    two sign drafts

    They look good but I'm not sure about the "&" being so large... seems there is more Priority on the "&" than the son... maybe there's a reason for that What if you did "and" in smaller text about the "son" And SON Just a suggestion
  2. A little bit of readable documentation would go a long way, I agree.
  3. Sorry, that's about the depth of my knowledge It will be interesting to see what the final solution is..
  4. Could be... you should be able to see if its broken... better wait and talk with Ken or Levi before you go spending money.. Try leaving the offset to 0.00 and pen plotting the text you were trying to cut..
  5. Well, I'm trying but haven't been much help and you are more than welcome. About the only other thing I can think of is the cutting size correction... you should have the pen holder with the pcut... set your offset to 0.00 and plot a box about the same size as the text you're cutting.. if you select the text it will tell you the approximate size.. Once you plot the box measure it against what you drew and see what you have... if it's off much change the cutting size correction and try it again. Thanks
  6. About an 1/8" off the strip is correct.... Sorry I couldn't have been more help.. It sounds like a software problem... you never did say what software you're using
  7. Just a couple more suggestions.... make sure any and all "weed" features are turned off. I've found with mine even a small change in the offset makes a big difference.. try making smaller incremental changes in the offset. Even going from 0.25 to 0.20 could make the difference. With your blade carrier in place (back hole) how much space is there between the bottom of the carrier and the cutting strip?
  8. It cut just as it should.. no problems. I set the blade and pressure as per the document... 60 deg blade (older) speed 40 and 108 pressure
  9. I'll try and cut them this AM
  10. The file isn't the same as the picture or the font you show. Is this the file you cut?
  11. I seem to have better luck with the 60's... but, others say they can't tell a difference. What font is that? I could try cutting it on mine and see if it's the same. Or, just attach the sbd file
  12. You could try this it may help.. Does it only do it with this font ? Blade Adjustment-rev-01.pdf Blade Adjustment-rev-01.pdf

    Trouble importing .dxf files - HELP!

    I've had zero luck getting DXF files into SB... you'll probably need to save them as ESP from your CAD software and import into SB... that's not without problems but it may get you going.

    NEED OPINION

    I would add a little space between Jackson and State.. enough so the letters aren't touching. Maybe put a football in place of the "o" in Jackson.. I think it looks good!
  24. Got it.. found'em and that was great fun Nothing wrong with the machine.. slow day
