Here is one of the bulldog images you posted vectorized and ready to cut... bulldog-toon.EPS

Found one online that was kind of close. I then modifed it to try and match your photo. Not perfect, but not bad considering the small size of the image I was trying to match. Ampersand.eps

I have flexi starter 10, sure cuts a lot 3, sure cuts a lot pro(ha ha ) and sign blazer and i usaly go to sign blazer for most every thing there are files i cant open but not many. I just prefer it even tho it is dated. If someone would buy the rights to signblazer and develop it a little more it would be as good as any sign software in my opinion.

When a phone really was a phone. My first cell phone had a trabsceiver that mounted in the back of my van and wires ran up to my reciver it also had a horn relay to let me know it was ringing. Those phones had a full 3 watts of power where the new hand helds are 1/2 watt.

Wow, thanks mb20. I wasn't expect anyone to do that. But I am truly grateful. I haven't been on the forums one day and I already see, there are those that will go out of their way to help someone in need. I thank you all for all of your replies, and help.

1: no they don't have to be 1 color. The reason you see so many 1 color design is to simplify the design to be cut in 1 color instead of multiple colors. 2: The software will have an option of what color to send to cutter. The cutter doesn't "see" color it only receives the information to make a line kind of like connect the dots (nodes are the dots) 3: Unlike pictures (raster) design made for cutting (vectors) are infinitely adjustable for size after completion without affecting the quality of the design.

I have a wedding planner that does logos for on the dance floor when they do bridal show and we cover in clear so it doesn't get tore up with foot traffic.

Thanks Jay, So is it similar to a cold lamination then ? I have the hot lamination but it’s not for every application. The clear looks interesting, I think the next time I place an order I am going to pick up a roll.

I've used transparent Avery and Oraral to laminate a few things with and once applied it it clear. No adhesive can be seen.

ahh yes - when the batteries would work for a week before recharging, the good old days

I don't know, too much about this side of the business, but I charge per square inch so a 3"X 4" would be priced the same as a 1" X 12": and for larger items ($30,$40...etc) items I offer the 1/2 deal because larger items tend to weed better. With this formula I can scale in any direction, but I do charge a different rate per inch depending on the customer, but I never go below $.30 to as much as $.55.

Possibly but sometimes they just don't like to stick wet no matter what you do. The only surefire solution I know of is patience. Peel a little let it dry, peel some more.

Used that font before as well. A pain to weed but love the way it comes out. Love the truck, great work.

only with the budget cutters - it is like night and day when you go graphtec or roland - now many of us started witht he value cutters to make the money for the more expensive ones but it is sooooo nice to just go hit cut when you want a job and have it weed easily every time. when I had the pcut or mh it was a crap shoot on if it would even fire up first try when i hadn't used it for a week. - not everyone has that problem but I did and now I can go a 2 weeks without cutting - go to the cutter and get great results every time

Since it seems to be software related have you tried downloading Signblazer and test cut with that. And I wouldn't keep tearing up vinyl just go to a home improvement store and get a roll of paper from the paint dept. and use the pen tool that came with your cutter.

I'm attempting to get OW Jones to post pix here of those varsity cheerleaders and you're worried about 631? Well, it's YOUR thread, so I'll sit here patiently.

Today was our local Oktoberfest parade and I got to be the lucky one to tow the Zombie Fest float around town (hey, someone has to haul a trailer full of varsity cheerleaders, it might as well be me, right?) and so I decorated my vehicle appropriately. I put this on both sides of the bed in white reflective using a font called Bedbug... And this design on both doors. To make it more difficult for myself, the entire 13.5" x 20.5" design was cut from rolls of white reflective only 3.5" wide (why, because I'm a cheapskate, that's why!). I then ran a piece of white paper through my plotter with a Sharpie installed and drew out the full design on paper to use as a template for laying out the strips, then tape the snot out of it and voila. It's not as level as it should have been, but I ran out of time and got in a big hurry. I heard a lot of people in the crowd reading aloud the "Zombie Disposal" text as I drove around, and several people have been posting pictures of it on Facebook, so it obviously got attention. As we were lining up before the parade, a man approached my truck and asked where I got the decal, because he wants something similar for a "Large green '77 Chevy truck" he owns, so I gave him my card and will hopefully hear from him soon. I made two similar 96" x 24" banners to put on the float itself, but didn't take a picture, so this the proof image I presented to the committee. One of the two banners went to the local shopping mall that is letting us use an empty store as an advertising spot and the other one I'll take to Skate Fest on Tuesday (had to be rescheduled because of rain) and then to Pizza Ranch for Tip Night on Wednesday, so I'm getting my money's worth out of them... I had planned to donate cash to the fest as a sponsor, but I think I'm going to donate the cost of the banners and the 150 (so far!) t-shirt transfers I've printed, cut and heat pressed, rather than ask them to pay me back.

I have 2, MH 721 28' inch cutters 2, Clam Shell Heat Press 1, Swing away heat press for my dye sub 1, Dye sub printer RICOH 3120 DN 1, 24 inch printer for posters and such a 24x36 light table that kicks some butt .. and my screen printing.. with about 20 screens total.. and alot of ink.. I have 35+ Different Colors Rolls of " Oracal 651"24 inch vinyl I have 10 Color's of 631 and about 15 color's for Heat Transfer vinyl
