    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!

    or hire Joe Camaro

    both do great work with reasonable rates.

    trust me,  you would not want a vinyl cutter without a stand.  People think they can get by without it, and wish they had it as soon as they get their vinyl cutter. It really sucks not having a stand with the rollers on it.  A Graphtec you will never regret.  I have had my 30" for over 2 years and never a problem.  love it.

    oh yes,  please show your work.  we would all love to learn from you.  What types of vinyl are you using?.  what sizes of lettering?, what colors?. What kind of vinyl cutter are you using?. What kind of app tape?

    Use whatever you are most comfortable with.  Didn't you say the Co-cut didn't have a dongle anyway?  So how are you using it?  Your the only person that knows what your learning curve is... and your capibilities.  Use any of them.   Try them all out and see what suits you.

    Do any US Cutter models come with "permanent" software other than Signblazer?.....I wonder if the Great Cut software that came with my Expert 24 will run a Zen Green or Black....

    none that I know of.  Except the higher end  Graphtec and Rolands come with the software for Illy and Corel plugins. which are both made by the Flexi company.   You can purchase, Flexi  products from US Cutter, which is yours forever.

    I'm just saying that if you look up Keyspan adapter, in the search, on the forum,  you will find that this solved most problems with connecting to a Mac.    Sorry, but I don't use either.  But this has been brought up many, many times.  

    here is the install instructions.  or put in a support ticket.
