The Vinyl Shop

Recently i have noticed a strange phenomena. I make all my cut files in AI and I do it the standard way, I will open my .png file then select image trace then expand and so one, been doing it this way for 10 years. Now as of last week with NO changes that I am aware of I am getting double lines that get cut? I noticed after many ruined cuts that I had double everything on my cut file, where I had to manually go in and delete every aspect of the second cut file? It is driving me nuts and costing so much time, anyone have a clue?

I use Sure Cuts Alot Pro and a sc34 cutter, again I am not tracing anything 2 times, just when it gets to be cut it is cutting everything twice. I now can go back into the ai file and deleted the second cut file and its fine it just eats up so much time.

No i make them in PS then save as .png then move to ai. Again this part has nothing to do with it. I am curious as to why I have been doing it this way and now as of last week every cut file i make is making 2?

I use AI to make my cut files but when i do it the way i have been doing it for a decade now makes double the cut lines. It cuts 2 times and ruins the materials I have no idea how it is being doubled.

AWESOME! From a lifelong Family of Fords. My Father worked for Ford for 55 years. My 2003 Expedition just turned 207,000 miles!! LOVE them.

Girls & cars. What could be wrong? Looks great.

Why would I mispell something on purpous? It was a mistake.

It adds up fine. I keep my investments small and on a seperate budget. The Ebay Vynil Shop Store is a cheap, easy to start business. It's been around for a while and as of late I finally have time to make it into something.I keep my budgets tight per company. I have been looking over the sales from godaddy bookkeeping and I see every Summer it dips. Ill be doing new designs too now that I have time to really invest.

I bought an sc34 in 2009 for the EBay store portion of our company. Worked awesome for about 4 years, the last year she was showing signs of age so I bought another sc34 about 6 months ago. Had nothing but problems, inconsistent cuts, bad tracking, up & down pressure issues, etc. Well I got a new MB and cartridge for the new machine and it didnt change a thing. I got US Cutter to send me an entire new machine. This one too was doing the SAME thing?? So I was ready to throw this thing in the trash and I gave the boys in tech one last shot at helping me. I got a GREAT Guy this time and we did everything you could. So He asks what software am I using and I said sign cut pro. He says have you ever tried the free one we sent with the machine? I said no I haven't. I like signcut pro and I was used to it. SO He said the ONLY left to do is switch software just to see if the problem persists. All I can say is with the free disc of sure cuts alot did the trick. This machine has NEVER EVER been so well behaved, even on small detailed items!! I cannot believe that the software was the issue!!! Hope this helps some of you with similar issues!! Happy cutting!!

The $2.99 free ship is to attract volume, again I have other items that are higher priced and yes cruise my store I have a ton of one off designs.

When did I bas h on you exactly? Ass kicked? LOL They can TRY. Iv'e been in business for 26 years total. We have a brick & mortar sign shop and installation facility here in NJ under another name as well as a printing company. Im just discussing the ebay factor of the stores sales. I didn't leave anyone facebook messages? I don't know where that came from. I leave the proper (IMHO) responses to rediculous feedbacks. I never had an issue with a walk in customer ever. It's all been problems on Ebay. She mentioned the "swap meet crap" that was uncalled for and cocky.

Heres one example of my "Swap Meet Crap" Graphics level,LOL. I just suck.

Swap meet crap?? I am a 21 year Photoshop Veteran and do AMAZING graphics. Really WOW? Nice way to talk to people. I don't have to pay for it I do it myself.

Oh no I am not saying She is bsing. I just cannot imagine what on earth would make people pay that much for a vynil design that's all. I would just love to see the stuff. I would never do ANYTHING to a fellow ebayer ever because I know what it is like on the other end. She knows my store?

What is your Ebay store link?

I did this ENTIRE car for 400.00 from design to install.

Then your designs are more popular then, I have no answers. Iv'e tried higher $ stuff and it NEVER sells people are SO CHEAP it is unreal. What on god's green earth are you selling vinyl wise for $60-$70?? WOWZA thats HIGH as hell.

Those replies to me we're justified. Sorry. People leave a BAD feedback without sending a message first. Nothing enrages me more. The second one you quoted was from an item that was sent and He didnt get it and he tells me via a neg. on Ebay? BS. I give what I get. Sellers are powerless on ebay, that is exactly why this type of behavior runs rampid on that site. I have 3 ebay stores and have been a powerseller for 15 years, been on EBay since 1999, so I know EBay very well. I have higher priced items that do NOT sell. Iv'e tried over the years playing with the prices and NOTHING sells unless it's 2.99 - 3.25 - 3.50 - or 3.99. My chrome USED to sell good at $5.99 a pop but I raised it based on other similar items on Ebay to $9.99 and ZIP, dead sales. I drop the price ONE DOLLAR, sales are back up. So I have all items priced to sell according to how long they sit & rot between sales. It is an up & down market no doubt but the Summer slumps are unbearable.

Agreed, I was steaming this am.

I ship in a stamped letter envelope. FREE shipping to attract customer. I sell Gun & Car related decals.

How do you know what I sell? I do have my own nich' sales just BLOW they always do in the Summer, no one is buying in the Summer, my sales triple in the winter. I just checked my Godaddy Bookkeeping and like clockwork sales start to drop right now. I added over 200 new designs in the last 3 months and the last 3 have been declining steadily. It's just bullshit all the dirty fucking LIARS on there claiming they never got their item, just to get another because they fucked it up trying to put it on, the returns, fucking IDIOTS that cant READ THE DESCRIPTION where this is mentioned 3 fucking times "The white part is what you get, the black is shown for contrast only" then they return saying it has no black backing, OMFG I want to rip these fuckers throats out!! LIARS. The post office dont fuck up that bad lol. Ive been on FEEBAY 17.5 years now and it has deteriorated into a shithole lately.

It would be a great idea to upgrade and I would love nothing more to do so, but terrible ebay sales keep me in this junker, it's unavidable at this point.

Ive been using the SC since 2009. This is my 3rd one. The first one lasted (WORKING PROPERLY) for about4 years, then the last year is a mess. I ordered another to replace it, instant trouble right from the box, all over the place pressure, where the right side would cut SUPER LIGHT could barely weed, then the left side was cutting HEAVY as hell, then it would switch sides it was heaver on. Ive never seen anything like it. So I call they send me an MB and a cartridge. Put it in, SAME SHIT in about a week. Now I call and flip theeee fuck out and they send a whole new machine which I just hooked up today and so far so good (2hrs of use). I cut 4 x 9 images not too much detail and thing is just a fist fight to weed. Just a pos. Sorry thats my opnion.

THING IS A (redacted by moderator) PIECE OF (redacted by moderator) IN EVERY WAY!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS GARBAGE!!

STAY AWAY FROM SC SHIT!! TOTAL GARBAGE! This machine I too have. It is a monstrous piece of shit, endless problesm, Im in my 3rd now, new MB, new head cartridge, hjust a general piece of shit all around. It costs me more money this past month in effed up materiial, rotten cuts, chipping, pulling, it is a HUNK OF SHIT!
