  1. ok this is an old post but ive read it and still not sure if this is my problem?? I have never changed any setting on my 24" laserpoint but the past 2 days it has not been connecting cuts that I know are perfectly connected, example typical arial font in bold the cut lines dont connect. I use Corel 5x and sign cut. its never given me any problems until today. i connect via usb port as always and use a laptop. Do I need a new blade? Do I need to check my setting if so how? Could it really be sign cut?
  2. I have a file I created in Corel Draw x5 I saved as an eps and open the file in sign cut. My cutter automatticaly makes the box around the words then cuts the a in the center of the word on the 3rd line or so then it goes to the last to bottom line and cuts a word there then back to the top for another word, it continues cutting sporaticaly until the whole file is cut, in which it then cuts the weeding line. I want to know if there is a setting or button I can click in order for it to cut from top to bottom or even left to right instead of moving all over he place. Its driving me crazy!!

    Cutting jumps all over to different texts while cutting.....

    I looked but I just dont see it. So I just sat there and waited while my cutter took 16minutes to cut a 10x14 box of words. It really sucks to be inpatient.

    Well that was a quick trace from the guy above. So I used the eps above and just smoothed it a little. Also just typed in new text.

  9. Thanks for all the help guys! Looks like I got alot of readingan work to do now.
  10. I am trying to make a word only file in multi colors so I can save as an eps and open in sign cut so that I can cut by color. No matter what I change it only saves in black giving me no color option except black in sign cut. Example: Type a few words while in Corel 5 make each word a different color view in wireframe and the words are all black. :/
  11. Anyone seen or have an EPS of the Militry boots, Gun and Helmet used to represent a soldier during a service? Its the boots on the ground with the gun standing with the helmet hangin over barrel of the gun. Or anything similar to what I am describing?

    curly stuff and fancy fonts for wall art.

    Wow, that peacock is completely detailed, I love it. Awesome post! Thanks
  13. I have seen more then a few things in the gallery that have been labled sandblasted. I want to know what machine or equpiment I would need to use to do some of the things I have seen. I have etched glass before using chemicals, and contact paper. What is the difference between a sandblasted mirror and a etched mirror? Does sandblasting leave a texture? Also is there a special type of "stencil" that I would need to use to protect the part of the mirror that I do not want affected?

    Decal vinyl on banner material?

    If you go to Oracal's website they have a section that will describe the use and application of each type of their vinyl. Heat trasfer is more for cloth, if you heated a banner, which is more like plastic you would melt it.

    Jailbreak logo

    What do you mean by good? Like clean cut lines? Or something other then a pineapple? There is this sign I make that says "Life was much easier when APPLES & BERRIES were just fruits" It's really cute. I don't get your pineapple idea.

    Stick people sports

    That's a good share I need some stick people! But I like to target shoot and sometime next year plan to kill a dear so my question is where is the mom with a gun?
  19. My inkscape wouldn't open it. I don't know what version it is but the guys at UScutters were the ones to load it on for me a few weeks ago, so I can only assume it's a fairly recent version. I have all the help files from InkScape & Signblazzer printed out, read and highlighted. I also have a few notes I've taken on videos I've watched learning how to do certain things. I refer to them alot. I'm still waiting for my inkscape book I bought to arrive in the mail, it's taking awhile. Thank you for seperating them. I'll be cutting them within the hour.
  20. I need to edit an eps file that I have but need to know what program to use? I have Inkscape, sign blazer but neither will open the eps. I have sign cut but can't figure out how to edit exactly what I need. What programs will allow me to open an eps? Also in sign cut how do I select just one of te image in the file to cut? THere are 2 images in the file an I want to cut ony 1 image at 24" but I can't cut because it always leaves the space for where the other image would be. Causing the image that does get cut to be only 12". Super stuck I woul post a file but Internet is down so I'm on my phone.
  21. Oh my gosh thank you so much! I can make my yard sign now! I'm so excited, I never thought owning a bigger cutter would be so comfusing! I can just cut the top of the eye out with my knife pen! Thank you so much. The image is of our High School Mascot. It is the exact image as Georgia Tech mascot just a different letter on the chest! Thanks!
  22. I can (as of 2 days ago) create in SB and save as an eps. I can even find the eps to use latter on!

    Proper Vinyl Storage

    I like that idea Jay. That design could be lighter if it's frame was pvc or even 2x2s. You wouldnt have to worry about the weight of the vinyl rolls hanging off the pvc because the base is more of the support in that design. However the vinyl is more likely to tip the cart over due to the lightweight of the material. Vinyl my only concern with making the hanging vinyl rack with pvc is that it may not be strong enough to hold all the weight. I've never used pvc to hold weight really, Have you?
  24. And its not letting me attach a 80kb file! I give up. Will Adobe or Corel let me open and edit an eps file? Let me see if I can zip it and see if it will attach now. solid yellow2 dr cut.zip
  25. All I am trying to do is add his eyeball in see how the only way I can cut the eyeballs out is to have the pink line there. I was able to turn that line pink in sign cut however I can't draw in the rest of the eye balls while in sign cut. It's a real pain in the butt. I can barely use these programs to being with and now I can't even use them for what I thought I could! The other thing I can't do is design a whole sign around this image because SB and InkScape won't open eps. which I didn't know when I paid to have it vectorized. And I don't know anything about extensions and downloading, I'm just a simple crafter trying to make a dang football sign for my front yard. We have a playoffs game tomorrow.
