harleytuner 37 Posted March 15, 2016 I'm at my whits end lol. I'm trying to import my buddies logo into SB, when I do I get the progress bar but when it's done nothing shows up. I've had this issue before, not sure if it's to big for the memory on my computer or what. Any help would be appreciated. I just want to be able to cut a simple 2 color decal for them.

mb20music 760 Posted March 15, 2016 I just want to be able to cut a simple 2 color decal for them. What two colors do you want it? black and white? what about the red tachometer needle and red outline of "POWERHOUSE"? Do you want to do the black, white and red then?

pshawny 410 Posted March 15, 2016 SignBlazer is an older program and requires you to save files in an older file format in order to import them. Illustrator 8 works good, or even copy and paste most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you want to do the black, white and red then? It's going on the shop window, I haven't seen it yet but I was thinking white and red. Would 3 colors be better?

I own a motorcycle shop, I only cut decals for myself and every once in awhile for a friend. So I'm not looking to spend much for software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 16, 2016 AFAIK, you can get Vinyl Master CUT for a reasonable amount of money, and it handles .eps very well. It also will do terrific vectors from artwork. It supports all the major types of cutters sold by USCUTTER today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted March 16, 2016 Inkscape is pretty good and free design program. I do most my work in it then copy and paste into SB to do the cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I opened the file to look at it, the logo had a purple letter "P" and the tachometer shows purple also, and also the letter "O" was blue, is this how it is supposed to look? Just curious...

Just curious... No, not sure why it's like that. I'm going to cut the letters all white and red. It should show up fine on the tinted windows of his shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
