Stlouistech 2 Posted July 31, 2010 Hello, I am new to all of the vinyl printing.. I got my Cutter today..followed the instruction manual on the forum to a T for setup. I printed text with the pen tool in the cutter...Worked like a charm.... Tried printing an EPS file in Signblazer and it printed a square box...or it cut a square box...When I open the EPS file I see it, then I click CUT and don;t see it anymore.. What am I doing wrong..please be gentle as I am new to all of this. Thanks in advance... Hopefully I will be able to help newbies in the future.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome St. Louis, and good luck, I was a newbie once too. Now I can help people occasionally with some knowledge gained from this board and practical experience. What kind of cutter do you have? I know it's hard to break the 'print' habit since you're using a cutter hehe. I use SignCut Productivity Pro but there are a lot of SBE experts around. Good luck with it.

bayotle 26 Posted July 31, 2010 when you hit the cutter button (in sb), it should give you a preview of what section your about to cut, if not, make sure you have the proper layer selected (upper left side), also check the size, it shows at the bottom of the screen the object dimensions What are of St. Louis?

Buggie Pilot 4 Posted August 1, 2010 In your cutter sceen there are 2 boxes (weed all and weed each copy ) If they are checked and there is a value greater than zero then it will cut or draw a box around your design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! Now if I could only figure out why it is pulling up the vinyl when printing smaller text or graphics... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! Now if I could only figure out why it is pulling up the vinyl when printing smaller text or graphics... this may be a limitation of the cutter, can you give an example of what you're trying to cut? (Upload an image or give the height, font and text you're trying to cut).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
