DUTCH 1 Posted July 3, 2009 I need to make some lettering with a "SHADOWED " effect but all the way around. I would like to be able to type a word and then replicate and finally modify the text so that I can cut two sets of the same text on different colors and finally place the smaller of the two on top. The problem I have is a white canopy onto which I need to print orange vinyl lettering and I am sure it will not get the effect intended. Therefore, I would like to put black behind the orange to make it stand out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted July 3, 2009 So, is it really an outline you want and not a shadow? Thy Manipulate + Inline/Outline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUTCH 1 Posted July 3, 2009 Yes essentially an outline but I would like one set of cut lettering of BLACK to say "OVHA" and then I would like to be able to cut another set in orange which would fit directly over the black essentially giving the orange [smaller set] a black background.

DUTCH 1 Posted July 3, 2009 Please excuse my ignorance. I am not sure what will actually be cut when I send this to the cutter. I'll give it a try but am not sure of the actual process and what to weed? I will actually be cutting this twice right? I want to cut the entire background [black] and then cut only the orange - I guess that is possible but I just don't know the mechancis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUTCH 1 Posted July 4, 2009 HOLD ON - I'VE GOT IT. It takes a bit of reverse thinking but I did figure it out and now understand how the software works. I will experiment a bit more but I am now sure I can get it. Thanks for your understanding! T DUTCH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted July 4, 2009 Good. It helps to make a couple of registration marks that cut in the same location in both colors to help align them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
