maddogsrfr81 0 Posted February 23, 2011 John from Daytona here, I learned a lot from the site and hope to give back some soon. I ordered the Creation PCut 24 with stand and it should be here tomorrow. I had to keep a tight budget on this business venture, but hopefully I'll be forced to upgrade. I have a degree in digital media and have thought about getting into vinyl cutting for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Plan on doing advertising signs and automotive decals mostly. I am working on starting a project where a % of the money will go to a charity that will change monthly. I'm pretty excited and hope my graphic design experience will easily convert to vectors to cut vinyl. Thanks for all the info on this site! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogsrfr81 0 Posted February 27, 2011 welcome Thanks everyone. I actually spend this whole weekend(minus some late hours at the bar) learning the machine and software and doing a lot of pen testing on paper. I am waiting for it to send my first cuts to the plotter now. 2 hours waiting..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stetson5331 80 Posted February 27, 2011 2 hours waiting for what? welcome Should only take seconds to send something to the cutter..?? Not sure your doing something correctly... Welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogsrfr81 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Should only take seconds to send something to the cutter..?? Not sure your doing something correctly... Welcome after waiting an hour I learned that. Now it got it working quickly and finally got the blade dept right. Now trying to control where the blade starts since i am trying to use scraps vs. new stuff every time. Also, I have noticed the limitations either from a 45 blade or my 630. I have a client who wants this logo 1 inch tall logo and the .com on the end doesn't cut well because it is smaller than the 1 inch font. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted February 27, 2011 You will be able to do that when you get experience . Reading & beating you head against the wall will get you that . Blade exposure . blade pressure & knowing what fonts cut better at small sizes will make it a breeze after awhile . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
