Gadget Man

Thank you Racinboy30. You are a life saver. Since I am new at this and only do things for family & friends, I don't get enough practice to learn all the ins and outs. Thanks for yours also Jay2703, Thats the same issue I was having also. lol

I got off of Brands of the world a graphic for my buddys boat. Problem is it needs to be opposite for the other side of the boat. If someone can tell me how it would help (in CS4) or if you can do it for me would be better since I am under a deadline. To explain it more in detail..the lettering is italicized and i need it to lean back for the opposite side. Graphics are easier then lettering. Thanks so much for your help. Boston_Whaler.eps

Thank you Pastortommy. Trying to put a little something together for my niece's baby shower. Anything else baby related would help also. Thanks again.

I need one also for my niece.

Take a 10" piece of scrap vinyl and try and make a cut and see where it stops. Then use a 12" or larger and try cuting something longer. If it stops at the same distance from the end, I would guess a sensor of some type preventing it to continue due to "no material".

Please do not beat me up on this! LOL My question is... When I buy or DL eps files, alot of them are not "clean". Meaning the lines are all bumpy and wavy and not smooth like others. Almost like drawing a line on paper then looking at it under a microscope. It looks like someone printed these out and faxed them around the world and I got the end result! Is ther a trick or program to use so I can clean them up? Example: Tribal should have nice clean, sharpe lines not like my 5yr daughter traced it. If this is posted on the forum already Sorry..I couldn't find it. Jim

Newbie here. It seems every Font that contains a Logo or Picture comes out with really rough edges. Logos that have normal round shape to them have a jagered edge when I enlarge them. Is this normal? Is there a way to correct it without redrawing it? Thanks for your help.

I heard 2 ways to make carved pumpkins last 2+ weeks. 1: Submerge pumpkin in a tbsp to bleach solution for 8hrs right after carving. or 2: apply petroleum jelly on the cut outs to seal them. Never tried it. Will next year.

Thanks for the help everyone!

hello from Long Island, NY

I did watch this video....But @ 3:30am. LOL Now that I watched it again I realized what I was doing wrong! I was Starting from the bottom and layering to the top! lol In the video he goes from the top to the bottom. Maybe leave watching instuctional videos for when I'm a little more awake! Thank you again.

OK, I'm am very new to the vinyl cutter scene and I looked at most videos and stuff on line for help. I know about reg marks and align everything. The problem I have is when I lay the second color down the transfer tape picks up the first color so I can't lay the last color down. I even tried cutting the tape down into shapes to make it cover less of the first layer. lol I am using T Tape clear and Oracal 651 vinyl. Thanks for all your input. The forums here have been a great help so far!
