PIXEL resolution way too high on my original attempts. When I lowered per your clip things started to happen - for the better i.e. I'll continue to work on this one but it looks like I am OK. Thanks

I am doing a door design which incorporates a logo, basic rectangles and some text. I am happy with the door design but I need to send off a proof via EMAIL so I am trying to get a.jpeg created of the whole door. If I try to "export" as a .jpeg nothing happens unless I try and export only the TEXT portion. That is, when I select only the text protion - it appears to work. Do I need to weld or group or something else in order to export this completed file as a .jpeg??

I need to make some lettering with a "SHADOWED " effect but all the way around. I would like to be able to type a word and then replicate and finally modify the text so that I can cut two sets of the same text on different colors and finally place the smaller of the two on top. The problem I have is a white canopy onto which I need to print orange vinyl lettering and I am sure it will not get the effect intended. Therefore, I would like to put black behind the orange to make it stand out.

HOLD ON - I'VE GOT IT. It takes a bit of reverse thinking but I did figure it out and now understand how the software works. I will experiment a bit more but I am now sure I can get it. Thanks for your understanding! T DUTCH

Please excuse my ignorance. I am not sure what will actually be cut when I send this to the cutter. I'll give it a try but am not sure of the actual process and what to weed? I will actually be cutting this twice right? I want to cut the entire background [black] and then cut only the orange - I guess that is possible but I just don't know the mechancis.

Yes essentially an outline but I would like one set of cut lettering of BLACK to say "OVHA" and then I would like to be able to cut another set in orange which would fit directly over the black essentially giving the orange [smaller set] a black background.

I have noticed that when I am MS Word e.g. I can select small caps [or lower case caps] when formatting a font. Can I do this in SB? That is, can I make a string of text with all caps with the first letter of larger size? I need to make a curved arrangement of a three word group JOHN DEERE PLOW CO. where the J D P C are larger than the balance of the lettering but all are in caps. If I have to make individual letter text entries it looks like a nightmare effort.

Hi all. Dutch from Southern Indiana and very new to cutting. I purchased PC630? and could use some help gettting up and running. I restore old antique machinery and will hopefully use the PCUT to make custom relpications of old old stencil work. In some cases I even have to create new fonts. Am I in the right place? I have loaded drivers etc have have USB port COM4 assigned but cannot get the cutter to physically move. It says it is ON LINE and I create a simple text word in SB "SELECT" it, then use the ICON to CUT. It creates a "JOB" and stays on the job list for about 20-30 seconds then goes away. Cutter TEST works fine. I just put the pen in the PCUT and put a regular piece of paper in. Any ideas or should I post somewhere else?

Hi, I am thinking about buying a cutter to make lettering and designs for my hobby - restoring old antique farm implements. Typical panel areas are 8 x 20" or so. What I will need to do would be a combination of lettering and some simple graphics. The lettering typically involves modifications to standard fonts [using Font Creator]. There are very few if any overlapping colors or objects. I would need to use these modified TRUETYPE fonts as well as these simple graphics. Actually, I can create much of the artwork in the font creator software. There may be an occasion where I may need to scan a tracing in [vectorizing needed?] I would probably use this once every couple of weeks [if that often] as the bulk of the work will be in the preapration. Any thoughts on which cutter I should be looking at?

I'm a novice at this cutter and posted this message in the welcome area - just copied the text to this location. any help would be appreciated. Hi all.

I'm just getting started and will most likely be cutting simple colors and applying them to painted wood. What specific vinyl should I be looking for and how do i get actual samples. Which company has the best vinyl for this application? Are there more than one?

Would a good model be the PCUT? 24"
