It’s funny, I made a few for some friends and now I can’t keep up. I went to a sign shop to have the decals made and they said they didn’t have time for it. I already had Corel Draw and bought a cheap GCC cutter (I have since upgraded to a Roland) and started doing all the art work myself. Now people want me to do signs and all kind of stuff. All this in about 8 months’ time. I have a full time job as an Air Traffic Controller plus the wife and kids keep me busy. As they say in the south, FREE TIME,haaaa you would have a better chance putting socks on a rooster.

Mark is a human font Library! Look through the font section further you will see he has a ton of answered fonts and he knows them just from looking at them..... I just did a job for a local car here he number was also 87 his was very very very similar I searched high and low. I finally got ahold of the guy who did the originally and it was a font he did some node editing on it. Of course he wouldn't tell me which one but he did tell me it is a very very common font to start with for race cars and tweak it..... What that is I have yet to find.

It`s custom, best to vector it. mark-s

Stepper motors move at certain spots & that is more noticable up on bigger decals . servo motors like Zen grade & above move gradual & don't have that problem . You may be having another issue , but you will have the stepper motor issue no matter what . I am certain only the decal maker notices the difference , especially in smaller decals .

Rockwell Bold is pretty close..... Use the outline and shadow features in your design program then punch it through unless it is supposed to be white with a red background.... The "S" are a little off but unless you have them side by side it's pretty tough to tell.....

I am just now changing the original blade out of mine, that I bought new over a year ago.... There is no reason, this machine can't function absolutely flawless, with the blade that comes in the holder, out of the box. I won't deny CC blades are great- but it's all about setup and use.

$25.00 and he`s yours. mark-s

Look, this is all you have to do when importing to signblazer. Just make sure that you don't have any .jpeg or raster images in your artwork and then go to File > Save As and after you name your file you have a menu that pops up and you should choose the selection at the top that shows the version of Illustrator. Save it as an Illustrator 3 file and you will never have a problem. I have used many plotters and systems, different programs and setups and I have never had any trouble with an Illustrator 3 file. Try it, I bet that works for you

when you save as your files, click save and another options box will open, save how you want..I use CS2

File + Save As It will give you an option to save as older versions. http://screencast.com/t/H4dbn8SYcd8G Jay

You know I have read enough of your negative, rude, unneeded posts. If you are just going to bash people coming here looking for help or posting things that YOU deem not needed just open up a new notepad document on your desktop fill it with your negative comments and save it there. Maybe some of us aren't good enough to be in the same forums as you and it's sad you have to waste your oh so valuable time coming here to bash others but I am sick and tired of reading your shit. Either post things that are helpful and encouraging or don't post at all.....

Sorry to bump up an older thread but I'm going to agree with vicstransam - I'm awaiting new blades from online but I need to cut some stuff NOW. I was searching through the forum and wanted to find out the solution to problems I was having with my cutting. Turns out I have a bad dull blade - my last one. I went to a local crafts store in the Detroit area (Michael's) and found that they had Cricut accessories, specifically a 2-pack of replacement blades for $9.99 - they fit my original PCut CTN-630 holder just like the original PCut blades, virtually the same length and thickness. I just cut something with it and it works perfectly. Once my new 60 degree Roland blades arrive I'm going to use those and use these Cricut blades as back-ups. In a pinch they work excellent so if there are those looking for blades give these a try! On the back of the package on the bottom left the item number is 290002 "Cricut Tool Replacement Blades" and the UPC code is 093573840029, pictured below. They appear to be made by Provo Craft. Just wanted to provide a solution for folks looking for temp or replacement blades quickly.
