mb20music--thanks, but it did not show up in sign blazer elements...am I doing something wrong? ruizarte-- convert to curves where? I am new to all these programs...I know some stuff about photoshop but not familiar with illustrator, I've just been trying stuff I see online--how do you convert to curves? Thanks for the replies

hey guys and ladies, i need some help here before i go crazy LOL...I am making this for a good friend of mine who passed away last week in a motorcycle accident...for some reason i can't get this image i designed to work with sign blazer correctly...I have tried using Illustrator CS3, Photoshop and even vector magic bu for some reason its getting messed up with sign blazer...it winds up coming out with messed up edges and all sorts of crazy stuff..i know its not my cutter because i have cut other stuff and it comes out perfect, so it must be something i am doing or something with the conversion...can someone please help out and set this image up so i can cut it in sign blazer..Ive been working on this for 2 days now and can't figure it out! Thanks all, i really appreciate any help you can give me John

Thanks--I am will try cutting it and see how it goes--thanks for the quick response--its appreciated.

Ok thanks, here is the original image-see what you think--I attached 2 different ones

Ok cool I see that--now how did u do that and in what program? LOL I actually tried using inkscape and it seemes to work better but i would still like to know how u do that-thanks. Also-With programs like inkscape, vectormagic and sign blazer is there really a need to get adobe illustrator? I am familiar with photoshop, but not with illustrator Thanks for all your help-its greatly appreciated--everyone claims signlazer is an easy software to work with as far as editing, but I still cant figure it out-guess it takes practice, maybe if there was a book on it it would make it easier.

I am very unfamiliar with sign blazer--I really dont know how to split the objects--do you do that in sign blazer?

I am attaching the image I got back from VM--its in EPS format. I am trying to edit it in signblazer the way you guys are saying but for some reason it wont let me. If you can try cuting it on your cutter and see if it does the same for you-it retraces the image twice. Maybe I am doing something wrong here I dont know lol FDNY_MIA3.eps FDNY_MIA3.eps

Make sure your plotter is switched to ONLINE-i made that mistake the first time also.

Thanks for the help, that didnt work though-i tried deleting but it deleted the whole image, then I tried selecting and dragging but that didnt work either--from vector magic are you downloading the eps file or another file? You can go right from vector magic to sign balzer right?

Hey all--I am new to the vinyl cutting scene and I have the PCUT CT630. I noticed for some reason on some images that it keeps cutting it twice(recuts over the same cuts) this is causing it to cut through the paper and making a mess. I have been using vector magic to vectorize the images-it seems like those are the images its cutting twice. I am using the sign blazer software the cutter came with. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks
