Welcome aboard. Nice work, looks like you are off to a great start. Hope the brewery does well too!

I do not understand the part about "drive from AI CS5.1". From the ECS site you linked to it looks like you plan to design in AI, import the design to ECS and then cut. You can do this with some of the machines sold by USCutter like the SC2 using the Sure Cuts A Lot program with a Mac. Welcome aboard by the way,

Welcome aboard Derril. And what did you fix on the Graphtec?
-
Not to mention the install of a graphic of 20 feet compared to 3-4'

That is interesting s&d, what cutting program are you using and where is this command located? btw, I am using scalp 3. don't know if it is in that one or not. Thanks

Anyone can shop at Goodwill/Salvation Army.

The letters edges are not coming up square

Are the new blades the same degree angle as the old one? -
Very cool Soren. If it weren't so far I would come, with my Mopar of course.

Were you wearing a mask when you did this Arty?

KDM - I agree with haumana, that you are to be commended for giving AI a shot. Regarding the cut of that design, though, gets back to what Mz Skeeter was trying to help you with. AI does not tell your machine how to cut, or how deep to cut - or anything other than where to cut, from this point to that point. If you have a second layer in your design, the machine is still only being told to cut from point A to point B a second or third time. If your blade depth is set correctly, a second cut or even a third cut on the same path will not cut through the backing paper. That is from the voice of experience... I usually always do designs with the pen tool first, and that is one of the reasons why.

Not just the vinyl world, any business operated as a "sole proprietorship".

Shane, that is a huge difference. Did you have to adjust your offset or overcut when you switched blades?

12x12 or 15x12 sheets? 15" TITAN3
Cal replied to StayHungryFL's topic in Table TITAN Series Vinyl Cutter Discussions
Yep, just on paper. I will throw this out there for you too. Using the knife you likely have some degree of overcut set to allow the knife to complete the cut in the corners. The pen tool overcut would properly be set to 0* or the corners will look a bit funky. I just live with the funkiness rather than switching back and too. -

Scott, if your machine has a pen tool you can reduce the amount of wasted vinyl by drawing out your design first. -
Those are super Mark! Do you apply any type of finish to the wood on the American Made sign? When you did the Signs sign, what was the painting technique you used?

Welcome aboard HV, now Goose, how did you get the lights to vary horizontally like that?
-
How big are the decals that you will be cutting out? Designing & cutting them out is only half the job. Application is another. When the job is farmed out you know and pay for what you get. Doing it yourself? Takes some practice. And welcome aboard!

Right now I have an Armstrong system. Never heard of it? It only requires me to unplug it during a storm... In all seriousness, here is a link to some info that might help you out. You may have to get by the ads to find what you want, but afaik the info is correct: https://www.georgiapowermarketplace.com/pages/power-strips-buyers-guide

Problems with my cutter scratching vinyl horribly
Cal replied to hzurell's topic in MH Series Vinyl Cutters
I will throw something else in here for you. Do you have a pen tool for this machine? If you do, use that and do your experiments with so that you are not wasting vinyl.- 28 replies
