You may have to clean or remove parts of the image you do not want, The inkscape trace may not be perfect. Once youve cleaned it up to your liking export it as EPS and open it in your cutter software of choice as inkscape doesnt interface with the cutters themselves you will use Signblazer,FlexiSign or Other cutter software to actually cut the decal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sciontim 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Ok, this is great but anyone have some tips on images with color's??? In VM I was able to vector colored images and then cut the images as different layers and apply them on the cars I put them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imarcnut 0 Posted March 29, 2008 unfortunately Inkscape only does black and white. Corel Trace will do colours but you end up with a vector for each shade you will have to reduce the amount of colours to get less vectors. IMHO converting color to b&w and then vectorizing gets a better product even if you have to separate the different items for your colours.Less clean up time in the end.
