    Cutting help!?

    Hello I am new here so work with me if I am not 100% sure what I'm talking about. I am using Sure Cuts A Lot Pro and I can get the image onto the screen correctly but when I go to cut it everything cuts correctly except that the 2 and the 6 end up on top of the 1 and the 1. I have tried everything to get it to not happen this way but nothing seems to work. I have attached the image so what I am saying makes a little more sense. Also i was sent items as eps or ai (not sure what that means) and when I try to open them in the program Sure Cuts a lot Pro they are not compatible with it or just wont open in it, the only thing I can do is print them and then scan them back to the computer, what do I do?
  5. Hi everyone! I probably put this in the wrong category, but i need some advice on application tape. Is there such a thing as one "Perfect" Application Tape ? Up to now I've been making do with clear contact paper or Oracal Tape sheets from the craft store. It gets pricey this way in the long run, and I am thinking of making the leap to ordering a roll of application tape. I use Oracal 631 and I have some Greenstar that I use for exterior projects. , Once I'm out of Greenstar, I'll likely switch over to 651 for our out door projects. Here's what I'm looking for: 1-Can be used for Oracal 631 and the occasional GreenStar project. (if that's possible). 2-I'd also like it to be clear (a paper that has some transparency would be OK too) because I occasionally come up wth a design that is multi-colored so I need to see my registration marks. 3- something that won't drive complaints back to me if I have someone else do the application. 4- Last but not least, needs to be available in 15" width. I appreciate the your feed back! I'm just not sure what to order and I feel sort of overwhelmed with all choices. Thanks again....

    total noob

    hi guys and sorry if some of this is in the wrong place..... I found your forum when doing a google search today I am based in the UK and have a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine and am currently buying a ce5000-60 My wife and I have been designing and making some decals for cars..... https://www.facebook.com/bigrdecals I have noticed the Silhouette studio and the Graphtec studio are like identical, however neither allow me to save a file as a vector to be used by our clothing company which is a real pain. I have tried to use Illustrator and traced my png files, and I have tried to print from the software to pdf and load it in and trace it, but I am not happy with the quality. so my questions are if your able to help or point me in the right direction. is there a way I can get all my Silhouette files to load in my Graphtec studio? ( otherwise I am likely to have t printscreen each project/layer and trace in the Graphtec ) is there an easier way to get my files to a vector file for others to work with? and any tips anyone had for me would be great many thanks in advance.....

    Seal vinyl

    I am trying to seal a vinyl cutout to a dish. I saw online a person painted something on top so that the vinyl wouldn't peel off and I can't seem to find what product I need to use. I want to be able to cutout monograms etc and put them on some vintage dishes I have. I have used Blair spray, liquitex and several other sprays as well as heat and none of them make the vinyl not peel up. The one I have was given to me as a gift from the etsy business, but all she would tell me was that she didn't use a spray. HELP!!! Does anyone know what product I need to use. The dish I have you can't see brush strokes or even tell where something was put ontop of the vinyl, it just has no edges where it can be peeled off.

    Shrinkage problems HELP!

    Having some issues with my Geo Knight 25s Heat Press. I'm sublimating lycra blend fabric panels, and have two different heat presses to work with. The 25s is shrinking the fabric excessively, and causing the color to come out very saturated and darker than when pressed on the other machine. We've tried pressing anywhere from 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, at anywhere from 25 seconds to 1 minute. Any help would be much appreciated, as i am up against a deadline and cant find the answer anywhere. Please Help!!
  12. Hello all, My names Mike & Id just like to start off with I'm new to the page and the vinyl world as well. I apologize for posting in the wrong section ( If I even did, I tried my hardest not to ). I have done research for the past month now on vinyl and plotters ETC and having trouble getting to understand it all. I want to open a small out of home business doing decals for cars (Im on many different car pages with thousands of people on each) and maybe even making banners depending on how successful I become at it all. I also use a Macbook Pro 13" laptop and see some issues with that alone but then I see some greats and how Mac is the way to go. My overall question is I see two starter kits I feel is good but just not 100% sure for what I want to do. One is the Vinyl Cutter Bundle - Sign Cutting Plotter w/ Sure Cuts A Lot Pro Design Sale 31.5" Laserpoint II, Tools, Supplies, Tot Value $1,200+ Off Ebay threw UScutter and The other is the SC basic business kit. PLEASE HELP, as to not wanting to spend a crazy amount upfront and just want to get my feet wet to make back what I put into it and after that start to profit. - THANK YOU IN ADVANCE _ Mike

    Im Such a Newb!!

    Hey!! I'm completely new to this whole world of cutters, and I have a US Cutter Laserpoint II. I need some guidance with the SCAL Pro software (or if anyone can suggest other softwares to use with it). I've been trying to cut this "Paul Walker" quote, vinyl decal for my car, but every time i import an image and try to cut it, it's just a complete mess of overlapping cuts. Is there any way to make the image a solid image and not have all the little random cut pieces in it (if that makes any sense at all) PLEASE H E L P & Thanks!! -Reina
  14. Please help! I am brand new to this thread so please forgive me if I am putting it in the wrong spot. I have a USCutter Model SC Plotter which I run with SCAL Pro. I have done vinyl designs on it for a couple of months now, upgrading from my personal desktop machine. The problem I am having is that no matter how I set my vinyl to feed through the machine, it keeps feeding crooked as it cuts. It basically starts out straight, but it is feeding at a slant. I have tried taping a ruler to be sure I am putting the vinyl straight, using every single possible guide line, adjusting the rollers to different widths, but am stumped. How can I make this machine feed straight? Can anyone please help me as I am losing so much time constantly correcting the angle of the vinyl. Thanks so much!

    Just Starting

    I'm a designer with some sign shop experience from college and we've been having a ton of small decal jobs come in for a restaurant that we've just launched. So I've convinced my boss to looking into purchasing a plotter for our office so we don't have to continuously bother printers for these little odd jobs. Are there any recommendations for plotters on the cheaper side that produce decent work? We're not looking to purchase a $1,000 plotter or anything. Just one that can get some simple tasks done. Do you think that it's worth it to purchase a cheaper plotter? Thanks in advance -CJ
  16. Let me start off by saying hello and thank you for a great forum. I have learned quite a lot from reading countless posts. That being said I have a problem of my own that I cannot seem to fix. I recently acquired a used pcut 630 that I was told worked great when I got it. After getting it home I turned it on for the first time to verify the settings, I tried to turn the feed rollers by pushing the up and down arrows on the keypad and the rollers don't turn either direction, there is only a humming noise coming from the stepper motor. I increased the cut speed to 090 and the rollers would only move above one step and the motor would hum again. If I decrease the cut speed to 010 the rollers don't move at all and the humming is quieter. The feed rollers can easily be turned by hand when the machine is turned off, but they seem frozen when the machine is turned on. I don't know where to go from here. Any advice will greatly be appreciated.
  17. Hello, im just starting to use CorelDraw for designing graphics, I have ve lxi expert software that I have been using. im designing race car graphics and I can make them using a template in draw, but I want to bring the design into my software to cut the different graphics, i'll attach a picture of a simple design of a flame decal, it is a larger decal I placed where I wanted, but there is some of the design that runs off the car and is hidden due to the template. I only want to cut what shows on the car, not all the extra of the design, or if I can possibly cut a few inches extra to help when installing them. Would it be best to powerclip the flame into the outline of the car, then just export it? not sure what works best, im sure it would be easier if I were printing the design but don't have the capabilities for that yet, just cut vinyl. Thank you for any advice and help.

    Font help

    I used this font on a customers design but computer crashed looking for help identifying it its a rather common one. ignore the star in the top as i had to add that myself.
  20. Hi, ok so i have a refine mh721 bought second hand but not overly used before i had it. Now i have been using propely cutting various wall stickers and garment vinyls etc for about a month. Not had a single issue. Until last night Half way through a larger cut the blade got caught or some mishap that led to the blade being dragged of its track, i reset the blade on the track etc and then it seemed to be working finished the order and then went to start the next. Then the problem happened, it stopped cutting mid design and just had some funky stuff on the lcd display. So i switched the plotter on/off, on reboot, the display is now blank and all three lights are lit (red-reset, amber-online/offine, green-setup) I am gutted. I am new to plotters but have some technical knowledge that i have picked up along the way. So i have check the 'simple things' or so i believe. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance
  21. The right side of my image will not stay clean even if its the same points as the left. This is hard to explain in text but easy to see in the pictures. When mirroring the image and uploading them at the same time the left side is perfect but the right side is bad has any one ever seen this before. perfect in illustrator, bad in SCA

    Course vs. Fine etched vinyl

    What is the better looking etched vinyl in your eyes? course or fine silver etched ? Thanks
  23. I am using the 14" MH series to cut stencils no bigger than 8" by 8" out of vinyl. My SCALP version is 3.052. I used the trace function to create a cutable file from a .jpg. The first file I cut turned out perfect. It was not very complicated and only a few small shapes. The second file I tried was more intricate, but in the same size range. Approx 6" x 6". . The first attempt with the second image resulted in an orientation shift of a small portion of the image. One foot was rotated 90 degrees on the axis and was cut along the left side wing area. Small small straight lines were also left, almost as though it was attempting to finish the cut prior to the orientation change. The second attempt had the same issue, only with a different small portion of the image. If I remember correctly, one the wing sections was shifted 90 degrees on the axis and a long cut was made to get the cutter to that point. On both there were cuts, not in the file, across the image. It appears the cutter was not lifted between movements. The image below is the base image to the file I created in SCALP, for reference to the above descriptions. I can post the SCAL file if it would help. My questions are: Is there a way to stop this from happening? Is the file too intricate for this cutter? Is this a cutter problem, rather than software? My assumption was maybe the program is sending incorrect information or is set incorrectly.

    Carolina Panthers Vectorizing

    I am looking for a vector eps file of the new Carolina Panthers logo (with the words). Thank you in advance for your help, Rachael
  25. Well I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have as of yet had zero luck selling anything online. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or not doing but something isn't right. I have merchandise listed on two facebook pages, ebay, etsy, and craigslist. I get about one call a week from my many craigslist adds and so far one has actually bought something. The only vinyl product I have sold on Ebay was for an auction I started at $5 and there was only one bid. Just wondering if anyone would be willing to shoot a tip or two my way about what they have had good results with. I have shirts, wall art, and vehicle graphics listed for sale.
