  1. Im just buying a cutter and learning about all the printing and cutting etc. Trying to get my head round what i actually need to print on vinyl? At present I have a epson normal desktop inkjet printer. Can you buy vinyl that could be printed on with a inkjet? If not what actually do I need? Thanks
  2. I have this design POW ! and want to glue some LED neon strip onto the centre of the letters. Its would be easier if I could cut out a 1/2 inch strip central to the letters, following the shape to act as a guide. Is there an easy way? many thanks pow2.vDoc
  3. Hi thanks I tried that, just by doing the outline but it just looks inflated and the original letter stays the same size which is not 1/2 inch. Found another way by making 1/2inch rectangle shapes and stretching the length and angle to fit into each letter. Which is good in one way as it tells you the length of each one and the Led neon can only be cut at 1 inch spacing. For any of the curved sections it was a case of using the elliptical tool to make a shape which fitted perfect and then making a duplicate and then grabbing the corners to make a smaller version. Then a bit of node editing and weld them together. All a bit long winded
  4. yes that's correct, is there a way to draw a line in the dead centre of any shape? Or make a a smaller version of each letter? I tried grabbing the corner of a copy of each letter and reducing the size but it dosent line up exactly thanks
  5. What i need is a constant width thanks
  6. But on my font its not the same width, so end up with this
  7. Hi thanks I found the inline feature in Vinyl master and it works great on fonts where the letters are all the same width.
  8. Looking for ideas of makes of good quality t shirts? Is 100 % cotton the best for vinyl heat transfer? I have lots of t shirts at home in my wardrobe and went through the labels and all were 100% cotton. Some i hate the cut and some i hate the thickness so where do i get a tshirt thats fashionable and not the normal thick "band name" style tshirt? Im in the UK so any brand names would be welcomed
  9. Hi its Badaboom font. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/badaboom#fonts-section It would be good to do it to lots of different fonts as I get asked to add LED neon quite often. I could do it free hand with lines and curves but found it hard to keep a constant 1/2 width thanks
  10. Hi all I want to use this font disco.vDoc
  11. Hi I did weld to convert it so its editable. Then I changed it to colour wire view and deleted the bits I didnt want. It worked in the end but I thought there would be a quicker way? Thanks
  12. Then i want to cut the black block shadow out in one piece and then layer the red DISCO on top. There seems to be a padding around the font and when i try to cut the black block shadow out it wants to cut the white lines out too not just a solid black block? any ideas? thanks
  13. but put a block shadow behind it disco block.vDoc
  14. Hi all I have a font called "Discoteque" and some letters have a flatened area which should be rounded, how can i edit it? It wont let me node edit it? As you can see the bottom left of the A has a flat bit and even the top is a bit flatterend? thanks a.vDoc

  17. Hi to get a bit of practice in ive grabbed some signs and tried to replicate them. This one looks great but when i try to cut it it cuts a red rectangle and then cuts the letters in white seperatly ? also its the same with the green rectangle? What im trying to do is have a red rectangle with the letters cut out and then two green strips with the letters cut out...the white will be the wall colour? thanks STAR CLUB.vDoc
  18. Sorted it! Its quite hard to select 2 objects before using the punch tool. Is there a way to select 2 objects using the object tool bar on the left of the main screen? instead of trying to put a box around the two objects? thanks
  19. I managed to punch out the letters on the green rectangles but the red rectangle wont allow me to punch out the letters?

    Multi layer vinyl?

    I cut a design out which has 4 colours, i wanted to stack them on top of each other they are very detailed with lots of small pieces. I cut the base layer and i wet the surface with a mist of water with a little soap and put the new layer on top, i could jiggle it about so it lined up perfect ( I had put registration marks on the design too) But it was a right job trying to remove the clear transfer paper and leave the small bits of the design on top of the base layer mainly due to the base layer been damp and the size of the new layer parts, i did squezee as much water as i could. Is there any tips on doing this? Would it be better to leave the second layer to dry completly before trying to remove the clear transfer paper? Any tips would be welcomed? Due to the actual size and small detail of the design, and some bits seemed a little off you need to jiggle it about a bit to get it to look right so doing it dry would be more of a nightmare thanks

    Multi layer vinyl?

    Ok thanks as i said i can not print because lots of the design is in free air its not just a block of stacked vinyl there are hundreds of tiny bits to the design which are away from the main part. Which in the end will be stuck to a piece of opal perspex with a light shining through..thanks

    Multi layer vinyl?

    Ok thanks, why do people layer from top down? It fries my brain a little thinking about doing it that way...
