Which software do I buy?

[Which software do I buy?]

Hi I'm going to buy a Liyu TC631 and dont have any software at the moment.

I want to be able to manipulate images jpegs etc and vectorize them and make them into stencils and also make stickers and signs etc in vinyl.

At present I only have photoshop.

I had a play with vectormagic which was great but a bit out of my price range at the moment.

So which is the best /easiest software to get/buy ?

I would like to get one from the offset that I'll love...thanks

Sorry could you explain a little more? I put some jpegs into the site and downloaded the vectors and opened them up in signcut pro and they looked good? What can go wrong? Thanks

[MH or SC or TC cutter?]

It seems the TC series have ARMS contour cut which the SC series doesn't?

Anybody willing to explain what it is?

[MH or SC or TC cutter?]

Ok thanks sc or what benefits would I get buying a TC ?

[MH or SC or TC cutter?]

Hi the sc and tc are both liyu models in the uk

Hi new to all this I was having a play around on grabbing random images from the internet and seeing what this did to them

It worked great on the ones i tried, do people rate it as a free conversion site?

[low tack vinyl for stencils? in the UK]

Anybody know where i can buy some low tack vinyl to make one use stencils from in the UK either 12 or 24 inch ? thanks

[MH or SC or TC cutter?]

Hi thanks and what about the TC model ?

[MH or SC or TC cutter?]

Looking to buy a vinyl cutter plotter and was originally going to buy a (Pixmax) MH 28 inch cutter in the UK for around £240 with signcut software.

Read a lot about them and people said the Liyu were better machines?

So i started looking at the SC631 model with optical eye for around £279 in UK

Then someone said the Liyu TC631 is better which is £400 in the UK with signcut.

So which one would you honestly buy?

 

Initially i would be cutting vinyl stencils and letters etc but who knows? So better to get features that i wish id got before?

What do I get for my money from a MH to a SC ?

 

Thanks

[Putting some padding around a design?]

Hi im still playing around with Signcut pro...

I have a design opened in Signcut pro and because i want to make single use stencils i would like a bit of a free space around each one.

At the moment it has put each one right up to the edge to save on vinyl consumption how do i manually move each one or at least put a border around each one so when i weed negativity i will have some vinyl around each one ?

 

thanks

[My first post! Is this possiable?]

many thanks, i was looking at some low tack vinyl which i believe is made especially for stencils?

[My first post! Is this possiable?]

Im playing with the idea of buying a vinyl cutter and the one im looking at comes with Signcut pro.

Ive had a little play with the software and wondering if this vinyl cutting is a solution to my dilemma ?

At present I paint my own art work and would love to cut a stencil out of vinyl and then stick it on my art work, spray and its done!

I want to be able to somehow? take a graphic of the internet and make stencils for each colour and then spray each one with the aid of a vinyl cut stencil, so its multi layered?

How do i separate each colour from the graphics into separate stencils?

I have Signcut pro, signdraw and photoshop? Thanks
