Haha she don't call me I won't call her. she see my fb post so she is reminded of what I do. she made me mad when she said the other guy will do it for her with no deposit. so that right there cut her off. the funny thing is she know she can deposit it in my account like she did last time thru her bofa app. this why I believe she used the money for something else and is waiting for the kids parents to pay her. she has all the money cause she tole me she was go deposit half the the other half when I finish. that would of been 2 days top. now I dont want to do it.

Google makes most of it's money off advertising... over 37 billion a year. 'Our' images they present are part of the total package that attracts folks to their site. It's true that "Ad Words" (I think it's called) contributes most of their actual revenue but, the search engine for sites and images is the largest contributor to their reputation & renown. I am not able to determine the percentage that those images contribute but, they do, without a doubt, contribute to it's popularity. I would speculate that the vast majority of the images on Google are being used without the owners permission. Anyone else that wants or tries to use anothers property for their own gain is subject to fees or penalities. Regardless of the public's ignorance of copyright law, they are likely the largest enabler of those violations.

Finding the font is the best way to go but when all else fails...TRACE! I hand trace in CorelDraw the same way as WG if I need a vector quick. The auto trace vector programs are frequently not good enough and need lots of node editing. BUT, many times paying an expert to create the vector file is the fastest and therefore least expensive route.... unless you have time to burn and need the practice. Sue2

Here's a manual trace, was bored and have some free time. SCS.eps

First off, what is your reason to want a 53" cutter?...It is overkill. It also has very limited memory and max cutting length 8ft. I have been cutting for years and have never needed over 30" Most anything can be tiled, from a 24" or 30" cutter. Secondly, It is not a printer, It is a vinyl cutter. and it is not Mac compatible. Also not Windows 10 compatible. And our advice on this forum is to step up to at least the SC...or a Laserpointer11 or higher if you can afford it. And like Wildgoose said, different options, different prices. Some shipping FREE some higher.

Well, I thought I had my glitches solved, and of course I don't. I'm placing my artwork inside a square box (5"x5") so that I can better line up my projects, plus aid in weeding. I did a grid pattern of 4x2 evenly spaced boxes. The top row of boxes cut staggered, but only on the left two boxes. My artwork did cut correctly though. I guess I'll be looking into the keyspan adapter AND a null modem cable. Mz SKEETER, thank you for taking the time to explain that there IS a difference between a null modem cable, and a regular serial cable. Thank you as well for your assistance. I appreciate it very much. Yak

Wow the press took quite a price jump, $1900 I think I'll go for a name brand now

I wouldnt cut for a long period of time with that machine. even though its cutting when it breaks it will cost you. yes it work now but when that 90 day warrenty is up your screwed. but even with it they wont cover it cause you cut something they said it cant cut. if you wanting to cut reflector,stick flock, or and thick material I would advise you to step up with a better cutter.

Cool find Thanks, works perfect!!

I've cut reflective with mine with no issues. Just raised the pressure a little, and adjusted the amount of blade sticking out.

I've used this for a good while now. Here is another that is useful as it can handle AI, PS, EPS, PDF: http://www.cherubicsoft.com/en/projects/sagethumbs. Ghostscript is required. The PDF support doesn't seem to work all that well however. I have found if you use Adobe Reader, go to File>Open and allow it to build the thumbnails, they "stick" in explorer view. Then just cancel and close without actually opening. One could always use a thumbnail viewer with svg support, like Xnview or XnviewMP, http://www.xnview.com/en/, which also need Ghostscript. My favorite thumbnail viewer is ST Thumbnails Explorer. It is getting a little long in the tooth, but still works great. It handles most every vector I can throw at it, included CorelDraw formats, (needs Draw to be installed.) It is commercial and for Windows only. It also uses Ghostscript.

You might want to keep the bed of the truck cleaner so your customers see a more professional operation. Also, some display boards of what you can do would get you more sales.

Metallic vinyl would be fine, as for reflective vinyl, keep in mind that there are different grades of reflective vinyl, some of it is really thick and does require a lot of force/pressure to cut...

It may work now, but for how long? Keep in mind the MH does not have the gram force (350) as a cutter, that is recommended for the job, so you are putting more strain on the MH cutter, than say a Graphtec FC8600, which would have no problem at (600) All vinyl cutters will have their limitations, and each one is slightly different. UScutter is not going to advertise it will, when it may not work for the next person...Because it is not guaranteed to work with reflective. You may also have to do a couple passes,when cutting reflective. Those vinyls are quite expensive to mess up on a value cutter. Limited memory and static problems...

You just don't get it, do you. The sharing of copyrighted material is not allowed here, nor are the staff going to allow you to use this forum as a means to acquire them. In this day and age, if you are not able to acquire ANY image you need either through google or recreating it yourself, then maybe you are in the wrong profession.

Every blade is ground slightly differently especially with the cheaper blades which will sometimes be enough difference that you'll nee to adjust the offset for the new blade.

I know this is a post. I am wondering how the break up in the formula in this calc. is made up? I am trying to find the best way to price my work. as of now I am only doing it based off size H+w/2 way. I know I could be doing better. I like this calc and was wondering how I can tweek it to add a little more function for my use.

Sounds like you are gong to get blamed, for the wedding party, not having any shirts. That they've already paid for.
