Thanks for your advise

I have my first sign job, and have a few questions. It's for a hair salon and she's not sure if she wants it on the window or on a substrate. If it's going on the window I would think white would be the color choice. But if it's going on a white substrate and hung in the window what would be the best color to use as far as being able to see it clearly? Oh, the sign will be about 2'x3' Next question. I've read 46 degrees is the low temp to apply vinyl, so I guess I would have to wait till spring to apply to window or put it on the inside? Also want to give a BIG thank you to Levi for getting my machine on the right track. I was having a lot of problems with it freezing up like so many of you on here, so I took the forums advise and bought a usb/serial cable. Installed it ok but it wouldn't work. Talked to Levi and it wouldn't work for him either. Put the usb back in and he got that working without freezing up. I'm hoping it continues. Thanks again!

Very cool...looks old! How do you do it?

OMG...What a surprise to see the address and actually know where it is! I'm from Pa. but my husband and I have a place in Old Town. Will be down for the month of March. Can't wait to get out of the white stuff. Getting 15 inches more of it tonight. By the way the signs look good

Jay you read my mind w/ the adobe reader, thats what I was trying to open them in. Don't have illustrator.

Thanks guys you just saved me $215, and my time. I'll just go with the Corel and learn from there. I think my neice has a training cd to go with it.

Thanks for the in put. My neice has Corel X2 and is going to download it on my laptop. So if I would take AI it would help me learn the Corel program.

Just received a brochure from the local community college and they have 2 Graphic Arts classes coming up in March. Which one would benefit me more? Intro to Adobe Illustrator or Intro to Adobe Photoshop CS3. I've only had my Creation P-cut cutter/plotter about 3 weeks and I know I need help and am willing to take classes but don't want to waste my money or time. Whats the dif between the 2?

Wondering why I can't open files on the forum. adobe says not a supported file type or file has been damaged.

Welcome from cold and snowy PA.

Thanks everyone, I'll probably download inkscape in the near future when I'm more comfortable with all this jibberish. Been doing just one color cuts for now. Which is getting a little boring. Haven't gotten the hang of importing stuff or vectorizing but I've been trying and I keep going back to the SBE manual to try to see where I'm going wrong. No problem, this machine isn't going to beat me. At least not yet!

Called Ross the other day @ clean cut and he couldn't have been more helpful! Wanted a 60 to try since a lot of the forum talk that I've read will be better to cut finer/smaller fonts. Also told me to try adjusting the offset and to call him back if I had any questions. Now you don't hear that from too many company's. Got the blade already and just wanted to give a thumbs up to Ross and CCB. Plus got the discount for being a forum member! Thanks for all the help on this forum, I'm slowly learning.

I hear a lot of talk about inkscape, do I need it or can SBE be used solely. What's the dif between the 2?

Thanks, now I have to see if I can get it to sign blazer. Never done this before.

Looking for 2 mustang silhouette's. 1 a 1967-69 the other 1985 conv. I searched here and on the free clip-art sites but didn't find any.
