okay ... but we want pics you know!

Can you get a better image or point us in the right direction for the logo?

Get me some learnin' everyday!

I hope that your neighbor is pro-active with demo and rebuild. The house behind my brother's house caught on fire. The heat alone shattered his bedroom windows. He was standing at the back of the house hosing down his roof and hosing down the in-law's (they live right next door). The house went up in smoke months ago ... it was a rental, and the owner doesn't seem to care whether or not it's providing revenue or not. My bro said that it smell like a wet soggy bar-b-que all the time. ICK!

still working great for me

It completes most of the cut properly. It's just a few letters and some cuts that don't completely close it. Not a big deal, I just need to be a little more patient when I'm weeding.

karma (or Murphy's law) is ... the house catching on fire, but the cutter be the only thing left standing without any damage.

hand-vectorize??? That's bucking the system and going backwards JC - do you use mouse, trackball, tablet, or scribe? I think if I had to hand-vector anything, I would use tracing paper, and scan at an insanely high resolution, then run it through Inkscape ... because VM is not longer free :'(

that's gonna come out with some really, really skinny lines

When you import it into SB, which option are you selecting on the pop-up screen? I don't remember what it is off hand, but I know that you're supposed to select the top one. (See how observant I am ) Hmm.. what happens when you resize and attempt to send to cut? Does it time out (stall), lock-up, or tell you that there's a communication error? So many variables, but I promise you that when you finally get it setup, it's all gravy from there! Is the settings in the cut screen correct - size wise? I noticed that I can keep different info in the workspace setting vs. the cutter setting. I'm a/r, so I always change both when I change media size. Keep on posting until we get it right for you!

to the forum! If I'm not mistaken, there is no baud rate mode on the LP because it's fixed at 4800 (don't quote me on that). As John said, there are so many places for the information not to flow properly. It took a couple of uninstall/reinstalls before everything checked out. I also needed to get the latest updates from the SignBlazer forum. When you get to the cut screen, make sure that you have the right cutter selected: I selected the Creation Pcut (since LP wasn't an option), and after realizing that the port kept on changing on me (in SBE) I finally have everything all setup and haven't had a problem since. Post whatever info you can, the more info, the faster we can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Your .eps was not a vectorized image. Here's what I got ... StopTech.eps StopTech.eps

what exactly is happening? are you sending it to cut, but nothing happens? are you getting an error message, if so, what does it say? are you using the USB or the serial port? which cutter do you have selected in the cutter setup window? i think the cutter to choose is the creation pcut (since there is no LP listed).

to the forums! I you use the search function, you'll find all kinds of stuff. I was lost with vectoring and relied way to heavily on Vector Magic, but since they went 'commercial' I just couldn't justify the fees they're asking for. I highly recommend Inkscape. It's free, and there is a bulletin board on this forum dedicated specifically to it. The members here are willing to assist with vectoring, but highly encourage figuring it out. There are a few members here that abuse the generosity and patience of this forum. But we are always willing to teach someone to fish, rather than providing the fish for them. ScionDragon even posted a link to his YouTube clip on how to vecotrize with Inkscape. Good luck, and don't be afraid to ask lots of questions

ditto.

okay, honestly ... I'm just totally confused.

Are you selling the entire site or just the domain?

Sorry, I'm a little confused .... What is the end result you're looking for? two-colors or a single color, but SBE sees it as two colors? If it's the latter, then it's just as Ken said, when you get to the cut screen, just hold down the CTRL key and select the other block that has the red "x" to it so that both will be cut during the same cutting job. If it's the former, two-color original and the end result you're looking for is a two-color product, but SBE is showing it as a single color, then select the items that you want to recolor, then pick a color at the bottom of the screen. SBE will view it something similar to layers, where you can decided which layers to cut singularly or combined. If you post picks, we might be able to help you. Good luck.

Aloha e Billy - I'm a newbie here, but have lurked around for while and I've seen your name come up in more than a threads. I know that you don't know me, or have probably even read any of the threads and posts that I have done (not that any of them were note worthy), but after reading your update, I just wanted wish you and your family well. It sounds like 2008 isn't starting off as great as it could be, but please keep the faith. It seems from your post that you probably have a lot more courage than you probably realize yourself. Know that many of the member here, even the newbies like me are keeping you in our thoughts. -j.

Yah ... that's like saying ... I have a something to tell you, then you don't insert rant here Do tell ... inquiring minds want to know ...

I don't think anyone here really addressed whether or not the OP requires software to assist with designing a site, or if they already have some software that they use or are planning to use (i.e. Microsoft FrontPage, etc.). If assistance it needed with software to help design, then I would suggest finding a host that will have that service available. Different website hosting companies offer different software. It won't matter how cheap it is if you don't like using the software. Try not to be in too much of a rush to get it done. Take the time to look for something that suits your needs. If you plan on eventually make it e commerce, then take that into consideration what shopping cart you're going to want to use, and what platform it needs to be supported on (Windows or Linux).

I considered and am still considering getting a third roller for my little LP24. I was cutting a decent run of Oracal 651 and managed to keep it from drift too badly (I was so proud of myself ), then I brought back to reality when I the vinyl started to tent/pucker. Fortunately it was near the end of the cut so I was able to try and freehand what the blade had either missed or slashed. I'm hoping that the pinch rollers will be listed on eBay (hint, hint) like the blades are

to the forum! Initially I would think that you need to get the specifics about what you're trying to work with: dimensions and cut-out shapes, sizes and locations. Are you trying to do something specific? If you provide a little more detail I'm sure the members here will do what we can to help you!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hmmm... ezBayHawaii.com??? hahahaha.
