MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 10, 2009 are you deleting the bitmap, before saving as .eps? You need to slide the first image away and delete it first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tammylynn49459 0 Posted October 10, 2009 yes, I am deleting, that's why I even downloaded an eps from this site to see if I was doing something wrong. I have the same problem with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted October 10, 2009 This is a video of how I do it. Are you making sure to take the default extension off of the file name when you save it? http://screencast.com/t/YTHLjSjs Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buggie Pilot 4 Posted October 10, 2009 Tammy, When you go to your import screen in SignBlazer at the bottom there is a choice of List of File Types Make sure you have selected All Graphic or PostScript Files if not .EPS Files will not show up. Good Luck Buggie Pilt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberChuck 4 Posted October 10, 2009 Can you upload one of the eps files you created? Could probably help you more. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tammylynn49459 0 Posted October 11, 2009 I have tried my own files, I have tried eps files from this forum. Sign Blazer will not recognize any of them. I save them as an eps and try to import to sign blazer and nothing. Can not seem to figure this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 11, 2009 can you just take a picture of your monitor screen when you are trying to import, and upload here, just use a digital, cellphone, whatever,, maybe a couple pictures in sequence, maybe you just got something clicked wrong. We are trying to help, just can't see your screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tammylynn49459 0 Posted October 11, 2009 I have now got other eps files to signblazer. Still having problems creating my own. Did step by step with Jays video and still cannot make a graphic that is a useable eps. Even tried just typing my name and that didn't work, can't even send it to you so you can tell what I'm doing wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 11, 2009 what kind of computer and operating system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 11, 2009 when you are in Signblazer,. can you just enter 123 onto your screen and send to cutter.? Don't save, just send to cutter, can you do that.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tammylynn49459 0 Posted October 11, 2009 I am using a dell, with windows xp. yes if I type in 123 it will send to cutter. OK, when I download an eps file from the forum I get an eps and a pvw, two files. but when I try to save an eps file in inkscape all I get is a pvw, one file. Does this help with finding a possible solution? I have fllowed Jays video step by step and I can not get an eps file to save correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have fllowed Jays video step by step and I can not get an eps file to save correctly. are you doing SAVE AS? when you are saving your file in inkscape there is a large box in the lower right corner, that you changes to different extentions, are you putting that on encapulated postscript,, can you take pictures of your monitor when you are trying to import? and upload them so we can see?
