I've heard that there are programs that can automatically add bridging to text but, most any vector program can be used to manually create bridges. Often, in graffiti work, a second altered stencil is used to paint over the "bridge blanks" after aligning over the previously sprayed, bridged version, thereby covering them over. If using adhesives with stencils there is no need for bridging.

Right Goose... I believe it was actually you who brought that fact to light a while back.

Was my first guess too, Mark... till I looked at that wide "D". Grotesque for sure.

Check under "Sans Serif>Helvetica>Daaag, I should know this"

QUOTE> "The Titan 2 comes with Vinyl Master software, which is available in a Mac version (choose from the dropdown menu on the ordering page). " Correct me if I'm wrong but, I thought the Titan is Mac compatable but pretty sure VinylMaster Software is not. Notice the drop down selection for "Mac Software" does not mention a Vinylmaster version.

Maybe a Rewards/Points Program for some Free Shipping?

Not only is the TC a great cutter, it is well supported with software. In SignCut (a free Trial download) the later model is listed as "Liyu TC" and the other older model, I believe, is listed under "US Cutter TC". SignBlazer (abandon ware) supports it as well a trial download of VinylMaster. If I recall correctly, there is also some RS-232 emulation driver software that may be necessary to install.

Looks like it was the Copam he was praising. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/profile/342-blake2415/

Don't know if this is helpful or not... DirtyTaxi_02b.eps

From what I can tell, Vm Cut is short on Essential Modules and Features for folks looking for Professional Grade Software. True, what's there should work well but a Comparison of Features shows it comes up short for my everyday needs. http://www.vinylmasterxpt.com/vinylmaster-xpt-home/features-and-comparison-list/ Perhaps the Hobbyist or average Home Crafts person could be satisfied but, Face it folks, Good Tools cost $'s. Do yourself a bigger favor and download the free Pro Version Trial. http://www.vinylmasterseries.com/en/downloads_vmp.html

I'd say just make your own from a foto you've taken of an actual shirt you intend to create. Drag the raster foto right into your design software and create/place the image right over top. You could redraw or auto vector the foto for a permanent, resizeable template but, I suggest photographing All your needed size shirts cause you know the proportions vary. This will give you a real-world examples with the ability to measure the intended areas of different size garments.

I do & have owned Vm Pro for just over 2 years. Haven't found anything in the vector arena it can't handle with ease. The "Cut" version primal mentioned is the bare-bones version and (though I've never used it) has scant few of the tools and abilities of the Pro version. Don't know what the exact problem with his importing but, Drag & Drop is my preferred method for "importing" svg's (or any other file type for that matter)... couldn't be easier, IMO. Among so many other things, Vm Cut apparently doesn't have the vectoring module or the ability to export pdf's. Can't imagine being happy with the "Cut" version either and would suggest you step up to at least the Pro(fessional) version.

Popping up with Firefox as well...

I do like the Epsons. My WF 3620 hasn't given a minutes trouble in the 2 years I've owned it and the Epson DuraBrite pigments are touted as being some of the finest pigments for inkjet transfers. Aftermarket tank (CISS) systems are available as well. The 7620 is basically the same machine but also capable of larger, 13"x19" printout.

Don't know if the Titan offers it but my Graphtec has a TANGENTIAL Mode From the Manual "This function should be used for the cutting of thick media (more than 0.3 mm in thickness) and when the cutter blade is not able to turn properly due to the cutting depth, resulting in discrepancies between the start and finish point and the inability to cut sharp corners." The Overcut amount is particularly important when in this mode. You might try a different Sandblast resist. I have cut fairly detailed masks with this 12 mil product with great success with my Liyu TC and Graphtec CE5000. Also, there are much heavier duty plotters made for cutting stencil materials. Bren comes to mind.

Indeed, I am sure... of both answers. They're one in the same. Reconsidered my easy answer after noticing that the OP has been just fishing Font id's from the forum over the past 6 months and thought instead to give a couple of clues toward them searching and finding it on their own. Heck, they might even learn something about fonts in the process. Sofachrome is a Futuristic font family created by Ray Larabie. What are you sure of?

Ahh yes... One of Ray Larabie's Futuristic font creations. Slightly modified.

'Northstar' is somewhat close, if you stretch it ...

"What are the pros thoughts?" You created 20 decals, in 3 to 4 different vector designs, in 1, 2, and 3 layers, cut and weeded them in sizes ranging from A4 down to 6 sq inches... For $35 to $40 ? I think you are not doing yourself or the profession any favors with those prices. Nor can you possibly be accounting for Overhead or Taxes and it's likely you'll soon be 'out of business'.

I vaguely recall having a similar problem back when I had a SignCut subscription. Seems I fixed it with either moving the SC program from the "Program Files (x86)" to the regular "Program Files" folder and/or adding the location to the "Paths" Statement... Sorry I don't remember more. It's been a couple of years since SignCut. I understand SignCut Support is very helpful.
