BamBam82 1 Posted March 5, 2012 Hi, I have an Crimson Tide widown decal that I want to cut using white as the outline and red as the main part of the decal. Are there any how to videos on how to do this? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BamBam82 1 Posted March 5, 2012 I've watched a few videos on Youtube but all I can find are the ones showing how to put them together once they've been cut. I need to know if there is a certain way it's suppose to be done in the program before cutting. Oh and I am using Inkscape and SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted March 5, 2012 is your file colored? if so you should be able to send it to cut then just click your ooutline color load it cut, change color and click it in the cut program and there you have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BamBam82 1 Posted March 5, 2012 It was color when I first started with it but after putting it through Inkscape it's just a black outline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BamBam82 1 Posted March 5, 2012 This is what I want to do but instead of all four colors I just want to do the white and burgandy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted March 5, 2012 E-Z with SignBlazer ( maybe an easier way than how i do it .. Jay will know ) . " Split " the design & then change the parts you want seperate into a different color , Then ( edited & corrected " combine " ... what i 1rst posted , will turn it into 1 color { see quoted part next post ) " Group " it . Sometimes the split option does not work for me with some files When you send it to the cutter you can cut each color seperate to eliminate some weeding . You can cut the complete decal in different colors vinyl & weed according to how you want the finsihed product to look . It will use the same amount of vinyl , just more weeding & more chances to make a mistake . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What he said^^^^ Also would be a good idea for you to print some registration marks in each color to make it easier to line up the colors when your applying the ap tape. Check this video out, shows perfectly how to properly make a multi-layered decal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
