    I know that this is a simple enough logo that I can just recreate in flexi, but I won't learn how to do it right if I always go that route.  In this logo If I go to view outline, I can see that the rectangle and circle on the bottom are not as one.  If I were to cut it, then I would get cut marks in the circle.  I know the term in Flexi is weld but how do I do that in illustrator? 

    Also I tried to open the file in Flexi but it would not me weld as is.  The AI file was to big to upload so I saved it as a PDF here

    I own a mailbox shipping retail store and also have a pcut 630.  I am trying to do a little bit of advertising in the store for simple vinyl work and remembered a sign that was on here that I liked but can not find anymore.

    It was pretty simple (im sure I can reproduce it, but I liked the format that the orignial was).

    It had different sizes cut out with what their size was.

    For Ex: "1 inch" is an inch tall "2 inch" was 2 inches tall, etc.

    I am also looking for other in store marketing Ideas to sell the vinyl lettering.

    I am trying to stay away from other vinyl work other than lettering because I am not that good at converting to vectors and don't have too much time to learn or design things that aren't ready to cut files.

    Sorry if it all sounds confusing but I hope it makes sense.

    Thanks

    I have someone that has a logo and wanted a decal.  I told him to save it as a vector file so that it can be cutable.  He did convert it into adobe illustrator but I am having trouble with flexi showing the graphic.  I tried to do what I know in illustrator but im not sure what to do now.. attached is the file that I need to cut.  Please can someone help?  I need to have the option to reverse the image also.

    I am planning on distributing the products to sign companies all over but for now I will be concentrating on here locally in the northwest.  But after awhile once things are rolling good I would be happy to travel wherever to you guys so that you can sell them through your shop. 

    I'm still a bit out before I get everything together to start. I've just been doing a little here and there.

    I'll let you know more info whenever I'm not just on my iPhone.

    I was just wondering what the average lifespan is for neon or other type signs.  The only reason I ask is I've got a new product to sell but it has a lighted lifespan of 20,000 hours and to me it doesn't seem like a good selling point.  But then again I don't know what should be acceptable for lighted signs.  This product is best compared to neon because of how it can flash in sequence and the type of lights. 

    I didn't post a link because I didn't want to feel like I was spamming.

    Maybes you can run a virtual machine running win98 that way you don't have to use a whole other box dedicated for the plotter.  That's what I did to get my copam to work while I was running ubuntu on my main box.  I just set up a virtual machine with vmware running xp and I had no problem doing it that way, should work for you too.
