Wazzhappenin from TN Do they really call it JOWSEY out there? sry couldnt help it

Hiya from TN mate

Heres you a quick crash course mate ...... .zip is a compression file type...all it means, is that the file that you want, was `zipped` or compressed, making it smaller..so what you have to do when you download it, is UNzip it..which UNcompresses it and makes it the original filesize again. If you downloaded WinZip...just double click the zip file you downloaded that you need to open, and it will open winzip..very simply, click EXTRACT at the top...a box will pop up asking you where you want to extract the files too...`simple way to keep up with it is to just click DESKTOP` and then OK. Then when its done, you will have a new folder on your desktop named whatever the name of the zip file was. Now open that folder and the file that you want should be in there....(just for future reference..other compression file types are .rar .jar .ace. and the new .7z is another one, there are more of course, but thats the most popular.) Now for the EPS file itself..it is in VECTOR format which is the format that your cutter needs to be able to cut it. If you use Sign Blazer Elements, you should be able to just import that EPS file directly into it and be ready to go. You mentioned MSpaint...thats a NO-NO MSpaint uses raster images..which the cutter cant see at all..Examples of VECTOR formats are: .ai .eps .cdr .sbe ......Examples of RASTER formats are: .bmp .jpg .png .gif .tiff (again, there are many many more, but those are the most popular.) AGAIN...RASTER IMAGES CANNOT BE CUT! Here are some programs that work with VECTOR images..Adobe ILLUSTRATOR (commonly called Illy) , CorelDraw, InkScape (Free and popular software here), Then there are the cutting software itself..some of them are: Sign Blazer Elements, FlexiSign, SignCut X2, ArtCut (I think is the name..not sure). ANY of these programs you can start from scratch and build an image ready to be cut, or open an existing file and edit it. Here are some programs that work with RASTER images Adobe PHOTOSHOP (commonly called PS), MSpaint (if you are desperate lol) GIMP is a free one, although I `think` it is for Linux only (not positive on this tho) on this there are really countless ones, just do a google search for image editors. Hope I didnt confuse you anymore than you already were, I tried to shed a little light for ya. The main difference between RASTER and VECTOR....is that VECTOR is resizable and WILL NOT CHANGE QUALITY!! Raster images can be sized DOWN and not lost much quality, but trying to size UP a raster image is almost as bad as pulling teeth If I made it worse..just throw a dull butterknife at somebody other than me

LMAO...I say we get a `sample` printed wrap and a guinea pig store and I`m game for wrappin it!! We could make a big deal about it and see how long it takes the store owner to tell us to take the crap off -
First how small are you wanting the total decal?..and are you wanting a single color decal? You could keep the same basic look...maybe weld the bottom of the A...bottom of the I and the tail with a different font, and just take out the shadow. Then make the tail line like half the width, and use it as a break...and put motorsports under it..leaving the other on top...just my take on it

Bear in mind that I dont mess with PDFs much at all....Im just telln you what I would try. So take it with a grain of salt But, when you get it open in corel..if you want all of it...just select it all and click edit/copy then file/new (will open an blank image) then edit/paste it should paste the contents of the PDF into the new blank CDR file. Of course if you only want parts of the PDF...youll probably have to select it and ungroup it first....then select the parts you want...and use the same method as above with only the parts that you want to use selected. Then save that as an EPS. I use illustrator but those menu items should be the same, they are pretty general. I do not have SBE either, so again, I may not be helping at all lol.

Daewoo!! lol I think I missed Honda too...oops......Daewoo was the mystery mark tho Jason gets 2 cookies

No aries...when you insert text from within a vector program (corel, illustrator, etc.) that text is already in vector format.

Im gonna be a rebel and take all my letters off and spell sumthin else then! lol

Well here ya go....its all one color cuts...and not sorted the same way as the pic...and its missing the `foreign object` lol....but if you want em moved and `overlapped` you will need to merge them before you cut it. Hope this helps ya Happy weeding on that bad boy VWpacman.eps VWpacman.eps
