jmatson 2 Posted August 9, 2010 Ok. my Machine and or SIgncut is making this hard to do. i'm using Brush Script at my Font. And it's peeling up at every letter that joins the next one. It only does it with this font Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 9, 2010 have you tried backing your blade in? As I just showed someone else, take the blade holder out of the carriage, and cut a piece of vinyl. It should not be cutting into the vinyl backing. If it does, blade is out too far. Give it a whirl. See if it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmatson 2 Posted August 9, 2010 nope the blade is hardly sticking through. and it's still peeling off the very thin edges off ea letter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmatson 2 Posted August 9, 2010 i do all my work in Illustrator. Is there a way to have all the words as one smooth cut not cut ea one out. allot of them overlap and that's where the problem is illustrator copy.zip illustrator copy.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mars 45 Posted August 9, 2010 Weld the letters - this will take the overlapping paths and join the letters while deleting the cuts that would have separated the letters. -Mike I don't use illustrator - so googled and found this link - maybe it will make sense to you. http://papyrusjungle.blogspot.com/2009/06/connecting-letters-in-illustrator.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may also want to slow your cut down to see if that helps after you do the weld. The pathfinder tool in Illustrator is what I use to quickly combine a script font.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 11, 2010 back the pressure off and blade back in to where it doesn't cut thur the vinyl, then add that little bit back in! Looks very much like too much blade out - you really can't go by looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
