You rock cutme! I don't know what I was doing before, but it worked like a charm. Cheers man.

hey thanks again for the reply. When I get home I'm going to try it again. If I remember right, I tried to combine just the one dog and the grey that showed up from originally splitting the objects was still there. I'll try again here and report back.

Hey thanks for the reply. I can do this, and if I can't figure out another way, this is what I'll have to do. The reason I'm trying to figure it out the other way is for two color decals. I could split the graphic, take out one color, cut the first color, then reopen the graphic to the same size cut the next color.

Anyone else have any input on this?

Hey I really really appreciate the reply. What I'm trying to do is just unsplit 4 simple silhouette dogs from each other that are in one eps file. Like your saying, when I do that, parts of the enclosed graphic on the silhouettes turns grey giving me another cutting color. So, basically it takes out detail if I just try to cut the black part of the vector. If I split the objects, delete the three I don't need, should I be able to combine the one object, and the grey will be gone?

I can't get this feature to work on some eps files. For example, simple text that I've done, I don't have a problem ungrouping and taking each letter out or whole sentences. But some of my graphics, for example 4 different dog silhouettes, I can't seem to split apart. The unsplitting feature messes up some of the graphics by adding an extra grey color to cut. Ungrouping should work, but it is not on some graphics. Has anybody had this issue or know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks a lot in advance

Hey, thanks for the reply. It's definitely dropping the blade down. It's about five or six inches going from one graphic to the next.

Should I ground the thing more than once?? The only thing I can think of is that I run a humidifier in the same room as the cutter for our DTG machine, but as far as I know it has never made the thing make random cuts. I don't even know that the humidifier could cause that. Hmmmmm

Ok, so I've had my 871 grounded from the machine to the stand since it's been out of the box. Just recently I'm getting blade drags through some of the Oracal 631 I'm cutting. I do pull the roll out to prevent static electricity. I've read that this problem has happened with others. Does anyone have any suggestions. It's not a horrible dragging problem, but it's definitely cutting through parts of graphics where it's not supposed to. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just wanted to update this thread and ask if anyone had any special secrets or tricks to how they install large wall decals? Do you all remove the backing before placing the large decal on the wall? Do you tape the design onto the wall from the top, and then remove the backing? Just wanted to get some input on this? Thanks in advance.

Hey thanks! That one is only 7" by 7" that I did for a test, but we had a customer just order it 2 feet by 2 feet. Thanks man!

Here it is.

Ok, I got 10 squeegees for .73 a piece, the roll of tape for 63.10 and two day shipping at 8.70 for a total of $79.10. Not to mention they sent me two rolls of 15" X2 yds of red hi cal vinyl.

Oh, cool! I'll go look and see how much it is. I got 24" by 100 yd for $63.00 from R & J. Just make sure it's 4076 instead of 4075. I found that most places don't have the 4076 in stock because it's a more specialty tape, so they have to order it. R & J carries it in stock.

I got it from here. http://www.rjsign.com/ I talked to Barry the owner on the phone. He was super nice and helpful. They are based out of MO. I live in Oklahoma and it took 2 days to get to me. They also sent me a bunch of free vinyl to try and all kinds of catalogs. I've only ordered this one thing from them, but I know I'll be ordering my tape from them from now on.
