    Just cut some THICK MX Decals

    Cool! I was actually sponsored by DirtTricks many many years ago.
  2. Do exactly what 30-284 said. That's all there is to it, it's that easy. No need to weld.

    Project Blackflag

    Your work is my favorite on this forum, Moody. You do outstanding work.
  6. I don't understand why USC won't return your software even if it violates their policy. You were given wrong info by a sales rep, therefore, they should without a doubt accept your return, unless there is more to the story than what you have shared. If it were me, I would be disputing the purchase with my credit card company. In the past, I've had great customer service with USC. It boggles me why they wouldn't help you.

    scal update

    Alohacy, Actually the new SCALP4 version has been giving me a good 1min. lag to open. The older versions were a hit or miss, some days the program would open quick, other days not. But the newest version seems the worse.

    cut out technique

    Here's a quick vid I did for a fellow member a while back showing the process. http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v609/dirttrackin280h/SCALP1_zpsdd6234e6.mp4

    Need help with a #5

    K22 Didoni. A little different. I had to thicken up the # a bit, but it's close.

    Sandblasting wood - Which mask?

    My cousin wants to make a wood sign and wants me to make him a stencil so he could sandblast it. Already tried Oracal 651 and it didn't hold up. I have a cheap MH-871 cutter with 600g of cutting pressure, who can recommend me a good sandblasting mask that will cut with my cutter and hold up to the job? Thanks in advance.

    Van and Trailer I did yesterday

    I think it looks great and is one hell of a lot of work to accomplish in one day, at least for me! My little nit picks - I would have allowed more space between the bullets from the wording on the right side door and the font seems to be too stretched as far as height goes. I would have also used a different font for those on the door - doesn't go with the rest of the vehicle lettering, but all in all great job!

    What is that..?

    Just a guess, maybe it helps the squeegee glide over the vinyl wrap more smoothly?

    Easyweed

    In my experience, using 2 layers is fine, anymore than that the design gets thick and heavy as said above.

    Sure Cuts A Lot Pro

    Updated to 3.064 yesterday and it cut horribly. The lines on my designs were not meeting, so I ended up having to restore my PC back to an earlier date. If the version you have now works, keep it!

    Store Front

    Love the font, looks very fitting to the business. I think it looks great. What kind of cutter are you using? The reason I ask is, the cuts for the text look very sloppy/choppy. This is for the text running underneath the headlines.

    will vinyl stick too....

    Before I got into the vinyl game, I had a vinyl decal on my old race trailer tire cover. This was years ago, and never did have a problem with it's durability.

    Font ID

    Thank you Wildgoose. It doesn't have to be outlined. License plate is close enough, thanks for your help.

    It's a simple one, anyone? Thank you.

    Making numbers lean in sure cuts alot

    Like this?? See the lower right corner where I highlighted. There's two windows as shown, play with the numbers on the left side, the right side will rotate the entire image.
  20. As many of you MH cutter series owners have experienced when cutting diagonal or even straight lines, they come out jagged or "choppy". My machine (MH871) is about 3 weeks old and I never really noticed the jagged lines until just the other day when I was doing a design. I read around here on the forums and tried everything! Never read anything saying to slow the cut speed down. But I decided to try and see what happens. I lowered it all the way down from 390 to 40. And changed the baud rate from 4800 to 9600 (not sure if that had an effect on anything). Now my lines are SUPER clean! No jagged lines. beautiful cuts! For all you experiencing the jagged cuts, try doing this. It helped me tremendously!

    mx jersey and t-shirt

    I've done a few jerseys with Siser Easyweed and they've come out with great results.

    First sign

    I agree, the (white colored) lettering should have been larger to fill up all that open space. Also, Shaved Ice should be centered with Ice Cream and Flavors. You got paid is all that matters, must mean the customer was happy. Good job.

    Color background and artwork color

    Because your gray layer is on top of the blue. Not sure if there is a quick fix, but this is how I do it.... highlight AUTOMOTIVE without the gray layer, right click "Copy", then delete AUTOMOTIVE....Now right click "Paste" into place over the gray layer. Make sure to "Merge" the gray layer so the cut outs inside the "O's" in Automotive are cut out. *Hope this makes sense. Sorry, I'm horrible at explaining via the net.
