Guest sciondrgn Posted September 12, 2007 Go Easy on me First time ever doing any of this stuff Ok, I got the stand all setup last night and the cutter attached, Had some issues with the screws stripping out but with the right tools I got it all together.. Got it moved in next to my computer and I started to set it all up. I do have a question though, As far as the options (downforce) and what not. Whats the best setting for it? It took me several test cuts to get the blade just right but it seems like Im almost there on getting the downforce set. I think I had it on 140 last night when I cut the dragon out. I've never used the SignBlazer software before so Im getting used to its quirks and handling, So far it seems like a pretty good program. I cut a simple URL banner and a dragon image that I had in EPS. I did notice that when I went to cut the image it would be in layers and not cut the whole thing, later after playing around with the software I found the group/weld options which seems to do the trick in getting the image to cut as I see it on the screen. Are there any good tips or tutorials for this? Heres a quick snap of the first two things ive cut that came out pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sciondrgn Posted October 19, 2007 How did you do that layered sticker??? Very nice work I used Flexi Cut for that one, Signblazer does it as well.. I set out the text and set it to size, then did the outline option and set the size there. Right click on the new image and split the outline then cut both in seperate colors then lay them down one at a time I lined it up by eye sight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legokcen 0 Posted October 28, 2007 been cutting a few more, really like how these turned out I like this one a lot. I'd like to get one similar to that of a dog running. I'd like to make a sign for "Scalded Dog Motorsports." My wife and I have 3 dogs so I thought it would be appropriate for the race car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
