Can't Vectorize an image in Vinylmaster Cut
skarekrow replied to diver4's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Re-Save your Original image in a Bitmap Program like Photoshop or Gimp as a .jpg with a slightly larger background so that the Black in your Example Image does not touch the outside edges of the Background. Alternately, you could remove the white background in a bitmap Program and save as a .png with a TRANSPARENT background and Trace in VinylMaster.. Then, Vector Trace. -
I've had excellent results with Orafol 751 and 951 on Marine installations. They're both Cast Vinyls with the exact same adhesive. The 951 is rated @ 8-10 years and the 751 @ 7 - 8 years, depending upon color and sheen.

How to shadow just the top of an image
skarekrow replied to kristidawn's topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
Yes, Dakota, that is how the 'Drop Shadow' function in Vm works. As far as not having the 2 layers over top of one another; Ungroup the 2 layers (grouped by Default when Created with the Drop Shadow Module) And Punch them out. (Not sure if the Cut Version has all these Features. -
VM cut error shut down pop up

I also had problems with it crashing with large files on my laptop but it's been smooth sailing on this i7 Desktop with 16 gigs of ram. -

With the Text Tool selected, adjust the "Physical Size" of your Glyph(s) where Highlighted in red circle. Use the Select (Arrow) Tool to Adjust the Height or Width (Left of Padlock). Unlock Proportions (Padlock icon) if you need to adjust Height & Width separately.

The Products are apparently shipped to the Buyer on (physical) USB Flash Drives.

VinylMaster Pro 4.0 Jobs Stopping midway
skarekrow replied to a topic in VinylMaster CUT, LTR, PRO & DSR
QUOTE from OP > ... and even the entire cutter swapped out for a new one and I am have the same issue!!! < This would indicate that the problem may likely be with the Computer itself. Windows 10 has presented plotter issues for other users too... maybe install your VinylMaster on an older version of Windows and/or try (free) Signblazer Plotter Program to completely eliminate those variables . Which version of Vinylmaster are you using? -
new software BEST SOFTWARE REPLACEMENT
skarekrow replied to homesteadstencilco's topic in SignBlazer
The Ioline Cutters are listed in my VinylMaster Pro Setup Wizard. -
Right Mark but, just as likely it all was made from the Serpentine Font. Check the Details in the G, the A, and the C.

need help cutting vinyl decals by hand
skarekrow replied to autometrik's topic in General discussion
Practice at 'Hand-Trimming' vinyl is fairly fruitless if your Goal is to get a Cutter. Your Practice time would be better spent working with Imaging Software and Vector Graphics, IMO. There are a few Free Programs such as Inkscape and Sign Blazer that may Better advance your Knowledge Base. 2cents. -
Not sure why there's no other answers... Looks like Franklin Gothic (maybe Bold) ? Might even have a little extra slant added...

Here's a quick, 2 color redraw... Perhaps it can Help you. It's far from perfect but the Price is Right ! NFDA_02b.svg NFDA_02b.eps edit: "Norwich Family Dental Associates" that appears below your posted image looks to be either Times New Roman (bold italic) or the similar, Adobe Caslon ?

Yup... Figuring out what works best for one's Workflow & Budget is a big deal for a shop. What may work perfect for one may be disaster for another. I print just a few Positives a week to burn Screens with and the OEM Epson pigment inks Print fine, solid Transparencies for the Halftone work, without breaking the Bank. Also have no issues with Chip Reset Workarounds & Schemes.

Agreed... Wise to stick with the Quality Products and Workmanship. The Graphics Industry has been swept the way of so many other Products and Services these days. Our World is flush with Walmart Mentality and Confusion of Low Price / Good Value.

There must be a large number of shops using poor quality inks and substrate then. I see a lot of Printed Vinyl that's faded and/or cracked. (or perhaps the Custy's aren't taking proper care of it?)
-
I'm with you there, Dakota. I stick to OEM inks in my Epsons as well.
-
Sorry, admittedly, I just scanned the Headings. I have to agree with you though Bevins... from what I know about desktop inkjet inks and PU and PolyVinyls, doesn't seem likely that the inks would adhere well or for very long. Seems like they haven't even really perfected the ecosolvent vinyl printing from the amount of it I see fading and peeling.

It does exist...
