the holder? because the blade seems fine, the force i use is 25g

hehe i just noticed the complete image had more reflection on the hair, when i wield the entire image seems like they disappeared =\ here is the EPS file in zip, its the one i used Asuka.zip

i used corel x5 since i know more about corel than inkscape, i did the HQ quality one since the other options didnt give me the image i wanted. when i was peeling off the vinyl, in the corners the vinyl was stuck with the one that should stay and i was using something pointy to separate them and sometimes my fingers (no force was needed), maybe i need to push a little more the blade? have been cutting greenstar vinyl, this one is orcal 651 and didnt change the blade. also when it was cutting, i saw the holder vibrate while cutting, thats very weird but the lines were fine in most parts, i noticed a part where it was a little weavy but its fine

if you were to get vinyl in a textured wall, how would you do it? or you wouldnt do it? with textured wall i mean walls that has like grain on them and arent smooth.

hahaha yeah, i have a cheap cutter and its a pain to weed small cuts since it doesnt cut perfectly and there are corners that arent cut and when i peel it, it leaves a dot, but so far, i am doing ok for the sizes i have done, i want a graphtec cutter

hahaha i see, well still if you make it, you could sell it for some $$$ and just add a word SPECIAL to the price and ppl will buy it

just wow, did u make that snake from scratch? or u got a jpg and vectorized it from there? thats a very nice image, i dont think i could do something like that lol and to weed it D= or even let my cutter do those small cuts >.<

actually i was thinking it would be in a window or clear door, since its a phone number but could be in a truck or something like that too hehehe

i woudl try to cut it but i dont know if my cutter will be able to do those small cuts lol Mexican flag uses an eagle too so if u draw or get a snake below it, i think many mexicans will buy it

i use my room's light and i can see the reflection of the light on the cuts, so its nor hard for me atm

the white gap wont be seen when watching from distance (depends on how far away) and how big the numbers are, but the above one gives you a more bold numbers and would look better close giving it a better shadow.

hope new week have a good start, how about you?

i see, you havent received any complain about them being bend or the decal sticking to the cardboard? around how much do you spend on shipping?

i am in middle of that too, i was thinking in naming it InSight graphic or something like that

my SC cutter has a red plastic line with a deep line where i think u cut from there the vinyl, just take our a little the blade of the cutter (not plotter one) and slice it in the machine

i made the EPS from a jpg, deleted some parts and background, then made it vector with the quick trace with inkscape, but when the cutter is cutting, it looks like its cutting in waves, but the cutings are fine in some parts, in others looks a little wavy when you look at them very close, is it because the vector is imperfect?

i was cutting a skull for a friend and in one side it cut through the wax paper while in the other side it didnt, this has happened to other files too. right now i have speed of 400 and force of 90g, blade cuts only the vinyl when i tried to cut with my hand, at first this didnt happen, but now its happening more frequently. i have it connected with the Serial port to Serial port since yesterday, days before was from USB to USB and i dont remember if it did that with the usb connection. picture taken from the back since the front is white and will be very hard to take a picture of it

ok, i added oil to the holder and blade, i pulled off more the blade and set speed to 200 and pressure to 25g and changed driver from LiYu to copam and made some cuts, seems like its cutting good now. thanks for the help guys, i will post again if something comes up

but as i said, i did cut it manually and applied force too (way more than 100g) and wasnt cutting the paper, i will pull the blade a little more and try again then, gonna remove all possibilities

oohh, well it does look normal, its not sticking out and its firmly in the machine, there is a little plastic that comes out because the first time i tried to cut it was cutting it, thats how i damaged my first blade, but it shouldnt lift the vinyl. when i was cutting a homer simpson that i took the eps somewhere here, it was around 4" and was cutting all the vinyl with the wax paper out. this happened to me once but when i moved the image, there was an outline in the image and i think the cutter cut it twice in the same place, thats why it cut the paper, but i checked it and made this vector myself (skull one) and there was no outline or anything =\

i know they are different, but i did the test cutting ti manually and applying force myself to see how much it cut, someone told me to use 100g and around 400 speed. and there was no vinyl in the cutter head yes, there is a very little blade sticking out and i dont have a new blade, the first time i got it, i tried it and the head was offtrack and i didnt know, and it was cutting in the plastic of the cutter and damaged that blade, i changed it for this one and this doesnt seem damaged, the new blades will arrive today, i still have the 60 grade one tho. cutting strip? sorry i didnt get this one, my main isnt english and i learned playing games so.... xD and if u mean the vinyl not sticking to the blade, its not sticking (sometimes it does tho, when they are small pieces)

i cut 4 from the library of the signblazer, if i take a closer look, by the lines they seem a little weavy too like if i were watching the autobots logo too, i tried 2 times with one EPS that someone posted here, both times it cut thru the wax and sometimes peel off the vinyl (i even used W40 as someone suggested) but with i think because they were kinda small? =\ ............ never mind, just removed some parts from the vinyl and they were small too and didnt peel off =\ they dont look weavy after removing the vinyl from them, but when i was looking at the lines before removing the vinyl, i could see a little weavy and as music said, the part around the eyes of autobots looks weavy in the cut, but most of the rest looks normal

i installed a COM pci card in my pc (friend had a spare one) and i connected it to my cutter SC 34", i tried my first cut and it came with some weavy cuts and i just vectorized it in corel draw so it should have straight lines, i thought first it was because of the USB to USB connection as many had mentioned, but this time its Serial to Serial so it should work right? attached is the decal i cut (2.5") the lines i mentions are the ones around the eyes and its not caused by the carbon fiber

mmm.... how did that happen? i was using the pen tool to do the lines "straight" in corel =\ i will try with some from the library, thanks.

i uploaded it already in the share your eps section and i did already what you mentioned, i have cut a many decals already and it barely makes a line in the wax paper, i took it out too from the machine and cut a vinyl manual to check if it was cutting right because the first time i did the cut, it was cutting the entire vinyl (wax included) but moved the image and it had black lines on the image, so i just deleted them and then it cut once and normal, but still cut weavy =\ Autobots logo.zip
