Wow....thanx for the thumbs up guys. So much great support! gm2k8-I still have my FROG and it still runs! BTW, i have over 100 tutorials on my site. You can pretty much learn it all there.

Congrats on your win Wild! You did a great job!

hey Margaret...can you post the colored version you did..i wanna see how it came out.

I really need to get some sleep.

Thanx Wild. Yes, the cars are painted from the inside so you have to think in terms of painting backwards. Cutting the design out of vinyl has made painting a lot easier. They usually come clear like this and end up what u see now.

Welcome~

Welcome!!

Ok..so i DL the trial version to run out of AI with my Roland. As i import my artwork to X2, i see there are way more features than Cutstudio. So thumb's Up on that. My question is, how do i know the location of my graphic according to the cutter/vinyl and how do i moe it to a specific spot on the vinyl? To further clarify, say my graphic is 5"x5" and i wanted to move it to the very right(at 10" section" of the vinyl sheet. My sheet is 15"x20". How would i do this? TIA, Charlie

LOL...i figured it out after looking at the machine that my Roland didn't have the Nav tools on it. venice..i did that too. I was just basically comparing Cutstudio software compared to X2. I keep forgetting you can navigate most "real" cutters on the machine itself compared to my Roland that doesn't have that feature. Thanx for the answers guys.

Thanx Wild...your work is pretty awesome as well!

Anyway, i started a US Cutter section on my forum for the members who have purchaed a US cutter and have some Q's. Generally, i would direct them here, but you know how it is when people are just comfortable being where they are. So anyway, here is the link. http://www.cfxpaintworks.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=26210#26210 My forum is basically just like this one...just information on how to Airbrush. Mostly RC cars, but everything is still relative to real world painting. I hope i am not stepping on anyone's toes, and i will gladly delete the thread if asked with no questions. I just basically am asking some of the US Cutter gurus to help out once in a while with some questions some of the members might have. Anyway, thanks in advanced everyone. Charlie

Im only joking...hence the smiley face in the end. I thought it was funny...i guess i was the only one.

Thank you Jen...Im glad to be part of this great community..everyone ROCKS!

The vinyl version is much simplified with no bevels or outer glows on the lettering. It was only a concept anyway. If Dawg picks it, i will clean it up. No sense in doing more work if he doesn't pick it.

CHARLIE B, DAMN u know ur a bad man! that's so awesome, omg! R U MARRIED? J/K BUT DAMN! LOL...you can be my Virtual wife!! Btw...i ain't done with yours yet Sheila...

This is still rough...didnt really get a chance to clean it up..but it is also in eps form ready to cut. Had to draw the dawg...i didn't liek what i saw on google.

Bruce...i do not think it is appropriate showing nipples on this forum.

I wish there was something out there that was free..unfortunately i seen one that was about $400. I can not recall the name of the CD. I manually measure the cars i design/wrap.

Love Mike's and Craigs forum. Craig is a cool cat. We are currently working on a book for RC Cars along with some other pros for Ab Action Mag...Dave from Coast is just taking forever trying to get it going....

Ur more than welcome to...we have a good group of kids like we do here.

Now this is sounding more and more of a great venture. I want my press to arrive already! Thanx for the info bro~!

i paid the insurance...although at this time, i wish it were already here. :-

for sure..i should make the trek.

ehhhhehe ehhhehe (in Beavis Voice) he said Big Nuts.

Would that not affect the part that is already pressed? I would worry that i might overheat the first part that was pressed? Then again..i haven't done it yet..im just speaking from my imagination.
