Thanks Charlie, I ain't scared to try new things, but I still like the Gerber. I'll see who has some MacTac.

OK, now does anyone know who sells "Gerber" paint mask, my supplier doesn't carry it anymore, and I haven't seen anyone else selling it. IMO, that's the best paint mask out there. Thanks Mike

Does any one happen to have a eps. file of the symbols for Hiyabusa? Does anyone know how to spell Hiyabusa? Did ya'll know that it is actually a bird? Thanks in advance. Mike

Hey firemalt, thanks for the concern for the beverages, actually, only had two in the fridge, but had 3 thirty packs leftover from Friday night's festivities, throwd em in a 200 quart cooler, went up to the little store to get ice, he didn't have any power to ring em up either, said go get all the ice ya need, 13 bags, so in the face of adversity, with neighbor helping neighbor, we were able to carry on into Saturday nights activities, with plenty of good cold beer. Of course I'll go give him a twenty tomorrow. Terry, what should I call ya, if not Mr., any underlying issues there? Thanks again. Mike

Thanks Mr. Terry, that is exactly what the doctor ordered. Sorry haven't got back till now, had a little storm yesterday, and got powered down for about six hours. Thanks again, Mike

Thanks guys, but I'm just looking for the Japanese symbols, not the whole logo, I looked on there first.

That looks like some kind of "Etched" look vinyl, the description sounds like the 3M brand, but at his price, I kinda doubt it is. I did some a while back, I thought they looked kinda dark, but it was on a Black truck, plus the etched vinyl is not for outdoor applications, but those I did still look pretty good after a couple of years. Hope this helps some.

Serial to USB, don't have a catagory for me to vote in.

I may be wrong, but I don't think SB is gonna cut a "line", you have to have a closed vector image, and anything you export from Corel, has to be converted to curves, and I don't think it's gonna do a line. Might work for printing, but I don't know if it will work for cutting. How would one weed a hairline? If it's an eight point line, or something, that'll work.

Jay, you're the man, I don't care what these other people say about ya, that file cuts just like a mirror image, Thank You! Now, would you tell me where I went off track, so the next time I run into this problem, (and I know I will) I'll know what to do, so I don't have to come on here and ask someone to fix it for me. Did you combine them in SignBlazer? I don't mean to sound dumb as I sound, I've used SB for two years now, but this just had me. Like I said before, I've had one other file do the same thing, I just gave up on it, I do appreciate all your help. Thanks Very Much, Mike

Here's a picture of what it's doing, the dark hand in the top image should be the white area, or negative space ( just what is the proper term for the white space? ), and the other spaces are all cut two inches off from where they should be

Maybe I sent the wrong file, I'm just trying to cut the dude sitting in the chair, I seperated him from the text in Corel, then sent an eps to SB. Like I said, the one facing left cuts good, but when I mirror it to cut facing right, that's when my white spaces cut a couple inches off, and none off the options are checked, other than the mirror. Thanks for the help Jay, I think I'm gonna start over. I'll just post a picture in a while to show what it's doing. Thanks Mike

Did you try to cut a mirror image? That's where I'm having trouble. Thanks

Hey, this is Mike aka:knucklehead, just found this forum, it's very refreshing to see a forum where us newbies are not put down, spit on, cussed at, just because we ask a simple question. I've had a Pcut for about two years, running SignBlazer Elements,(after two years,still a newbie) mostly for cutting paint mask, now getting into more vinyl applications on trucks and boats and such. I'm pretty good with an airbrush, kinda OK with a striping brush, have been airbrushing the vinyl some, just because plain vinyl don't do much for me, and the fact I don't own one those fancy umteen thousand dollar printers. Still learning about this digital graphic stuff, the only formal graphic class I've ever had was back in high school in the old days when you had to draw a grid on your paper first. That's about it, hope I can contribute some little way. Thanks and Ya'll have a Great Day!

Don't remember the companies name, it was one of the big ones, they had something called Real Shadow, it looked good, would make for some killer ghost flames I think. Maybe someone knows who it was, and if they still make it, I'd like to get some more too.

I posted this in the SignBlazer section, still having problems; OK, maybe I worded that wrong, but I'm trying to cut a logo, say RANGER, the middle parts, or whatever you call them in the R,A, E, are all cutting in a complete different location from the background of the word, up about 2 inches, and to the right about, 3 inches. I ran into this problem a while back, and had to un-check the fit to origin, but for some reason, it's doing the same thing now either way. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much. Should have added this is on a Pcut, running SignBlazer Elements. Would a picture be more helpful? I'll try to post one today sometime. Thanks again

When you get your software running, on your cutting screen, there is a mirror box, check it if you want a mirror image, un-check it if you don't. Pretty simple, but you got to get to the cutting screen. Hope this helps some.
