Sure, I have been cutting and testing a few different vectors including a couple of mine that are originals I made in Illustrator. I'll post some of my tests up in the submission forum.

Thanks again for the replies. I got my MH-721 last week and unpacked it down in the office and while I was at it I took a few shots with my camera. I thought it may help some pre-sales and questions about what shows up on your doorstep after ordering. If it's something the admins don't want on here, or want it in a different section please do whatever you need to do. Anyway, here it is as I got it and unpacked it:

Hey, this worked perfectly! Thank you!

Thanks Jay, I should have mentioned I have tried that and when I do that the font is not the same as what I am using in Ill. So, I'm still in the same boat. Any ideas?

Ive searched and found nothing, and I'm sure this is an easy problem. I am creating text in Illustrator and copy/paste into SB Elements. In Illustrator the text is aligned and looks fine, but when I paste into SB the letters are then grouped and stacked on top of each other. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks guys, I have the box sitting here on my living room floor. I'll unpack it here in a few when I get in in my office!

Thank you - I was really hoping to get a Pcut, but decided to go with the MH-721 after seeing the auction prices going up and up. I waited for a few days watching and finally was a winner. I read it's a really decent cutter to get started and learn on. I suppose if the jobs come in and the $$ is right I can upgrade later, but for now I'm going to put this one to the test. I don't know if it would help anyone, but I could take a few pictures as I unbox everything and get it set up. I know it would have helped me (pre-sale) to get a better idea on the size (height, width etc.) and all the equipment in the box. Just a thought!

Hi all! Just wanted to say hello and thanks to all that have posted useful info about purchasing an entry level machine. I'm starting out with the MH-721 (w/ stand) from USCutter to cut stickers for my auto enthusiasts club. I figured I could save a little money and make some at the same time getting my own setup instead of paying someone else to cut them for me. Thanks to USCutter and the eBay auction I won I only need to sell ~100 stickers to break even - can't beat that! Anyway, I also got my roll of 24" x 10 Oracal 751 for some long lasting window decals from signwarehouse. I need some application tape, but I'm hoping to find something local. I'll be reading up in the other threads - thanks! Mike

I've been using Oracal 751 for my car website URL and it has held up great. I am just now getting set up to cut my own stickers to help fund the site. I made a 7"x1" sticker of the URL and had it on my car for at least 2-3 years with no fading, shrinking and it came off fairly easily with the residue being removed with some 90% rubbing alcohol on the glass. Just ordered some white 751 from signwarehouse and am waiting on getting my cutter/plotter from uscutter soon.
