user Guest produced his evidence, to Banner John. looks like JeremySI needs to show his emails etc. from Paypal, to Banner John, ,where he is locked out and his Paypal was hacked. Works both ways.

photoshop is a raster program, not vector. (for photos etc). You have to use a vector program for cutting. Vector is outlines. In inkscape .eps is vector. Once you import your image into inkscape you have to vectorize it. and save it as an .eps file. Vectorising in Inkscape SolutionThis walk through explains the basics of vectorising in Inkscape. Step 1) Import your image. Click File>Import, find your file and click OK. Step 2) Select the image, go to the top of the screen, click Path>Trace Bitmap. Step 3) The Trace Bitmap menu will then open. Here you can select how you want your image vectorised and adjust the settings. You can also generate a preview. Once you are happy with the preview click OK and close the Trace Bitmap screen. Step 4) Now you will have your new vector image and the old raster (bitmap, jpeg, gif etc) image stacked on top of each other. Seperate the two and delete the raster. Step 5) Play around with your new vector image! I don't use Corel. but I believe you use Powertrace in Corel. probably youtube videos for that or here on the forum. under Corel.

here is the thread http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,30489.0.html

the forum was changed over to a different board and not all items are working correctly yet. you will have to be patient. They have been working on it all day.

just do a search of a skeleton. or this. I didn't download it to see it ?? Maybe http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,7397.0.html

is the file you are importing to cut a vector file? can you save it as an .eps file? if it is a raster file. no Flexi will not cut it. from your previous posts, you have Corel. why not import it from there in vector format?

just curious, what kind of vinyl are you cutting? also if you take the whole blade holder out of the carriage, and by hand holding the blade holder and running across some vinyl in all directions does it do the jagged lines? are you making (cuts/marks) into the vinyl backing when you are doing that? also make sure there are no gouges in your cutting strip.

have you looked into your blade holder to make sure there is no vinyl pieces , even a tiny piece can mess things up, put a drop of oil, 3-1 etc. or graphite on the blade. Make sure the carriage is firmly in it's track, make sure your cutting strip is firmly down all the way across, look at your blade REAL close and make sure it isn't damaged. try a different blade.

do you have the cutter grounded to the stand? You should.. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,22467.0.html

Actually, I don't upgrade on computers, for my cutter. no real need to. I stay with XP, it is very stable. and have an XP back up computer. and have a dedicated computer just for my cutter. You can still purchase older XP computers very reasonable on EBAY. and also get them with the serial ports.

sorry, but I have seen nothing but people complaining about Artcut. I don't use it, Maybe try Signblazer, At least it is Free and can be downloaded from here on the forum , and it works with Windows 7. Don't know what else to tell you, goodluck.

maybe you can try it on the XP compatibility mode in windows 7, according to ad for Artcut in 2009, http://www.signwizard.co.uk/product_info.php/artcut-2009-p-35 Artcut 2009 is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

good catch, glad you got it figured out.

also make sure that your cutting strip is firmly down all the way across the cutter.

your welcome, glad you got it going....

here are the specs on the cutters http://cgi.ebay.com/USCutter-14-Vinyl-Cutter-Crafts-Scrapbooking-TShirts-/280557098164?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41528194b4 http://cgi.ebay.com/New-USCutter-Vinyl-Cutter-28-Cutting-Plotter-w-o-Stand-/270630585805?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f02d705cd

just set it up it in your cutting software under Roland PNC1000 or some other Roland driver.

ok, hope you get it figured out. your welcome. when you do a test cut, is it like it is supposed to be?

Sorry, but Artcut is not a very good software, people switch away from it.
