  1. Still have to remember, a DXF file has curves made out of tiny lines. Depending on the resolution, a small circle could be made out of 1000 lines or more. That is a LOT of ups and downs for the blade.
  2. Spam is normal, but that is just useless verbal diarrhea! (in the digital world)

    Some glass etchings

    That is your first post? You are trying to sell mugs to us? What do you think we do here? Maybe you have shirts and signs for sale?

    Shirt for daughter

    Playing with my daughter this afternoon and she decided to dress like a biker. Decided she needed a shirt. Not done yet, but the concept is there. Probably change the colors a bit. The BC and not MC stands for bicycle club.

    mac fonts

    Have any of you mac people (or ex mac people) found a way to convert the fonts on a mac to windows? I looked in the wife's mac font collection and all the names look messed up to me. (Windows guy.) And windows will not recognize what she has. Most show up like ._Lesli for example. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Vinyl Not Sticking To Window

    Using windex with ammonia also does not help.

    Trick or Treat meaning

    Kids choice all the way!
  11. Is anyone using graphtec pro studio and updated to 3.10? It was annoying me with reminders, so I gave in. The new version crashes like crazy! Biggest one is if you select "select within"

    Software update

    Well, created a new file this morning and had the same problem with "select within". My "Design Central" disappears and will not come back. Then when clicking on something, the save as window pops up. Went back to 2.9 and everything is fine. Guess I will have to put up with the "update available" notice until the next version.

    graphtec plotters only.

    Software update

    I got it figured out. 1 of the settings in "outline" was wrong. Now it isn't crashing when I try to create what the setting does without me. Brain must have been in corel mode. That is what happens when you use a program that is not really for what you are doing. The files where originally going to be cut, but it became easier to print them.

    Software update

    Looks like, and I am not sure, that I am doing something in the wrong order. Still going to mess with it a bit and see if I can figure it out. I hate user error!

    Software update

    Downloaded again, reinstalled and still messing up. Have to try on a few other files. Thanks

    Software update

    Try the right click and select within and see if it works for you. I may have to reinstall.

    Cut registration marks instead of printing?

    If I am Reading that right, you want to lay a full sheet of vinyl on the magnet, cut and weed, then lay another sheet of vinyl, cut the second layer, weed and so on. No, what makes you think you can get the first layer to stay on the magnet when you weed the second, third or however many layers you want? If I am misunderstanding the question I do apologize.

    Cobra Ink

    I just have to get this out there. I put a cobra ink cis in my Epson printer a while ago. For the past few years I have been printing door inserts (to go behind glass) for Ronald McDonald house here in Ontario. They have always been impressed with the vibrant colors and how good they come through the glass. Well, they ordered a bunch more and I noticed I was getting low on my ink, so pulled out the bottles to refill and to my shock, the cobra ink I was using was just over 6 1/2 years old. Still perfect prints every time! If I am not mistaken, ink only has a shelf life of a year. Richard at cobra ink has some GOOD stuff! Good job Richard!!!!!!!!
  20. If you are making things for tapered glasses, mugs or whatever, here is a web site that will give you the correct shape you need to make it look right. A few measurements put into the easy to understand questions and it will give you a PDF that you can copy and paste into your design software. I have tried it and it works perfect. https://www.onlinelabels.com/label-generator-tools/tapered-label-Generator.aspx
  21. Couple of shirt things for the times.

    TEXT EFFECT

    The bottom one should fix ya up.
  23. The only way you can cut the liner is if there is to much blade. You HAVE to set it using skeeters instructions.
  24. Never done a dot before. Did 310 at 1.5 inch each. Took less than 1 min. to design it. 620 would have been another 3.5 seconds.
