  1. OK I bought my cutter last Feb. since then it has been a really good investment. I made my initial investment back within three weeks of my purchase. I can stay busy with it when I want to and it has brought in quite a bit of extra income. Until this most everything has been "copy" from Google images, trace into SCALP, edit/add/subtract content, cut, deliver.It's time for me to get into a real vectorizing software program. I've downloaded a couple of the free ones (sign Blazer I think was one). They had a very early 90's software feel to them that I didn't like. Photography was a hobby of mine and I was pretty familiar with PS# (boot leg copy back in the day) and PE Elements (legal copy this time), but my graphic design skills have not been tested. I've looked briefly at Corel Draw, AI, and PS whatever is the current corresponding number this week. Can you guys help with input on what you like and don't like about these and other softwares. I don't really find the webpages too informative of the products, just more of a teaser to get you to buy. What's good? What has a user friendly interface? and what Has a pretty realistic learning curve?


  2. There was a thread a while back where some people had posted links to places where they order things like water bottles, tervis cups, t-shirts, and etc from. I've searched for it and can't find it at all. Can some of you please post up some links to sites to get these items at good pricing. looking to do heat trans and vinyl application.


  3. select the path you want to type on. right click and select transform then rotate. it will have your trxt move to the underside rather than the top. then you can right click and flip it. it'll take some tinkering with and probably a  "how'd I do that" moment but it'll happen.

  4. I need to add font to the bottom of a circle in scalp3. but it always types with the bottom of the letter touching the path/circle. Is htere a way ti invert text when typing so that the letters in essence would hang from the bottom of the circle from their tops rather than their bottoms?


  5. I'm looking for a vector of the backside of pistol shell casings. Where the primer is and the caliber stamp. It'll be used for a local gun group to put their group name in on the same circumference as the caliber (45ACP, 9mm, 223, 40S&W). vehicle rear window decals.
