    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    I had never clicked that before. just normal veiw on the mat and the preview. I understand the color don't matter. I just want to make sure its going to make the words look like on that car the letters are in full not just outlined. I zoomed in to 50% to see this... this is show outlines. not sure what you mean by two two lines?

    Jiffyshirts question

    Thanks both of you, I just thought that was weird. never been asked that before.. and I did look up that anything over $600 is supposed to be accounted for at end of the year. I need to find someone really smart at that kinda stuff to talk to to understand it all.

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    Just the parts that need to be like the center of the a d and e to make them look right.. The words in black is what i want it to look like when i cut the vinyl. but looking at the preview it looks like it will be cutting the center of each letter. like the Feet looks like its going to just be a thin outline and not the solid color.. I hope that makes sense its hard to explain.

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    Yeah, I drew a box around it all and hit weld I tried that too and it still shows it looks just like it did before with the center of letters cut. now i can click on Shadow and the letters get really bold but still when i hit preview it still looks the same..

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    Well i found the weld option but it doesn't look any different to me. I looked at 2 videos and it looked like the way they used it was if you wanted to overlap the letters or words Sorry , im trying to learn this stuff

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    I don't see a weld option is it called something else? Anyone here with SCAL can help? Primal you around?

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    done this in SCAL4 but wouldn't it be the same on any? so once it is Welded together the Preview should show just like it will look when it cuts it? Oh that is what the pen is for? what do you use to let it draw on?

    crazy question about how the decals are cut?

    Thanks, I wasn't sure there was a setting where you could do either way but I think for most part i would always want the full bold of the letter or anything i was wanting.

    Store Front Pricing question

    Glad people here say 751 is the best to use i have ordered some and only plan to make decals for customers out of 751, I had people yesterday on FB telling me 651 is just as good as long its going on glass and not over rivots and stuff.
  14. Thanks for the tip, I took my old one apart and it for sure was Dirty... all kinda fuzz on the wheel cleaned it off and now its working.. i like this one better the new one is noisy still doesn't make sense for the other 2 not to work.
  15. hi everyone, so i have had this issue for about a month and its very annoying i can not scroll down on the page withmy scroll wheel i have tried a driffrent mouse and my wireless mouse and they do the same thing.. I have tried to update my drivers and nothing has worked any clues? 3.00ghz PC 4gb ram windows 7 pro. 64bit system Ive tried watching utube videos and just nothing..
  16. Edit: To much info at once i guess. reading some more the regular Titan uses a Stepper still not a servo so i guess its no better then the SC.. guess I stick to my original plan cause no way i can afford a titan 2. Okay so i guess some of the regulars are getting to know me, Some might be getting sick of reading my stupid novice posts but Im sorry. anyhow everyone on here and on youtube keeps saying you want a servo motor cutter not a stepper, one guy said so many times that stepper cutters are junk.. Well im new to this all but i would guess they didn't even have servo type 20 years ago and i have known people from 20 yrs ago who did vinyl work so there not total junk they work they do there job... but a few have me worried about noise now from the SC2... so well i was looking again on uscutter and I see they have the 28" Titan ( NOT the titan 2) just the regular Titan cutter that comes with Sure cuts a lot Pro... for $455.00 plus $44.99 shipping. So that would be $500.00 for the Titan and the SCALpro (witch i have the basic demo and love it ) i need to purchase the program anyways so wouldn't this be a pretty good deal? I am still on the fence about refrub unit. but it does still come with a warranty. Or I think i guess have to contact them to be sure. you can purchase one it shows,. it says 2 years but also that says with the new one... Anyhow i had planed to buy the SC2 from uscutter but on amazon for $399 to save shipping cost i understand its a big box. Anyways looking for once again input. Thanks guys
  17. oh yeah i plan to.. just when need new one. might try those. Alright thanks.
  18. Yeah, Glad i clicked the video seems like a lot of good info on the site for tips and stuff.
  19. Warning.... If you read this whole thread your going to know a lot more about me,, okay if your still reading. okay so i really like using the SCAL4 demo, its easy to use to me ive really caught on to it. and I have saved a ton of projects in it. but the files say there scut4 files.. I cant import those to Vinylmaster. and when i try to export them from SCAL4 it does it but when you open it it has DEMO across it.. so i'm trying to figure out if there is anyway at all i could convert the files to vinylmaster so i can cut the projects i already have.. Cause the SC2 cutter i'm going to buy has Vinylmaster with it not SCAL4.. wish you could pick.. I'm going to order off amazon to save on shipping. I want to buy SCAL but i just cant right now.. I have wanted a Vinyl cutter for many years and I guess i always posted in the wrong places about getting one, I was always talked out of it by people who were rude in telling me if i cant afford to buy a $500 software program and another $200 for fonts and clipart i shouldn't get one and just have someone who knows what there doing to make decals i wanted cause i never be able to do it myself... Years have past and i was just going to buy a Silhouette and cut stuff then found a site joined and they talked me into a bigger/better machine then i found out this site and everyone's been very helpful but honestly i don't have $2,000 to buy all the best stuff and buy everything i need at once. Ive been out of work Since July 1st, was working for a buddy who owned his own handyman company and i had been working for him for a month when all sudden he stopped texting and calling me to tell me what time to be at his house for work, ( i think iether his wife got mad about how much he was paying me and that was less money for her) a month before this I left a regular job that had health insurance and a regular paycheck every 2 weeks to come work for him cause he said he could pay me double for less work i was stressed out at my job ( retail job) working electronics for a company. Yeah I screwed up that was my fault on leaving a job for another. Anyhow, Pior to that I hadn't really worked much at all cause in December of 2016 I found out i had a rare Bone infection in my right index finger and i had to have a operation on Jan 18 2017 to have that finger amputated a quarter the way back, I was out of work from Jan 15th till March 10th 9 i think was the date) so that whole time i made nothing, I had to be out of work for the surgery and psychical therapy to get my finger bending again. It was a HUGE challenge inmy life i pretty much had to relarn to type.I still cant use that finger to type but luckily im back typing almost as fast as i could before. ive had to learn a different way to shoot guns, run chainsaw, hand tools work on my automobiles you name it.. its been very annoying at times. At the time of my surgery right before and after cause the finger was wrapped up good i couldn't even open a bag of chips..i fought with it fora while the infection came back 3 times, had to be put back on antibiotics 3 different times. finally got rid of it. Anyhow today my finger is healed, i still have to be very very careful what I do, i bump it on everything it seems like and it still HURTs. i met a guy in PT that had same thing done to him in 2007 and he said if he bumps it on something it still hurts bad.. ive bumped it doing the most basic things. I can't do a lot of jobs now cause of it. i used to live to auto machinic but now im scared doing a oil change or changing a thermostat on my truck ( done both since this happened, Im lot slower now not to bump it on anything and i have to wear gloves to be safe) Anyhow 2016 was a very bad year for me, my family on july 16th 2016 my 71 year old father had a massive stroke, and he is paralized on his left side. I moved back home in July to help my 69 yr old mother take care of my father, My job gave me leave to help with him, Doctoer apointments, sergury, ect. so i was out of work not getting paid from about july 16-october 20th 16 so also all of that time i was out of work.. Im really hoping i can make some money any money at all doing this. and but i just dont have the funds to buy all at once i don't want anyone to think im just trying to get stuff for free cause im not.. my mom is now 71 dads 73 they get SS i guess but its not much. Only lucky thing is my father worked his butt off for most of his life and had a really great job for the last 25 yrs of his life and saved ton of money that now is going out every month to bills and health care people they have insurance but it don't pay for everything we had to buy a $16,000 wheelchair van just to be able to bring dad home and get him to appointments. Today i am really still sat,upset,annoyed that the home health never got my dad to walk, they never had a Hand dr (OT) to come out to try and get use of his left hand/arm. Facts are hard to face but most likely my father will never walk again, he will never be able to do anything by his self again, he loved to fly radio control planes and helicopters with me, and loved to shot his guns, he loved to reload ammo, and loved taking care of his grass,yard flowers and now he never be able to do any of that again.. living in a wheelchair and hospital bed every day. Im trying very hard to eat better being i have high blood pressure also ( that what cause dads stroke) and im a type 2 Diabetic. Sorry for the long long post. but i think i feel a little better I am on here to get advice, learn stuff and enjoy being a apart of this group. Hope I'm here a long time. Thank you to any who read this whole post.
  20. Sorry, i missed the link somehow... I shouldn't read when i first wake up
  21. Thank you for all of your help, well i wouldn't know how VM saves anything cause on the demo your not allowed to save. that is why i had been making everything in SCAL. Yesterday part of a letter was cut off when i went to vector the image its okay cause it still looks fine with part of the V missing.
  22. Oh, okay i didn't know they had a other sales type spot. I guess its not so bad if people like myself are just selling misc items, i mean I know people on the sites im a member of that in one payment are selling $2500.00 helicopters. we already paid taxes when we buy the stuff new. it would stink to need to pay taxes again.
  23. Thanks, hadnt heard of them I went to the site, it only shows one blade for uscutter machines so all of theUS cutter machines will use the same blade? it says on the site " Most of the plotters sold by US Cutter will use the ROLD or ZECU style blades " I would hate to buy a $18 blade to find out it doesn't fit in a SC2
  24. Well for me, because as of right now I've not sold anything toward a business standpoint. I only sell mostly used Radio control related items to people on RC forums I'm a member of so if i sell $600 worth of used equipment in a year sounds like I'm now going to have to put that on my taxes, I added up past 3 months I've sold a lot trying to just pay my bills at like $500 already not sure if the laws have changed, most likely they have but i thought even if you worked a regular job you didn't have to file taxes if you didn't make like $2000 for the whole year. I'm not sure what kinda laws like that are for personal business. I need to look more into it.
