Howdy all, Been away from the forums for a while. about a thousand years ago I researched going full Linux in my shop and was mostly successful except for communicating with the cutter "refine 721". After a hardware issue on the Windows box feeding the cutter I decided to search again http://inkcut.sourceforge.net/ I set it up on Ubuntu 10.04 and was able to cut a path directly through the USB port, something I was never able to get working in Windows even with the nifty driver "not a slam on Windows ". Was so excited I needed to pop on and show my first cut :-)

they don't stand still long enough to have their image captured and if you did get a glimpse it would be your last :-)

Thanks John, I have not been on the forums in a while and its good to see you are still hard at it :-) I am working with a friend to get all my windows programs that I cannot replace moved over to Linux using wine and will report back if i can get SignBlazer running..

made while waiting on cutter :-)

great needed one for the boss

have look at this http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=dodger

I am always forgetting what i am doing so have to double check. after tracing bitmap I move the top image down, you will notice while the moved image is selected inkscape states that it is the path "bottom panel in inkscape" and is the one you want to save, click the top image and the panel will change to image, you should delete this one.

Thanks Andy, I will show this to them for other projects but for this banner i really need to find a steam engine with cars. Thanks again

that would be perfect they only want a one color banner :-)

Hey all, life has been keeping me busy and i have a lot of catch up reading to do.. Helped a bunch of guys at work on their go-cart racing helmets and caught the attention of our reclusive warehouse troll. turns out he is a hardcore model train nut and is very involved in the local club. The club has a graphic of a steam train turning toward the viewer with the cars banking to the right loosing perspective and would be perfect for a table banner but has been photo copied so many times there is no way I could clean it up. at this point any nice engine and train would work but not having much luck finding one that would convert well. Thanks for any help

oops been bad and not reading, missed all the fun! http://vinylrocket.com/

ok maybe not the right spot to ask but if one was to try t-shirt vinyl, could you use an iron for one shirt? Thanks

just got the serial cable replaced on my Refine 721 and it is indeed a null modem cable db9 male to female, my first trip to the computer store was for a non null and no talky talky the cable was only $10 but unfortunately there are a thousand other things to impulse buy while I'm there

by the by thanks again for all your support this is one of the best forums ever! also needed some vinyl quick, ordered Sunday and got it today, way to go Uscutter

Ok i have her running now under the usb but its going to keep me up nights not knowing why, could I have killed my old cable "always moving machine" and then bought a non null cable? Inquiring minds need to know :-) Thanks all Chad
