    Don't have any of those programs....

    Don't have a clue about Photoshop, tried it a couple of times and got completely lost, so I gave up.

    I have Corel, but I haven't had time to sit down and work it out.

    Your vectors are awesome!!!

     A.) Can I wrap cars/motorcycles with this machine?You would be able to wrap a motorcycle, but probably not a car.  You would have quite a few seams with a car.  You really need a 60" machine for that and they can run as much as $40K.

     B.) What size vinyl can fit into this machine? And, what kind of vinyl should I start with?  You can use anything up to 48" in the machine.  Be advised that the cutter is a cutter only.  

      C.) Should I get a weeding and applying kit or just buy the stuff I need separate? And, what stuff is REALLY necessary. This is a matter of choice actually.  I bought everything separate.  You may or may not use some of the stuff in the kit.  I use 4inch squeegees, x-acto knives, a rotary cutter, homemade app fluid, papertowels, and dental picks from harbor freight for weeding.

     D.) Can this machine print directly on the vinyl? If so where do I get the ink?  This machine is a cutter only.  There is no ink.  The LP is for contour cutting AFTER YOU HAVE PRINTED ON SPECIAL VINYL WITH A SPECIAL PRINTER.  I was confused when I bought my 24" LP.  I do stencils for airbrushing on motorcycles and ATV's (and some race cars).  I have used the 24inch without a problem.

     E.) Is it worth it? Is this machine a good machine? Will it do everything I want it to and more?  I have an LP24, but I wish I had purchased a p-cut or roland.  I hope to upgrade soon.  The LP is a good starter machine though.

    If I can help in any other way, pm me and we'll talk on the phone if you need.

    Your 2cents Not Needed

    I am faithful to my friends and have their back.

    Speed is very knowledgable and helps many people with problems.

    Don't believe me, look through the post history.

    As for my "2cents", I still live in America and have the right to speak my mind.

    I wasn't trying to be snotty or anything, I just wanted to give you some advice regarding this forum.

    You have an opportunity to have a whole team of people at your back helping you get off the ground, yet you act this way, just because you didn't get the answer you wanted.

    Now, to get snotty, with your attitude, you won't make it in this business.  This business is a people business and you are undoubtedly not a people person.

    Best of luck to you at another forum.

    Thanks Dakota for having my back, like a good friend does!!!!

    ....

    anything else you want from me?

    Just a word of advice.

    Don't bite the hands that feed you.

    To get snotty with people on here, no one will help you.

    Everyone here is friendly with the each and have been talking for years.

    Speed was trying to help with some GENERAL troubleshooting.  Since you did not signify what you were using, she gave you GENERAL advice.

    Just some advice

    Yes, that would probably be the easiest, rather than weeding out the words and inserting the text.

    I have layered three colors and it still looked great.

    I am going to try a four layer this weekend, but I'm not to sure about it.  I think it's going to be too heavy.

    Hi everyone, I came back for a while.

    Most of you might remember me as Round 2 Racing, but my vinyl business is MacGrafix Vinyl.

    Glad to see all of you again and look forward to meeting the newbies!!!

    If it goes into "not responding" when you are tryng to cut, disconnect your usb from you computer (or the cutter) and it snaps it back to attention.

    I have had to do it a few times, doesn't hurt anything, just makes SBE stand up and pay attention again.

    I never had a countdown until I downloaded it to my Windows 7.

    Now I can't get rid of the thing.

    I'm not worried about having the full version, I'm just fine with the trial one.

    I just hate my customer seeing the countdown, makes me look cheap.

    Anyone know how to get rid of this thing?

    I am up to like 45 seconds and it's still going up, it adds a second for each time you open it.

    It's the Full elements version, the UK version, with all cutters. Basic 6.0,  but it has alot more features to it than regular basic. or what comes on the cd. Your welcome

    Speed, where can someone get that version?  I would love to have it, because I am now up to a waiting period of 45 seconds with the trial version and it just keeps going higher.  Also, I would like to use a lot of the features in the manual that are not in this version.  I got this version off the support page from USC for my LP24.
