    Font Request

    Hey guys, I was out of town at a racetrack and would like this font for my numbers for the upcoming 2014 season. It doesn't habe to be exact, I just like how it has that broken up look. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I normally use signblazer. Thanks in advance
  2. Hello. I bought an MH721 and for a while it worked great but now I'm starting to have trouble. It seems as if one side of the cutter may cut deeper than the side the blade originally sits. Therefore if I am doing small logos, text etc., I have to use my exacto blade to follow the line because it doesn't cut deep enough to weed easilly. It seems as if the farther away the blade gets from its resting point, the better it cuts. Therefore if i am doing large cuts, half the cut weeds much easier than the other half. I have changed blades, adjusted cutting speed and pressures. Any advice of information is greatly appreciated. If it makes a difference, I am using greenstar vinyl and regardless of how I load the vinyl I continue to have trouble. Thanks in advance!

    Seperating Images

    Actually, I am trying to make it exactly like this. Without "the warehouse that service built" at the bottom. But I cant get this image to vectorize clean.

    Seperating Images

    I have a image that I am uploading into inkscape. It is my works logo. My boss wants it to be exact with a few exceptions. I am trying to break it apart (work with just the words/ then just the flags/ then the auto parts warehouse). But I try clicking ungroup with no luck and a few other attempts. If anyone could tell me how to seperate everything it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

    wanting to buy a printer!!

    Hey guys, I am wanting to buy a printer. Definately something used because 6-8k is just not an option as of right now. This is for me only and would upgrade before trying to sell or even demonstrating my work. This is strictly for the learning curve. I am new to vinyl printing but I have done a lot of reading on the various types of inks and what not. Every time I find a printer on craigslist or ebay, I do searches on them and get the same result. Either printing on paper only, or indoor ink only. But these are also amazing deals at 500-1000 dollars for a 24" printer!! I understand the wf1100 is a pretty good price, but I really would like to have the 24". Most of what I find are designjets and others like that. But according to other forums, some say the designjets work, others say no. So how am I going to find or be able to tell what will or wont work for me? Thanks in advance for any replies!!

    Vectorizing with inkscape. Wont load in signcut

    Sorry guys I meant to say own images. Trying to type things from a cell phone gets messy
  8. Hey guys. Very new to the cutting world. I am attempting to vectorize my home images rather than coming to the board for every graphic I need. I am using inkscape to vectorize and signcut x2 to cut. First I find my files mainly from clipart sites which require me to download in PNG format. Next ill open inkscape and highlite the image and select trace bitmap. The images always trace very well with inkscape. Next I select save as and select to save in EPS format. So I open signcut and try to open the image. I select my image to open and the green loading progress bar appears. When it goes away I either am left with a single line running diagonally across the image screen or no image at all. I also try to open the file with signblazer and it doesn't even appear so I can open it. What am I doing wrong?
