customer contacts me about a decal not sticking after 2 months - so I send her a new one - then she tells me they prepped the area by cleaning it with oxyclean. only reference I can find with google is using it to remove labels and adhesive!

I don't know SignBlazer but, what you are essentially want to do is: 1) Place an object that you want distressed onto a vectored distress pattern 2) Select the two objects 3) 'Punch Out' (in Inkscape it will be Path> Intersection) Here's a primitive diagram ...and the pattern I used (there's a plethora of different types and patterns for a distressed look... I just whipped this one up in Photoshop/Inkscape) DistressedFoil.svg

Inkscape is free and with some tweaking of settings can get pretty good trace results.

smendlik it sounds like what every one told you it is, I had the same issue but didn't worry about unless I saw flames.....which never showed up. the work room I have is 9 by 10, has a window which I cant get to and open. I would like to tell you if you get into doing just more than vinyl tshirts such as sublimation, or Plastisol transfers where your at 385 to 400 degrees the room will get hot and I mean hello summer in the winter and is the sun getting closer kind of hot. I thought the central air would keep it cool enough I was wrong. So I have a pedestal floor fan, and a couple of those clamp on desk fans positioned in the room. It doesn't affect the heat press at all but it keeps me from busting out in sweat and yelling WATER!!!!!

Ok... I grabbed the font, I'll see what I can do with it this afternoon when I get back in.

Hey my name is Angela. I started out with a Sillhouette Cameo, and moved up to an MH 871. I'm hoping my business will grow and allow me to get a more prfessional machine, but for now I'm very happy with my new USCutter. I mainly do animal type decals, setting up booths at dog shows and horse shows. Just about all my designs are drawn by me then made into cuttable images. Here is an example, it is done from a drawing I did using a pic of, my then, 9month old standard poodle. This was his first duck retrieval lesson.

Made this after doing some work on his photo and then putting a flag in the back ground ...

just a heads up - cutmaster 2 works with ce5000 - from graphtec -Cutting Master 3 — Cutting Master 3 (a plug-in software that is included with all CE6000 & FC8600 Series models)

From time to time mine will not read from unpluggin my usb cable and moving my laptop but after a few seconds it sees it. i have copam2500 set in my settings for signblazer for my sc cutter.

Yup... if I were completely comfortable with Illustrator, I would do as Jay mentioned and use the Cutting Master plug in.

I'd use the cutting master plugin. It's free from Graphtec.

And If your going to use the cutter with a different cutting software, like Signblazer, Flexi, etc. the Command must be on HP-GL GP-GL is for Graphtec cutting software. Like Cutting Master.

have you downloaded the drivers from graphtec america for the cutter and installed them? does your cutting software support that cutter or are you using cutting master with corel or illy? not enough info provided

Here's one...http://everythingfonts.com/otf-to-ttf

You can download the Graphtec Studio now and try it out. It is on the Graphtec site. Its Free

I believe it is the weight of the banner material per square yard. It is also an indication of how well the material will hold up. I typically use 13 oz.

In the meantime, here are the existing components if someone else wants to play with it; StrongWheeled_02.svg StrongWheeled_02.eps

...and these aspirin are giving me a Headache!

You may have to use the Signblazer from UScutter support downloads You will have to uninstall the other version first. http://www.uscuttersupport.com/downloads.php

You can convert the font to a true type font. Do a google search for it. I went ahead and converted it for you. http://home.comcast.net/~ricks01/Tekton_ttf.ttf

I am not nor or will be cutting it in the future.... I am from Texas.... we don't like the team here Just wondering if everyone is gearing up. What a story eh?

I dropped it into Vector Magic, saved it as an EPS file, took that into CorelDraw and exported it as a PNG to show how it looks. This is with no tweaking, except for removing the white background, which I did in Vector Magic.
