Good lord I forgot how many people that were willing to help on here. 

Thank you all.

[McCormick-Deering.]

So I'm not necessarily new here, but I haven't been on here for a few years.

I have a friend that builds little bit and miss engines. He wants a McCormick Deering decal for the side of the stand it's on. Does anyone know what don't it is or one close. This is the decal on the engine

[You are all going to laugh at me.]

Someone please stop me if you have tried this.I worked on guitars for a long time.in that time I ended up with a bunch of water base dye.I have some printable ink jet vinyl. I'm going to try to mix some up and dye it instead of trying to use just the basic colors your stuck with. If anyone has done this please let me know.so I don't waste a time. I don't have much money in the paper or dye.

[Pix calculations]

So me being a in/cm kind of guy. I don't understand pixels setting and how they work. I can count on someone here to explain them to me.

[Huion610]

The pressure sensitivity in inkscape using my new huion tablet does not work so far. Every other function does as far as I can tell. To everyone that replied. Thank you.

[Huion610]

Thank You. I have no issues so far.I did go to there site and download the latest drivers

[Huion610]

So I ordered a huion610 tablet. I have looked everywhere and can't find anything about inkscape and this graphics tablet. Can anyone help? Windows7 home and the latest version of inkscape. The huion610 is the usb not the pro.

[ORACAL PROMOTION FILM 100 orafol ???]

Do they really fake vinyl? If so for what reason. It looks like it would be more trouble than its worth.

[Machine looses it mind.....]

The setup on my MH carriage is insulated by the plastic tool holder.The static would come trough the feed rollers and frame. At least mine is.Static does bite though.Not the cutter holder. You really only need one good ground from the cutter to the stand.

[Can anyone help me with inkscape and a graphics tablet?]

I am going to buy a graphic tablet. Is there one that works with inkscape straight out of the box? From what I have read there are issues with most affordable tablets. Anything would be of great help.

[You can get away with a lot of things. Not cheap vinyl.]

I have adjusted my blades just fine. This is exactly what it is. The only vinyl that does it is this. I is with out question the vinyl. My little more 871 mk-2 I can cut stuff that is so small people say it won't cut. It's because I read made sure everything was the way it was supposed to be. Then I started from there. The belt, settings. And it does it on my Roland. So it's the vinyl. I mean absolutely no disrespect. But it's the vinyl.

[using a plotter to cut vinyl is NOT DIE CUTTING]

Your more than welcome.

[You can get away with a lot of things. Not cheap vinyl.]

MZ Skeeter; I have no Idea what kind of vinyl it is. The vinyl would roll up in little balls Like it were getting hot. There are no markings on the backing. Just blank. It was so thin when I layed it on something it was almost trasnparent. It is horrible.

[57 Nomad Theme]

I like it.

[using a plotter to cut vinyl is NOT DIE CUTTING]

So here is where I have to chime in. I'm a Millwright. A cutter/plotter is in no way a die cutter. You've heard the term tool and die.A die cutter has an opposite side in the same shape as the stamping part. Thats how every automobile plant works. For that matter any stamping maching.

[You can get away with a lot of things. Not cheap vinyl.]

Keep this in mind. You can get by with many things,but not cheap vinyl. I have never layed claim that I'm anything other than a idiot with a couple cutters.In fact it's more fun for me if I'm fixing them. So I have figured this out. I can get away with just about everything anyone says has to be done. No keyspan, cheap ass cutters, and the list goes on. You can't in anyway get buy with crappy vinyl!!!!!!!!!.

Do not (all new guy's) buy crap vinyl off Amazon or anywhere like that. It's trash. The stuff I got was given to me. It plug's your cutter, it waste's blades, and more important paitent's. Then you get Pissed and quit. Please Please listen to me. It's great to mess with these machines. Use good vinyl or you'll end up giving up. That's exactly how I got my old US Cutter back.

[Finally Ordered Laser Point]

Laser Point 2. They are on sale now.

[Any monkey with a computer...]

I went through that at the end of my time as a Millwright. At the end they were calling conveyor installers Millwrights. The would see my precision box and had no idea what a dial indicator was. It was time for me to go.

[Oracal or sizer easy weed]

Signyouup that's a great idea.

[Digitizer graphics pad]

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for when buying a digitizer graphics pad? I have noticed that they are software specific. I would like to be able to use inkscape. I'm fond of it.

[Mh 871-MK2 serial cable]

Thanks Guys I ordered a null cable.

[Finally Ordered Laser Point]

So after acting like a huge girl, blaming everyone but my stupidity I finally ordered my Laser Point. Thanks US Cutter!!!!!!!!

[Mh 871-MK2 serial cable]

Can someone please tell me what kind of serial cable I need for this cutter? I have a laptop with a serial port.

[Lazer Point sale Goodbye US Cutter]

I had bad info. I misunderstood the info I got. It was my fault. I just wrote an apologie. I ended up with my cutter back. I guess if people can't make the first cut right they get mad and give up. I'm happy now, but it still was my mistake. I should have known better.

[Us cutter]

Well I sold my cutter to get a laser point. They took it off sale I got Pissed and slammed the cutter company. The sale of my cutter fell through that was good. After I posted the slam on us cutter. I realized it would have been my fault anyway. I'm sorry to the folks at the cutter people. I should have never counted my chickens.
