    Print verus cutting

    Sorry for stepping in this late. Uh, yeah, i see your point on uploaded files. I'll avoid that in the future. I deleted the offending file.

    Print verus cutting

    Hey Dee... No, a cutter is not a printer; however, a smart polygon layout will give you a pattern similar to what you want. You need to find a wire representation of the US. Convert it to monochrome with any paint program. I convert it into .bmp. Then import that .bmp into vinylmaster. Do edge detection on the .bmp. You will have to a serious amount of experimentation to get the proper print effect. Start with a very simple shape, say Arizona (some curves and straight vectors). If it is just not working out after about 30 minutes, find another simple shape. Once you found a print that works, move up to more complicated picts. When I am using the ink cartridge attachment, I use the fattest ballpoint, which has been 1.7. Attached is a svg of UC Davis street map. Correct, a cutter is not a printer; however, this works enough for my purposes. Dave
