  • Does anyone use VMP – Vinyl Master Pro – Need some help!

    Posted by Marie-renee on 24 March 2007 at 16:40

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is anyone who uses VMP that could help me out with a few basic pointers….particularly about how to import images, I am getting confused with the trace etc. and the manual doesnt seem to be helping much either……

    Thanks

    Hi Marie
    Open VMP ,Open new page then go to File (top left) Then scroll down to import , then a Box will come up asking which file you want to import. At the top of that box you also have to pick from where File is Example C/drive D/drive or floppy. Select it and that should import it.
    Hope that helps,

    PS if it is a EPS file click EPS button in open file to import box/it will open a box with my computer/click on my computer/click on what you want to import. If this is not clear let us know.

    Thanks Graham,

    I have imported images now but I am still having trouble with my image, once it is imported (it is a jpeg file) if I send it to cut there is an empty square. Any ideas what I need to do?

    I dont suppose you live near Worthing and fancy having a pupil for a day?

    Thanks

    Marie-renee,

    Your machine will not "cut" a jpeg,it will have to be converted to a vector (lines and shapes) first!!

    Hi Fred,

    I have altered the image from my desktop by right clicking on the image and going to bitmap then edit/vectorise….I then trace the image which is fine (I change it to monochrome as instructed) then accept…….

    my problem now is that the cut option isnt highlighted as an option after i send it to the spooler….not sure what it is Im not doing…my cutter is communicating fine….any ideas?

    Thanks
