ok so i figured i go ahead and try my first multi colored sticker...and gues what!! im haveing problems. i run my image in sign blazer but ofcourse it has bitmaps and it wont cut..so i then run it threw photoshop change all my colors and then save it as a eps..but then it crashes signblazer when uploading so i trace image in inkscape still a no-go so i go to my last option in running it threw vector magic and yet again no-go..can someone give me some pointers on maybe a step process or maybe even know what im doing wrong? thanks alot in advance and below is the image im trying to work with..i thought it be pretty simple lol.

if you tried to import that image you posted into sb, its not going to cut. its a jpg. opening it in photoshop and saving it as an eps does nothing, its still not a vector drawing. its just a jpg saved as an eps.

there are stickies here as to how to properly trace an image in inkscape to turn it into a useable vector file. once you do that, save it as an eps and you should be good to go.

Try this. I did it in inkscape. Trace bitmap, brightness cutoff .060. Then break apart to make each color. Hope it helps

Yes, I started with 3 colors (Black, Red, Green) but it wanted to include the white background too so I needed to change it to 4 colors.
