unmask" - delete that mask layer and it will be the right size - must be the way it was made

you did download the studio pro and not the old studio - right? betting you are in heaven right now with the new plotter. smooth and quiet

Umm ... am I missing the connection to vinyl, custom, signage, etc.?

As a rule, weeding letters is done from right to left and numbers from left to right. Also, if your weeding doesn't leave the letters on the backing, then it's possible that your blade is tearing the vinyl and not slicing/clean cutting. Make sure the blade is not jammed up with small shreds of vinyl and that it freely spins (a drop of sewing machine oil in the bearing is a good thing) I see no reason to slow down a cutter speed from the max setting. The faster the better, IMO.
