    I wish I could cut it like that, but "Sky" is like 22" tall and I only have a 24" cutter so I couldn't cut the "the" underneath on the same cut. I was planning on cutting them like "Sky," "High," "Sports," and then "The," Trampoline," "Place." My sister is delivering the Static Guard. I'll try that first and if all else fails, I'll cut each word separately what a pain in the butt!!!

    Thank you for all of your cutting wisdom!

    Yes, I understand that. Say I'm cutting "The Trampoline Place." I select "the" and cut. Now what? When I select "trampoline", I want that to cut next to "the" on the same sheet of vinyl. I can't origin it, right? It would cut over "the" I have no idea how far apart "the" and "trampoline" are suppose to be. Where do I cut "trampoline" at? I guess I should say, how do I cut the next word and so on. I want it to all look level like it was one cut, even though I am breaking it up!

    Does anyone know if there is an easy way to break this huge thing (I'm trying to cut a 21' and a 27.5' vinyl piece attached) into pieces. I was planning on cutting "SKY HIGH JUMP", the line plus "THE TRAMPOLINE PLACE" and I already got the web address to cut before everything crapped out on me. Is there a way to cut "The Trampoline Place" in sections? I know I can select "The" and cut it, but is there a way to then select "Trampoline" and cut it so it's in the right location spacial-y on the page as if I had cut it all as one cut? Do you understand me? I'm so frustrated that I am confusing myself!!

    I have now grounded my machine, but I haven't tried static guard yet??? I need to get this done for my customer ASAP! Anyone have any solutions.

    I got it to start cutting again! Now, I am still having the same issue with it banging against the left side. I don't have static guard, where do I get that? I am willing to try anything now that is quick! I need to have this done tonight or tomorrow.

    Does anyone know if there is an easy way to break this huge thing into pieces. For example, "The Trampoline Place" is 21 feet long. I know I can select "The" and cut it, but is there a way to then select "Trampoline" and cut it so it's in the right location specially on the page as if I had cut it all as one cut? Do you understand me? I'm so frustrated that I am confusing myself!!

    Thanks everyone. I am going to have my hubby help ground this once he gets home and see if that will work! I know it should have enough memory, because it was already able to cut the web address without too many problems! So, I am guessing it's just a grounding issue. Ahh, at least I hope so!!! I'm going to go crazy if not!!!

    Okay, I will have my husband ground it!

    I guess I am not explaining this well. . . The cutter starts cutting on the far right side at orgin (if you are facing the machine), it will cut a few letters and then it starts feeding the vinyl through like to make the furtherest cut). While it is doing the feeding, the blade moves all the way to the far left side. It gets to the destination, and while it is coming back it cuts a huge diagonal line until it gets to it's next point. It will then proceed to cut the image (going back over the diagonal) line it already cut.

    Is that making more sense???

    Okay, so I need to get this order to the customer by Friday! Yes, I am using MH 721 with a USB connector. It doesn't appear to be dropping the connection at all since it's still cutting.

    Is there a way to break up the cuts. So, one is "The Trampoline Place" with a line above it. Could I somehow cut "The"  then "Trampoline" then "Place" and then try and do the line? Would that work? I obviously don't have time to get more memory or the adaptor too.

    I'm not sure what  "ground your stand to the cutter with a copper wire" but I will ask my husband

    Okay, so I cut vinyl for home interiors. Normally a yard or two is my max length. I am trying to cut something that is 21 feet long. The largest piece I have ever cut. It will just the first few letters and then the blade will go all the way across the vinyl. Bang agains the opposite edge and then when it comes back, it cuts a huge diaganoal line through everything. Is there a tricks to cutting large pieces? Do I need to break them up some how? I have a cute line that needs to be cut too. AHHH! I am totally stressing. Please help!

    BTW- My SignBlazer hasn't been updated in forever since that computer isn't connected to the internet. I am planning on figuring out how to run the updates, but any other help would be great!!!

    Well, I just got some of the videoflex heat transfer from siser and I am going to try it with my iron since I don't have a heat press. Wish me luck! I am going to keep a look out for a used press!!! What graphics do you use? I would like to do some urban contemporary designs. Got any suggestions?

    So, will maintain the colors allowing me to select the colors to cut individually. That is what I am looking for. I can pull it from Photoshop to Sign Blazer and cut, but I want to be able to cut the different colors. Thanks!

    I did a previous post on this, but didn't get much response. How do I import a file from Photoshop in order to cut it in the seperate colors that I had created it in? Is there a certain file type that I need to save it as? Is there something I need to do when it is imported? Let me know so I can cut, please!

    Thank you!!!

    My problem isn't opening the file. I can open it as a .jpg, .bmp, etc. My problem is them being able to cut it in two separate colors. For instance if I have a word that is in black and a clip art that is in red, when I pull it into SB, I can see the colors, but when I vectorize it becomes one color. I need to be able to cut the two separate colors. Does that make sense?

    I have designed a bunch of items in Photoshop. I used two or three colors in the designs. How do I get them into SignBlazer in order to cut the colors separately. Is there a way that I should save them in Photoshop or when I open them up in SignBlazer, is there something specific that I should do? I have tried a few things, but can't seem to figure it out! Please HELP!

    Thanks!
