Doesn't have the correct words, the image is right,

Any one have a combine to share? I don't need one but this post got me looking around to see what I could find. There are some ok pay ones out there but free is always better. ha!

Have you adjusted your offset? Won't completely fix the problem but may help reduce it.
-
Does your shape fill the cutter area? If not, I'd try sliding the pinchers to the area you will be cutting.
-
Some where on page 2 I think.

Mine loves water as in a pond or lake but hates the hose and refuses to go out in the rain.

I have a black lab that doesn't like to play fetch, I thought all labs loved to play fetch. She also rarely plays with any of her toys and the only thin she's ever tried to chew on that she wasn't supose to was a stuffed bear. Got her a giant stuff bunny to chew on and she wouldn't touch it. Sat in her toy box for almost 2 years then one day she started playing with it and had it tore up after about 2 weeks.

Double checking your design in wireframe mode is a good way to catch things like this before you cut and waste vinyl.

Has the blade gone dull? Is it sticking out far enough?

EPS is a pretty standard vector file and most cutting software should be able to open it. There are different version of EPS files though and older software may not be able to open the newer EPS files. There are tons of programs out there that can open EPS files and save off as something else, or as an older format. Just do a google search and you should find plenty of free programs that will help you out.
-
What file format are they? Most likely there is a converter program out there that can convert them to something SCALP can open.

That effect is more of a 3D effect than a shadow. I'd look into 3D effects with your software to see if you can get the look you want.
-
I can't see the images right now, but I'm guessing that the font did not come out the way you wanted? When the EPS file was created, there should be an option to convert text to paths, do that and then things should come out the way you want. The other option, you would need to install the desired font on your computer you are using to do the cutting.

Where do any of you get supplies such as squeegees from? I was looking for some Lidco Nylon squeegees as suggested by another post on here. I found some for $2 but shipping on them is like $12. I hate paying so much for shipping for something that is so cheap. I'd love to find a local place that sells supplies but when doing a google search for sign supplies I'm not having any luck finding anything useful. I'm in Fort Worth, TX, I know there are some places over in Dallas but that's a pretty good drive and would cost more in gas than the $12 shipping.

Other than keeping the rolls seperate from each other, I don't really see how that rack setup is any better/worse than laying the rolls on a shelf. It does look nice though.
-
Wow, that's a pretty narrow temperature range, I don't even keep my house that cool.
-
You can also do a select all, copy and paste from Inkscape into SignBlazer and skip the EPS stage.
-
When saving as and EPS file, do you have the option to use any of the older EPS formats? If so, try that, SB doesn't work with the newer formats of EPS.
-
Some people say stickers, some decals others vinyl maybe it depends what part of the country you live in ha ha.Stickers are what kids put on their toys. Decals are what guys put on their toys.

Someone posted awhile back about putting vinyl on the inside of windows and that it was not advised, something about the UV protective coating on the vinyl is not on the sticky side so you'll get fade much faster. Might not be an issue with black, but something to think about.

The art work is reasonably simple and shouldn't be too hard to manually trace. First step would be to take as straight on of a photo as possible in as high of resolution as possible. Then import into your vector program of choice, I use Inkscape. I then use the Bezier tool and draw a ruff outline of the shape in question over the top of the photo zooming in and out to get the nodes place as precicely on the photo as possible. Once the shape if completed I make it semi transparent and adjust the straight lines to make them curve and match the image. In Inkscape it's simply a matter of clicking the line and dragging it to where I want. If the curve doesn't match up exactly I add another node somewhere on the line and just adjust things till I get it the way I want. It's not a very complicated process, you just have to take your time and most of all have fun with it.

If you have a bad USB cable, no adapter is going to fix that, just get a new USB cable.
-
ha! I type too slow apparently. lol
-
Have you tried downloading a new driver for the adapter? Windows7 made some changes to USB stuff and a lot of older devices no longer work and newer devices need a new driver.

Why not just ask him to send you the file again in a format you can use?
