Daveskustoms 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Hey guys I'm new at this so bare with me. I recently bought a vinyl express cutter and it came with flexi apprentice. I'm useing this setup for making paint masks. Now, I've got my cut lines placed on the image I'm working on and I want to cut a copy of the image 1/8" inside it. If i just cut one, then try to srink it, it doesn't come out right. Is there anyway to add a border without just creating one? Also how can I use other program to cut with, I have inkscape and gimp. Can either one of those be used to cut with? Thanks Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Dave Could you offset a line and change the color? I have done that before or are you looking to contour cut it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremySI 18 Posted March 7, 2011 You need to do an offset. Just shrinking an image isn't going to work like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
