Zal 0 Posted October 22, 2007 I have a decal with 3 colors, I am trying to make it work in Signblazer but it is coming up with the outline and the whole image colored in black. It is an .eps file from Illustrator. If I hover my pointer over it I can see the 3 objects within the image. Is there something I am not doing right? Maybe a setting to see all 3 layers? Thanks!

Bruce SignBlazer Support 0 Posted October 22, 2007 When you save the file from Illustrator try saving as an Illustrator 8.0 EPS file. Then try importing this into SignBlazer. The other way of getting things from Illustrator is to copy it to the clipboard (Control-C) and then switching to SignBlazer and pasting it into SignBlazer (Control-V). If you still have problems upload the file here and I'll have a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THier 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Great, thanks for the info Bruce. I will try it tonight. Does SB cut registartion marks to line up the colors? I can answer this one,,, if you are using elements,, you need to create some sort of registration marks,, SB Pro has registration marks. BUT In Pro,, Do you have to draw RMs on each layer? Or, does it do it automatically? Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce SignBlazer Support 0 Posted October 22, 2007 The registration marks in the pro version will be cut on all layers / colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zal 0 Posted October 23, 2007 So I cut a circle ( my registration mark) with each layer, the only problem is it acts like a new tile and wont put it in the corner. So I rehomed my cutter after each cut thinking I got it, nope. Now it is putting it at x0 y0 with that layer so it still wont line up. How do you keep that circle in the same spot so you can use it as an origin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce SignBlazer Support 0 Posted October 23, 2007 This topic has some info on how to do the registration marks manually. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?topic=1449.0 Also try with or without "fit to origin" checked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
