    Contour Issues, SC Pro 1, Uscutter SC Series issues

    I have been able to make the cuts correctly once by drawing a boundary box around the entire sheet ensuring to keep it far enough away from the edge to keep the paper under the roller on the rear side. So I figured that one out, "thanks Paco". However, my printed image needed some tweaking so I edited it in Photoshop CS5 to my liking saved it as a .bmp opened it with Inkscape just like I did with the first document and now signcut will not recognize the file correctly, when it it's imported if it imports it is either a blank page, a black page or squiggly lines with a couple half circles or Signcut crashes. And I over wrote the previous file that worked so there's no going back. What I've tried so far. 1. Create the document from scratch in inkscape: a. Create a print layer of the green buckeyes b. Create a cut layer of circles that encompasses the buckeyes c. Print buckeyes with the boundary box on my printer, no issues. d. select the cut layer and import to signcut, the results are as stated above. 2. Create the same scenario in CorelDraw x6 a. try to export to Signcut, the results are stated above 3. Create the buckeye sheet in Photoshop CS5 a. save it as a .bmp file b. open the .bmp file with Inkscape c. vectorize the buckeyes, (trace .bmp) d. rename the layer to Print e. create new layer named Cut f. create the circles and boundary box on the cut layer g. try to export with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached are the files and results of when it would import to Signcut except the board would not accept the Corel Draw .cdr file.Buckeyes.svgNew Buckeyes.eps ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Okay, with the help of other posts by Namchief & Mz SKEETER I have success by doing the following. 1. I opened the file up using CorelDraw and saved it as a .cdr version 8 2. Closed Corel Draw and reopened the file saved as version 8 3. Then saved it as .ai file and closed Corel Draw 4. Open the file with inkscape 5. Re-created the layers, (1) print and (1) cut 6. Selected the Cut layer and exported to signcut with no issues. ( I just did this remotely from work, once I get home I will test the cut for 100% assurance it will work) Below is the results.
  2. Okay on my 24" SC Series, I'm using the provided templates that have 4 reg marks. However the reg marks are so close to the edge of the paper the laser can't see them without the paper coming out from underneath the roller when trying to align the rear marks. i.e. the distance from the edge of the paper and the reg mark is lesser than the distance from the laser and the pinch roller. So, how on earth will it ever be able to align? I have tried to create my own marks closer to the middle of the paper in between my decals however I was able to complete the aligning steps but the results weren't good, it should be cutting circles and it was cutting ovals and only in between my 4 reg marks. Any help is greatly appreciated. contour cut fail 2.pdf
