    Sea-Doo Zombie ride!

    I'd think twice about using Vindex for cleaning anything you're applying vinyl to it contains Ammonia and can effect the adhesive

  3. Today I recieved an email from USCutter on their "Weekly Specials" advertising GAP ScrapeRite plastic Razor (50-Pack)s @ $13.56. As soon as I clicked to make a purchase it jumped from $13.56 to $14.41, I wasn't game to go any futher incase the price went any higher. Joe Blow

    EbaY?

    If you go down the lists of vinyl for sale on eBay and check how many are actually selling and what the percentage is, I think you'll find that you are not alone by any means. Joe

    Is there any...

    Hi jay you're right but I've found the actual connection will also cause problems at the PC. Often USB mouse will go missing and previous USB printers I've had played up. Although the last couple of Inkjet printers I had have been USB and I've had no problems with either of those. I now pinch the male USB connection to make it fit a bit firmer that seems to help. Joe

    Is there any...

    Kimon I can't see how you guys can recommend a Keyspan adapter when uses the exact same USB connection. It's the physical USB connection male to female plug loosing contact that causes the drop-out. A serial connection is far more positive, stable and trouble free. If the PC doesn't have a serial connection use a serial card. Joe

    Cutting way bigger than I told it to

  15. Darin when it cuts in the same place each time it's usually an open path. I don't know what program it was created in you said you used Inkscape to re-do it. Inkscape traces the image therefore tracing over the open path that is why it was ok when it was re-done using Inkscape. When you look for an open path it is quite often not where the stray cut is occurring but somewhere else. That fools most people because that's where they are looking for the problem to be. The plotter is reading the data ahead of what it's cutting then finds an open path and makes the stray cut. Joe

    Artcut pro 2009

    I would keep right away from ArtCut I tried two versions 2002 & 2005 and would not go there again. It may have improved dramatically since then but they've lost me. Joe
  20. Welcome!! You wont go wrong with the Roland and you'll be glad you purchased a quality machine further down the track. Joe

    First Wall Graphic!

    Nice job I hope it doesn't grow too big ;D Joe
  22. Get yourself a trial version of VinylMaster Pro and if it suits your needs buy it. It's a top of the range program and one of the cheapest in that class. (The trial disc does not allow you to cut but you can use all the other features) Joe

    vextractor?

    You'll find that even if you use both Vector Magic and Inkscape on the exact same graphic they will have different results. Sometimes Vector Magic is better than Inkscape, sometimes it's the other way round, it depends on what your graphic is and what you're trying to archive. Inkscape will often smooth lines more than Vector Magic but if you're wanting a more exact trace as in text for example it's Vector Magic. Joe

    vextractor?

    Look give it a try and see how you go, I was trying too convert Raster to Vector with it and found it wasn't as good as Inkscape, even Coreltrace was better. It was chunky and awful, very poor results. Joe
