Kingshelz 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Peace I just bought a vinylexpress r series from my uncle. I am trying to cut pictures I put on the screen but it's saying "no cuttable object with current setting" can someone help I am extremely new and the manual is that helpful when you don't know what you are looking at. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signyouup 178 Posted June 10, 2016 You need to trace the image first to convert it to a cuttable vector file. Vector files are outlines of shapes and your cutter will trace these outlines with the blade. Pictures are made up of a bunch of different colored dots(pixels) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 11, 2016 Best thing you could do would be to have your uncle spend a couple hours showing you how to build cut files (or where to find them) and run the machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
