    Nursery Graphics

    I'm looking for some nursery graphics for my daughters nursery and for my niece. Does anyone have a source for something that would work? I don't mind paying for a collection if someone knows of something available.

    Does anyone know of any other easily removable material that can be printed on inkjet?

    Contour cutting phototex

    I have a friend that wants some printed decals made and I don't have the time/assets to invest in solvent printing. I do have phototex and thought I'd give that a try.

    File Size Makes a difference?

    I have a 28" MH Series cutter and I'm using Sign Cut Pro to send my cuts. Let me start by saying, I've had a "fun" time learning my way through this. Last night, I was doing some longer cuts, 5" wide by 42+" in length. I have been using .eps files out of illistrater CC. Now using these files, I'd get random cuts after a short way into the project. As the result of another issue I was having, I discovered .svg files and decided to try one of those to see if that would cut better. I didn't have single problem after that. The .eps files were all bout 1.6mb in size while the .svg files were 7-10k. My long-winded question is this: Could the size of the file be causing my cutter to go haywire?

    Sign cut won't accept the ai files. I'll try that with one of my other projects today. Thanks for the tips!

    Have you ever had one of those, "well I'm an idiot moments?" I had one this morning. Im not sure if It was a dream or what but I saved the file as an .svg instead of an .eps and the file worked properly, go figure! I'm still working on the pen tool, but this project is now in the bag!

    I tried Inkscape, but it won't load correctly on my Mac. I guess I'll try it again.

    I use image trace in Illustrator. Is there a preferred method?

    What program do you use for plotting? When SignCut Pro opens it, it's very weird acting. Could it be a ScP issue?

    Sorry about that. Regardless, This image is doing the same thing. Am I doing something wrong when vectoring the images? images.jpeg.eps

    These are the screenshots of what the cutter sees when I select each color.

    Not cutting colors right

    When I first loaded the file, it only showed black. There was a rgb/cmyk issue.

    Not cutting colors right

    When I try to cut that, It only has one color. I'm looking to cut so the black is one sheet and the "White" is layered on top with the black showing through. Is that possible?
  20. I've only been making vinyl decals for about a year. A client has asked me if I can print their logo onto vinyl. While I know I can do a layered vinyl, they don't want that. What is a good, inexpensive printer that would get me started in the world of printing and contour cutting? I'm ordering a Graphtech CE-6000 in a few min to upgrade from my Mk721. Any advice would be great!
