In a way I agree. But, more than 4 marks would mean you would be looking at changing vinyl drift. I don't know that more marks would be able to change that if you know what I mean.

Old PC with a serial port or only usb? If serial just use a null serial cable to the cutter. If only usb, use a "keyspan" usb to serial with the null cable.

I don't use vinyl master, but you are asking how to get more accurate than 6 to 8 thousands of an inch on long cuts? How long are you talking? Maybe try to bleed the graphic so you can't see the cut line.

Did you delete the raster image after converting it?

And as I said, don't work. It is an illusion. Probably just hiding it for no practical reason unless you are tracing it manually.

Vector programs do not edit raster files. Unless there is a really good one I don't know about. You would need a raster program as far as photoshop or down to a basic windows program. I know, don't help much.

If there is no plugin for corel, just export an EPS file from corel and import into vinylmaster to cut.

Very good advice. If things are deteriorating, there will be more going. There is a point when you have to give up and go new. There is no warranty with all the new parts that may not even be the problem.

Fun now, just wait! We will be around to help with that pulling your hair out thing. You'll see...

Agree 100%.

Yup, when mine did that the controller worked and keypad didn't. Just took the side off, cleaned the ribbon cable connections and has been fine since. 2 years ago I think.

Both the inkjet and laser would work for that.

Not exactly, but close. Both are coated and do not have a long life. Depending on your idea of long life.

Same stuff as the inkjet stuff. Won't last. Has a coating.

DON'T very few laser printers can do it, and not sure how long it will last. Most will melt the vinyl to the fuser and scrap the printer. I plan to do it in the next couple of days and will let you know if it will last. My laser can do it, but lasting? Not sure. It may just scratch off.

No problem. We are (for the most part) all here to help.

CIS kit from cobra ink in the USA. Best thing I did without having to pay for an eco tank epson.

There ya go. Hope that is right. sd.eps

Post the EPS file. Any of us could do that for you and get you going, then get you going in the right direction.

Ok, scratch that. I was looking at it backwards.

True, but a valid question. I can't see any way you could use mylar and still keep the center from falling out or bunching up during the cut other than a cutting mat. But then getting it off the mat and in place would not work very well.

I hope that is a typo and you are planing to cut 6mil mylar. With a carrier mat.

The first step is to admit you have an addiction.

My thought is, stand back, take a deep breath and get your cutter. You are already talking about getting into a ton of money spent and have never cut anything. Getting everything set up right and cutting is going to be a chore. Never mind contour cutting printed stuff. Just my opinion.

I did do the resize before sending the eps file back.
