I got a sublimation 16x24 from ebay and it was dented n broke. Real question...how do i know how much pressure im applying with that threaded knob???

Looking closer at the Signcut advanced settings...it has a check box for "step by step" cutting; keeping the vinyl from scrolling too much and cutting within sections....this might be something like it.

Lol..Funny Hawkeye. And thanks for all the responses everyone... Jay, that Signblazer requires a subscription fee???

Using Illustrator CS2, Sign Cut and 24" Laserpoint (Red). My cutter jumps around the sticker when cutting it out instead of efficiently doing it in some type of order...i feel as if its working harder than it needs to be..

Pretty Much, Yeah. You go Offline and then hit mode until you see cut speed. Mine only changed with + & - and the you keep hitting mode until you see x+0 and y+0...Thanks a bunch

Woo Woo!! just got it. Check the box "strokes" along with the already checked "fills," i could see the preview says "1" color...when i opened and previed it in Signcut, i saw it cut everything ONCE...wonderful. this will help me a bunch on future projects...Thanks everyone

I wish i have figured this out by now but havnt. I dont see "one color" option in the live trace..not in the presets or when i choose color and it must have atleast 2 -256 colors. Can i get this even though my project is in RGB? i also have Photoshop and Imageready....would it be possible in any of these even though i think Signcut only reads ai. files

Thank you hockeygirl that makes sense. I didnt have anything to "ungroup" like the first reply suggested. And does anyone like inkscape? Its new to me and havnt done anything in it.

I'll check that out. Thanks for the reply

Thanks i'll try that tonight.

i turn cutter offline to change settings....i want to turn speed of cutter from 70% to 50% and then hit the center button....same one to zero out start location of cutter but it doesnt change.. im using SIGNCUT...Thanks

ME AGAIN...AND NO I DONT HAVE MULTIPLE LAYERS OR ANYTHING HIDDEN IN ILLUSTRATOR

for the most part i have it down...for fonts i just "create outlines" in illustrator and it cuts in Signcut. When i draw something in Illustrator, i usually "flatten transparency and then rasterize" and it cuts fine...but not always.. I NOW HAVE A SCANNED PDF FILE AND WHEN I "LIVE TRACE" IN ILLUSTRATOR, SIGNCUT WANTS TO CUT THE SAME STICKER MULTIPLE TIMES..in the past its done this and cut the exact path but lately its pretty off on the 2nd and 3rd cut...big problem and mess. Whats my solution pro's.
