     ill just post it..What i did was i downloaded Gs studio and created a simple image, and seen where it does not let you save it as anything but a gs file.Which is what your problem was......... .After some digging around .I came across a new update for gs that lets you save the file now as a PDF which i tried and loaded into Ai ,which will then let you save the file as what ever you may possibly need .

    So the version i downloaded originally was like 2.1.263.111  and the new version is now 2.2.1174.001 which lets you save as a PDF which opens up a new world for you hopefully...  .  I found this by clicking update in the help menu of GS and it took me to the update website ........ here is the 2 files to download and update to.. they are both labeled as needed for you.. It will take some time but all you need to do is re save every file ( LOL ) into a pdf and do as needed ( If the new program you are going to use will open a Pdf to edit..Otherwise you will need something like Ai or similar...

    Thank you. I haven't check here for awhile, but appreciate your time and efforts. I've downloaded the files and will try this.


  2. Hello Everyone,

    I currently have a Graphtec CE6000-40 and doing great stencil cutting business on eBay.

    I've been toying with the idea of getting a larger cutter (24") to maximize my cutting ability.(I cut a variety of stencil, not custom)

    I'd like to get a CE6000-60, but am also looking at other brands that may be less expensive and will do the job. My issue is that all my staple artwork is stored as ".gstudio and I'm don't know if they will be compatible.

    Any suggestion on equipment and/or saving options.

    Have a great evening!

    Thanks

     


  3. Hi Everyone,

    I current use a Graphtec CE6000-40 and love it, but I want to go to a 24" machine. My issue is the graphics that I already have (1,000+) are all cut jobs with .gstudio extensions.

    If I go with a Roland, or other brand how much trouble am I getting in to trying to use my existing cut jobs on a different brand of machine.

    I'm finding some good deals on way cheaper machines than the Graphtec line.

    Thanks for any help you can render here.

     


  4. Just an update on this cutter I bought back in April 2016. I have ben using this thing like mad as my stencil business is building on eBay, and locally. This CE6000-40 hasn't missed a beat. 

    I'm now looking at expanding with a Roland CAMM-1 PRO CM-400. I don't know how old it is, but from researching it, it must be pretty old as the connections are not USB, and the Drivers are Win95-98-NT. Anyone know how old it might be?

    Thanks again for everyone's great advise. 


  5. Wow, those stars are really nice. Thanks for all the info. I don't plan on more than just cutting stencils for cerakoting / duracoting firearms so I'm thinking a 15" machine should be good. I'll probably take all this solid advice and go up one size on the width.


  6. Any help on getting started with equipment to cut Avery yellow mask stencils for Cerakoting firearms? I'm looking at MH and SC equipment but Us Cutter Sales recommended much more expensive Titan 2....not a lot of job starting out so just need something that will cut camo, skulls, Kryptech, and so on..

    Thanks in advance
