offset Question????

Recommended Posts

i am using adobe illistrator Cs3 and i am trying to contour cut some text that are solid color print and i want a contour cut line offset so it has a quarter inch white ouline, i followed a youtube video but the problem i am having is when i offset the the cut line it creates a second cut line and the offset line goes compleatly around every letter. and i just want it to go around the print not around every letter? and also how do i get rid of the inner cut line, and just keep the offset cut line so it only cuts the offset line? any help is appreciated.

Did you get it figured out yet? In case you haven't...

Print your work, with your reg marks in place. I'm assuming you have a contour cut capable (laser) cutter. Then save your img as a copy and create that larger square you want that will include your 1/4" offset of white. Delete everything else.

Open the 'new' image that is just the outline / square in your cutting software.

Contour cut the new image you created. Easy.
