hot mark how much is it per meter
looked at grafityp emailed them they say 4.92 a meter for 378mm wideis that about right seems dear to me

[onestopsigns]

may be but its an upgrade

and who would fix mine
the seller wont h e wont even return calls
creation wont i think as all i get when i try to enter contact page is sonme hi ro glifficks and microsoft 404 message

[onestopsigns]

thank you very much for that pal

emailing them now

u say sign wizard are the uk imports for kingcut
do u know of them are they reliable as in will i get the cutter if i pay him as he wont accept paypal only cash through post or in to his bank

[onestopsigns]

graphtec ? ok how much are we talking and were from

how ever i would expect [call me crazy if u like] letters in cappitals 5 inch high all to be 5 inch high wether rounded tops or straight the higher point on wat ever letter should be 5 inch
for example i did some 18 inch letters it did all well and in cappitals i was so chuffed it had done them put them up and it looked funny the 4 letter in to the end were gradually getting bigger the end result was 19.3 inch letter at end and 18 inch at start
i think thats a bit off
how ever i was watching it cut today and i think the right hand base roller is moving slightly quicker than left but any way thanks for ur advice and i will be getting something new or used this week end so any hints were to get would be greatly appreciated
but budget is limited to 900 loans are out of question im afraid

[onestopsigns]

well wat would u sugest ?

[onestopsigns]

philk

it really is a good cheapish machine
if the after sales service was up to scratch then this would be a perfect alrounder

im sure the errors im getting are either a fault to over use of machine or a fault in how im doing it

hi its not a case of i cant get hold of him
i emailed 2 nights ago saying i wanted to buy a new machine he emails back with wat must be his standard message saying please fone
so yesterday morning i go out of my way to fone before i plod of to work
he gets a customer in so asks if he can fone back takes house and mobile number as said was of to work
asked how long he said 2 -3 hours and guess wat im still fricken waiting

just like when i say i have problem with machine he says ill fone back and does till he doesnt now an answer then he just gives up and doesnt fone

how ever i do like the machines easy to use when they work and apart from the long words cutting squint and say i cut a a 6 letter word at list the forth letter is bigger than the rest

but at least haveing dealt with him i know i will get my prchase were as the king cut guy i dont no
and with all ebay purchases im a bit cautious hence asking if any 1 new sign wizard uk

[onestopsigns]

i do but got it from allan flyn signs and ive got the pcut version not kingcut
but flyn doesnt seem to value people paying him money his aftercare is shit and he doesnt return fone calls when he says he will

[onestopsigns]

or a company called signwizarduk

[onestopsigns]

well ive scrapped that machine now and am looking for another this evening yet again the bloke i got it from hasnt foned me back as he said h e would due to he had a customer in when i foned this morning
limited budget narrows the feild though

[onestopsigns]

amnd also is there a supplier here thats up in aberdeen ish that i could go and see for vinyl and equipment as it seems most of u know suppliers local and chat to them every other day from what im reading on other posts

[onestopsigns]

hi basically i have a 24 inch cutter and some sub stuff fo rmugs ect

no one does this stuff up here so a good market if i can get it right
i was going to buy pre printed vinyl but at 35 quid a meter seemed a bit dear concidering id get 2 xboxes done out of a meter and skins are avail on ebay for 5 quid upwards

wat exactly would i have to buy to print on to vinyl in small lenghts then laminate if required

bearing in mine a very small budget

[onestopsigns]

hi thanks found the tuturial will have to do some reading now cheers again for your time folks

[onestopsigns]

yes thanks that will do nicely cheers

[onestopsigns]

i take it that wasnt allowed?

[onestopsigns]

(mod edit)

[onestopsigns]

thatll be the pics we borrowed from webs and ebay to show examples of what im talking about as i have done any vans yet , a net aquaintence made the site for me as he said i had sh@@ one

[onestopsigns]

thanks
i really appreciate all the time you and the rest of this board have put in on this

[onestopsigns]

me again bet your all sick of me

today we cut and drew several more of these bloody dragons none worked so tried 2 other types one failed and 1 worked

the 1 worked was the same as the one weve been trying to do except its the inners as i call it this one is no use to us as has no lines holding it together just the blocks like u filled in the colour of the other dragon .if thast makes sence

how ever with this one working i really dont understand why the others dont

would a new or different type of cutter be any different

lj can u email me the flexisign image u mentioned to loadsofstikas@aol.com got to get this sorted by thursday got a car coming in for them

never thought they would be this hard to do

does any one have any other dragons that may work the customer might opt for them in stead

[onestopsigns]

hi
its a creation pcut 610 24 inch cutter on well its a serial end at the computer and a parrelel end at cutter
serial settings will check but basically 8 months ago i just plugged in loaded software and started cutting never did owt with settings

all other work is ok except it drags the vinyl accross on big jobs now sorted thanks to robert and a set square .

[onestopsigns]

off to try it now mate cheers

[onestopsigns]

ok i must be doing some thing wrong

al these u say will cut fine end up not cutting in my shop

all i do is import the ai image to flexisign stretch it to size by dragging the edges then press cut button
it then goes to cutter and cuts then it just decides to add lines

now when import it i cant see any lines that shouldnt be there
so i just dont understand it i really dont

[onestopsigns]

thats a great tip cheers

[onestopsigns]

simon c cheers but thats the one with 5 legs

ive done a few more attempts today turning out costly lol

ok first one cut head then front paw then went and drew a straightline down the vinyl

second 1 cut the entire body perfect except a line near tail cutting back through the top of the boidyslightly
then the cutting finneshed and it missed out the head all to gether

the first was dragon 3 that i did through flexisign
the second was dragon 3 wich i did through flexisign and welded it

[onestopsigns]

flexi cuts with our cutter
creation pcut is all i know there chinese i think
gonna use this flexi its not as daunting as i first thought cheers

dragon 3 ive imported itto flexi and i came up with lines like it was cut in sections but i welded it and now there gone so hope it works will give it a go shortly
thanks for all your help and fingers crossed i wont need to trouble u again

[onestopsigns]

ive a creation p cut 610
useing corel draw artcut as the cutter andplaying with flexisign as a new cutter proggy

[onestopsigns]

just looking now mate cheers

[onestopsigns]

i seem to have a line going through his eye to his foot

[onestopsigns]

Also, I’d convert all beziers to arcs. Sometime enlarging a file that has beziers, will thro a spike in the graphic, resulting in a cut tine.
didnt follow that bit sorry were are bexxiers and how do u convert them

as for pannelling sorted that last week so just got the one pannel now

[onestopsigns]

thanks for that lj most appreciated and will have a look at flexi to see if i cant work out to fix it me self had the same problem with a football clubs badge not long ago
but i useally use artcut but the flexisign7.5 i used to day was simple yet i started on flexi 6 could not master it . i take it we alter the pic in corel not flexi ?

[onestopsigns]

hi before i continue can i just thanks for all the replies this one has driven me up the wall the customer wanted it for his car i told him sorry today and sold him some squigly design instead but i hate giveing up on this so can you bear with me

1, how do see the lines that shouldntbe there when i use corel 11 it looks fine even in wire cut

2, ive welded the image file in eps in my cutter program called artcut i even used flexisign 7.5 today that failed to

3, tidying up is there some sort of help file to get me started on this

4,ive took it in to corel and exported the image and the wire frame aseps then imported to artcut and flexisign
out of 7 cuts i got 1 at 80 cm long to work but when i tried to do it a second time it failed

5, cokka wat did u use to cut it and how big also email addy is (mod-edit)

6,lj i didnt design it mate it was here in the swaps section a few weeks ago

7, simon c how do u remove a layer in corel ?

8,carrie wat is this rip thing seen somet about it when i was looking at printers but not heard it on cutters were do i get one and wat does it do

9,lj the eps i posted mate no ai
eps was welded yet then u say i have 5 sections not sure howu now this or wat it means really want to learn if ya have time to help

and i know these may seem simple questions but take it easy with me my brains a bit slower than most

[onestopsigns]

and how do u see if they cuts through them ?

[onestopsigns]

thanks you lot are the best most appreciated will give that 1 a try tommorrow morning
wat are the error with the tail ?out of the cuts ive done most failed at the tongue tail or front claw

[onestopsigns]

wat price for cutter?ash

[onestopsigns]

hi i use frontpage and host it with nd hosting

my hosting for first site was 40 quid but my main site i only paid 23 quid incluiding a dot com

front page open a template and copy paste wat u need
simple as can be or though with out a template its looks very daunting and complicated
frontpage comes with office 2003 if ya aint got it im sure i can send ya a disk

(mod-edit)

[onestopsigns]

hi ti runs at speed 50 ill try slowing it down

it manages to cut most stuff

think ill get another machine as the warranty with this one seems a bit well only if the seller can be bothered type

could do wit a spare any way
thanks for all ur help

[onestopsigns]

my name is ian ,lynn.

ill see if i cant knock up a standif no ill buy one soon

as for me it could be me but pretty sure i line em em damn close to straight but may be not

why a 48 inch cutter cause we want to do car side graphics more than any thing else and just seems easier to get the bigger one as some of the folk have asked for wider than 600 cm saves joining as ive never tried joining but i bet its a bugger to do

4 meter cut just seemed ideal as it would get his hole words in 1 go
as for splitting up the words this is wat i did yesterday eventually
but the weird bit there supposed to be 18inch letters high and thay came out well i was doing the word kessock and the k was perfect then e was ok and s came out angled a bit then s was 1/4 inch bigger then rest cut perfect just a 1/4 inch bigger

how much do u charge for an 18 inch high letter?

[onestopsigns]

hi its a creation pcut 610/630
its about 7 months old bought from flyn signs via ebayit was bought as a new machine instead of getting one of these little 12 inch stikas machines

will give it a good clean tommorrow see if that helps got me first big order to do and its dragged off the page so ruined 4 meters today and and an hours work

was going to upgrade to 1220 machine as soonas i can afford one

but its a bugger it wont stay straight

i dont have the stand but would it makethat much difference i have a rooller type thingat back for the vinyl roll and i use rolls of 5 meters up to 20 meters

[onestopsigns]

the last month or so but before that i was just cutting small stickers so wouldnt hav eknown

[onestopsigns]

thanks for that mate ,pretty sur eits not me but ya never no .

[onestopsigns]

ive the square aprilla in eps and an aprilla raceing one if there any use ill stick em up for ya

[onestopsigns]

thanks to beckys roller were now offering show plates
hig h street shop ,no dvla licence [yet] can we do a plate with kermit the frog at one end and the blokes licene plate lettering on rest
were in scotland if that makes a difference
wat would we have to do to be allowed by who ever to make this plate?

[onestopsigns]

the 3 dragons are the one im talking about except they had 5 legs and a kind gentle man here posted one with 4 legs this is the one ive been useing

the fault was caused near its tail first time and tounge second time

today i cut it a metwer long with flexi sign 7.5 and it cut perfectly
yet in artcut it dont

i need this bigger 1.5 meters to 2 meters long so will play with flex sign tommorrow as ive never used it till today as like artcuts simplicity

as for memory handshakes ect
is this memory in plotter orin pc ? if pc more memory will help yes?

[onestopsigns]

but ok then why does this cut buetifully at 30 cm long yet wont at 1 meter long
sure the same mistakes would be on the smaller as is on the bigger one

[onestopsigns]

hi thanks for all responces will post it up tommorrow as i left it in shop in disgust lol

i am on windows xp

i am set as x on x off

it is an outline and it does show up as it should do

ive had a few of these a si poiste dbefore and was told to weld which sorted it but its not sorting this one lol

mr sticker sounds like ur veiws might be the right thing how would i solve it
its an ai image which i saved to pc from here in the swaps sections of the dragon made for me with 4 legs
then i impoted to corel 11 then exported to eps for me to import in to artcut

is there any cutters that just cut from ai ? or is that un heard of .

[onestopsigns]

so scotish folk dont have to register to make legal plates is this rite ?was reading dvla and they seem to hint that i do

[onestopsigns]

so it has lol

[onestopsigns]

cheers peter and jill thanks played a bit more with you said last and think ive done it was trying all morning but was not manageing with ur help ive cracked it i think

the reds gone the image is straight so the panels shouldnt be affected

so should cut it out now cheers off to try it

[onestopsigns]

IT IS IN PANNELS

IT WOULD APEAR IF I CAN STRAIGHTEN THE IMAGE THEN I CAN MAKE IT FIT

BUT ITS PROVEING A PAIN

IVE ATTACHED THE IMAGE HOPEFULLY
ITSA RED BACKGROUND AND WHITE DRAGON I WANT THE WHITE DRAGON NOT THE RED SQUARE
BUT GOES FROM BOTTOM LEFT TO TOP RIGHT DIAGONALLY IF IT WENT STRAIGHT IT WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM LOOKING TO CUT THIS AT A SIZE OF 55CM HIGH BY 180 CM LONG
CANT FIND THE ATTACH BIT LOL
