iamandy 20 Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks! It was a challenge to weed. I wanted something that would help me learn different skills with weeding. I think I've got the hang of it now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooler82 182 Posted April 21, 2014 I haven't figured out a great way yet. I usually cut a square around some of it with my exacto knife and pull that part out then go to the next place. Sometimes slow and easy, and sometimes jerking on it lol. I'll get it one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted April 21, 2014 Very impressive! I think my first cut was a square and then a circle for my second since I wanted to challenge myself a little more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signblazer has a function called easy weed in the setup area in the cutter control area. I also sometimes cut areas that will be a pain into smaller pulls.

tooler82 182 Posted April 21, 2014 I use Flexisign-Pro with the Mimaki CJV30-130. It's what the government bought. Unfortunately I'm on a government computer so if you need to install something, ha, good luck. It will take months to get an admin off his butt in another building to come over and authorize it to be installed. I'm very limited here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't used that program but I hear it's like the tip of the top. It should have some weeding options if you are having problems with weeding but that may not be what you were saying.

iamandy 20 Posted April 22, 2014 Just curious about how long it took to weed that. It took me about an hour total in 2 1/2 hour shifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted April 22, 2014 Before you know it you'll be getting faster and faster at weeding. But that is still a lot of weeding there. Nice Job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
