I've been using SB for 8 yrs now, looking to upgrade. What software do you think will be a easy learning curve to adapt to. I'm very proficient at SB, I probably can do stuff with it many haven't seen or done. Custom artwork is my thing, drawing, node edit, and modifications are a must!

Windows10 design and cut, Q130 vinyl express, copam and future printer

windows 10, signblazer, and Q130 cant get it to cut, any help would be appreciated!

It cuts the job fine now, but after it completes the job it just feed the entire roll to the end and stops. I went into the printer support on windows 10, updated driver, set a port to usb1, then selected that port in signblazer and worked.

i got it to work, but it feeds the whole roll through after it cuts its job

Its a tribute sticker and my printer is not up and running do to relocating. Need a price and the artwork may need resizing to make it fit. pm me here or email me frontiergraphix@aol.com.

thanks

Nope, just cut vinyl.

Make sure you have the right port selected for the usb. I installed mine on both of my window 7 rigs, one pro and one home laptop. Neither have had a problem getting it to work.

Yeah, you re-sized it right. No registration marks, I don't use them. Most stuff I use app fluid and will get it lined up no problem using clear app tape. If you want reg marks, just make a circle, then duplicate it and change it to each color.

Here's a redraw, in signblazer. This should work fine for you. med.SBD

I'll have something for you in the morning. np

It needs 10 min of node editing and you would be good, the lines can all be fixed. I would never cut a image for someone, customer or not with crooked lines and distorted letters. It's up to you though. Here's one cleaned up, depending on size, you may want to clean it up further. 1go ancaster.SBD

Signblazer will have a ruff time with that one, you might be better off redrawing since it is a very simple design with node edit. The font would be easy to duplicate as well. Here's a sample of it vectorized. It will need so node work! 1Jeff_s_logo.eps

you can also take the text, manipulate, outline, offset it then arrange, weld, punch through. you'll have both the text and outline, just separate, delete the unwanted items and there you go. Change colors and it will cut separate no problem.

Signblazer does this automatically in the cutter interface, just cut your first tile, then wait till it is done and then click on your next tile. You may need to arrange the cut line manually, for this rotate and then grab a line and move it to where your first tile will end, the next tile will cut from there.

on glass vinyl should remove fairly easy! Any brand and any color.

The easiest way to get started is to get a subscription to a vector art supplier, it has to be in eps file format, or older ai. They will both cut. You can not just take a picture and cut it out, that's what printers do. Cutters are mainly just a 2 axis CNC, X and Y. The program for signblazer is a vector art designer. You can import/export and custom draw using the node edit option inside this program to allow you to do some really cool stuff. I would advise you to look at the user manual for signblazer. Download Inkscape, it's free and also does vector art. Bitmaps are jpeg and similar web files, they are more suitable for printing.

I have a stripe I can send you, it's custom work so I choose not to post it. It is fully modifiable and in eps format.

there's two different types on imports, full post script interpreter or post script. Did you try them both? When you save a eps file for graphics, save it in a dedicated file with a name like epssbexe or something like that. I never save to desktop, most of what I have is in documents.

Just standard calendered vinyl, $160, cast $250.

I had no problems at all, I use windows 7. You can't open it, right click, extract, then it will take you to the new unzipped file, right click save to documents or desktop. Then you'll need to open inside your artwork program. Signblazer had no problem at all with this.
