Most of the work I do involving vinyl to date has been for car windows, business windows, or on balloons. I have been playing more and more with wall art (especially now because I am getting ready to move into a new place I plan to do some major designing with) and have wanted to do a large tree for a while. I finally sat down yesterday and did this test run for the office I share with a couple of other businesses. Here is the final result. All and all this measures 8 ft wide by 7 ft tall. All plotted on my refine MH 721. Now only two more of these guys to plot and install!

I am working on a large vinyl tree silhouette to apply on a wall. I have a Refine 721 so I am going to need to plot this one out in pieces. My question is what would be the easiest way to go about this. In total this will be just over 8 ft tall and about 9 ft wide. Basically I'm thinking of plotting it like pieces of a puzzle and putting it together on the wall. I guess my biggest issue is breaking it up and then plotting it while keeping each piece proportionate. I hope I am making sense! Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thank you in advance

Yep! In the end I cut it in 10 pieces.

Here are the results of the finished product http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,10796.0.html

I will for sure! I'm going to get it plotted today.

I think I have it figured out **Crosses fingers**

I've read through this board and can't seem to find an answer to this question. I know you can use inkscape to do two layers on lettering but quite frankly I'm dissapointed with the quality that comes out of it. Does anyone know a way to get it to work in Illustrator. Strokes won't work but there has to be a way. It would be much simpler since I design everything in Illustrator and I can just send right to signcut.

I'm having the same problem and I've tried everything. The Baud rate and the USB port are all correct. It was working fine until today. Well I take that back it's had small issues since we opened the box but I keep fixing it. I have a refine as well and havn't nearly had the problems. What else could it possibly be?

I was wondering how the Pcut would handle cutting window tint? Also does anyone know where to pre made templates for window shapes and sizes?

Okay so for the first couple of months I havn't really had any issues. Now suddenly when I go to cut any lettering it cuts way off. For instance say it's cutting an O it wont complete the O correctly the two ends wont connect. I wanted to have this set of signs done for someone tomorrow and I'm pulling my hair out and wasting vinly trying to figure out whats happening. It almost seems like it's the program. I'm using Signcut. I have a Refine MH721 and Im hooked up with USB (my only choice because I'm running this from a laptop) This is extremly frustrating and nothing I am doing is fixing it Any help?

Nevermind! The carriage had come unseated!

So my 721 came last week. The stand was there but no vinyl bar holders as stated. The only response I have received was to tell me the stand was in the bottom of the box. That was obvious and I already had it together when I emailed. I would really appreciate some help on this. It's been over a week since I received the last email. I would like the rest of what I was suppose to receive. The machine has been working great otherwise.

They made it!! Thank you

Thank you!!

Just PMed you my information.

Well nothing on this end yet. Do you have a tracking number or something or did they not get sent out? I've made due with some dowels but I would really like the parts that go with.

Nothing yet Thank you for letting me know that your on it!!

kenimes did you get my email? I havnt heard anything yet

Thanks everyone! Emailed you

Okay so the picture in the auction shows me the "bars" that the vinyl is suppose to sit on. I Get what it does The fact is mine didn't come with those. It did not come with any kind of bars for anything to sit on. I cut some dowels to fix it because I Got tired of waiting for a response. The point is its shown in the auction with the machine so therefore unless otherwise noted it should come with it.

I had the same exact problem. I just discovered the answer! When you go to Cut Out in Signcut UN-Check "Highest quality, for small objects". If you go to preview before you will probably see the little tabs. Turn it off and look again. Walla! Worked for me!

ahh! Thank you. I kind of wondered if it was the vinyl or if that would happen

I got mine yesterday and I have to agree!! The only issue I'm having is the rollers leaving marks on the vinyl.

Hi everyone! I've been looking on and off for a few years. I run a convention for My Little Pony and to date we have paid to have companies make our signs and decals to sell. I finally decided to go for it since we could have bought a cutter already in what we have spent. The Decals we sell now are a hit but I look forward to more variety as well as offering servies to other events in our community. I also run a design business so it could turn into something on the side. Anyway wanted to say hi!

Perfect!!! Thank you tater that is exactly what I was looking and the pricing is perfect! Very much appreciate the help
