    Oh awesome. I looked on you tube and maybe not putting it in the correct way to pull up video but i couldn't find anyone using the bezier tool in VM maybe called something else. I did however figure out how to pull more colors out when i vetrorize and last night was able to do a different graphic that i wanted as just the words and no back ground it came out really nice im happy with it. this is the before and after. I also made this for another box of mine. I fly Radio control and the last one is my Charging case.

    Whats the trick?

    maybe be sure to start the tape in center and work out? i never had mine curl up like your staying what tape you using? i use medium right now its the paper kind ive got clear on order if it ever shows up
  7. Thanks, Well I put the brown /teflon paper on the bottom of the heat press and pressed the front image on both shirts they both look great. maybe i should get another teflon sheet to go on the inside of the shirt also. This is my shirt. I fly Radio control planes. I have the big logo on the side of my truck it turned out nice.
  8. Thank you for the reply, Ive got the back of both shirts finished. the logo on the back is full size 9 inches tall by 12 wide. the thing on the front would just be the name on the left size then her shirt she wants a Pocket sized image put on it.. i'm suppose to use the teflon sheet on top right? is that same as the heat cover sheet i got sorry still learning names of all this stuff
  9. okay so i was working from a picture a friend gave me yesterday, i vetroized it and it looked good but the color was black and white to start with so trying to cut by color wouldnt work. i guess it wouldn't pick out the light black and light white anyhow the image was a castle with a design in the center.I ended up cutting a white and black of the whole image just to get the inside piece out to put it in the white image is there a way in the soft ware to be able to like draw a box around the inside image just select it and cut just that image? hope this makes sense. this isn't the first time i wish i could do this..
  10. Thanks, sorry not been on much lately lots been going on.
  11. Okay, Im not sure if i am the only one who sometimes in weeding there vinyl they just cut that sometimes letters peel up and just dont want to stay down or couple times i didn't even realize i was peeing up some of my letters or words.so i have just been re cutting what is needed but when we go to peel it off the new cut and place it on the original cutting sometimes they just refuse to stick to it, is there something i can do to make it stick? i cut out the other day a Red Dawg for my truck ( My old CB handle) and the Red and D did great but the W in awg messed up so i just re cut the whole AWG cause the font i had they were connected together. but with it i just cut it way down and took some clear packing tape folded it over itself and stuck to the vinyl backing lined it up then put the transfer tape over the whole thing that worked out really good doing it like that but lots of time it just be a single letter in a word or something. any advice. besides being sure that when weeding all letters stay down.. not sure why some weed really good and others don't. Thanks

    Okay about to do first shirt any advice

    If not then the grandmother doesn't know there names i sent her every file i made to make sure she liked them and was happy. That makes sense.. Never thought about that so this should been maybe 9-10 inches long. That you all, its what the customer wants... I'm not to try to tell them different.. Thanks for the chart i will keep that handy
  14. i don't know why I am so nervous about making a shirt. I guess cause I don't have much HTV. and well the shirt i want to put on only have one.. I need to practice but really didn't buy enough HTV to practice. im just making two names 2.5 inches tall and 11 inches long.. not tiny but not huge i guess either these are going on 4T white shirts for a friends granddaughters. I didn't expect to get a order already. all i have to do before cut is tell it to Mirror correct? get the heat press hot.. i can do a pre heat the shirt for couple secs right to get out wrinkles. then just put the HTV on the shirt where i want it to be. then put the cover sheet back on top and press for 10-15 secs @305f degrees Then peel the top off and yoru finished.. did i miss anything, any tips? A video i watched the guy sat the HTV on top of the bottom of the heat press to help weed it easier.

    Okay about to do first shirt any advice

    Thanks, yeah I did do that one thing i like about VM is you can print straight from it to my Printer. Well she wanted it all way across the front. okay so i just cut the first name and it was trying to buckle up some when it went to do the box around the words it got bad wrinkled up.. my machine is on 100 I bumped it from 93 to103 force cause the first test cut didn't cut clean lines

    How much pressure do you cut with?

    Thank you for the examples
  21. eprcvinyls

    How much pressure do you cut with?

    Im not sure, just the boxes you can check and the numbers the Blade offset default its on 0.20 and the overcut is 2.00 blade type:drag knife 45degree advanced after plot.... i really not sure what any of that is im using the red blade that came with the machine.

    How much pressure do you cut with?

    WOW you run it that fast w/o issues.. Ive got my SC2 at 100 speed and about 92 force. im new but seems okay. im wondering for me if there any settings inside the VM i should change.
  23. hey everyone, I am really wanting to cut some multi color items out one being the USA flag I found a video about vectoring the flag and it picks out the 3 colors but for some reason when i do it its only showing Blue and red not the white. on that page the White has a big X all way across it, am i doing something wrong or i need a different picture before it do it? I hope someone can help me, I really want to understand how to do things like this.. I like a Flag on a decal Im going to make.. Also how can you take a Image ( I have a Eagle ) I would like to put the flag inside of the Eagle to make him look like that.. Im sure wedding and lining up colors no fun but i hope I can learn to do that.. At least i think it can be done i seen a lady on utube doing it with a Cameo 3. Also, can someone recommend clear transfer tape I got the greenstar layflat classic tape and it is very very hard almost inpossible to see what i am putting my decal on when im doing a back ground behind my words. Thanks Guys and Gals.
