Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the benefit of the plugin? Is there an advantage over saving and opening with SCALP?

So where is the despeckle feature they've talked about?

Sign Warehouse in Texas. They're higher than USC though, $30 for Oracal 24"X10yd. You can buy one off ebay from them and get a $10 coupon code to use once a month for a year.

You should be able to select the port through the software.

Can anyone do this one? I've tried vectormagic, AI CS6, inkscape and SCALP. The image quality is too low I guess. I don't have the patience or artistics ability to redraw. LOL

I can't get it like I want. All I need are the cross and ribbon. Clouds and sun can be left out.

Customer really wants the one I posted. I'll see what he says about yours though. Thanks!

They just confirm what you want, and what equipment you use. When you fill out the request, write down the number and material you want. They'll ask if you want "JJ801" or whatever you're ordering. I was like, "I have no idea. I'm trying this new and am not familiar with your numbers" LOL

Did you ground the cutter to the frame of the stand?

ebay is your friend.

Here in Arkansas helmets are optional.

I've yet to find the despeckle feature. SCALP3 is a serious work in progress. And I mean SERIOUS.

For my Mom.........it would be free.

Right now I'm not too worried about it, but I'll have a large order of vinyl graphics to do this summer before school starts. I'm just making stencils right now. My problem will be with decals is I'm getting this rough strip where the pinch rollers run. How light can they be set and still work properly? Also, if I leave the machine loaded it'll leave an area the size of the contact patch the lookes almost like heat damage. That's no biggie, just unload the machine when I'm done, but the strip will look bad on decals.

Adobe Illustrator has an excellent distort feature that does this. Not quite what the program I watched in action does, but still awesome. I downloaded the trail version of CS6, it is about to expire, considering the purchase.

Thanks bro. I was afraid of the slippage factor. Figured I'd ask before testing and wasting a portion of vinyl. I knew someone had came across it before. LOL

Or do a file conversion online. Quick google search, and there's several free ones.

What I've noticed is when you remove the top layer it wants to pull the vinyl loose from your substrate (whatever you're applying it to). Sometimes it's bad enough there is a considerable noticeable wrinkle all the way across. Lucky for me I'm primarily dong etched mirrors so it's not even a slight problem.

I'm just getting started, and the decal work is actually a very small part of my hobby. I'm doing the etched glass and mirror. I researched a little as to what I would need, and it APPEARED that SCAL pro would do what I needed. Bot was I wrong. I'm having to ask for help with a few real hard logos, which I knew I would. But even simple projects are above what I can get inkscape and SCALP to do. What program is best when all you have is a screenshot or camera type photo? All I'm doing is single color for a stencil, no shades or colors, but I will need to be able to keep colors broken apart.

Mine wasn't a career move. It's just a hobby. I actually did a few logos myself to get a friend to cut for me, so it seemed fairly simple. Unfortunately the few I did were easy ones that didn't need a lot of clean up. LOL

Or you can copy, then go to edit (I believe it is), and paste to fill. It will also give the option of how far apart.

I use it for breast cancer awareness ribbons. I give them away.

Is the reason the cost is 3X higher because it's a bigger roll and you grommet it yourself?

I'm needing a copy of a sheet music stand clipart. I can't find anything useable to what I need. It needs to be slightly turned to the right. Any help is much appreciated.

This is actually what I'm trying to do. The customer wants it as close as possible. I hand drew the music with SCALP. I'm afraid that when I cut the vinyl I'm gonna have some uneven lines, due to the fact that it's going on a 3 foot wide mirror. I can't get the image to trace with my limited software capabilities. I don't need all the background sheet music, just the stand and scale flowing out of it.
