And when I trace the first image you showed, it comes out looking just almost identical to the original. So I thought I'd copy your image and try a trace myself, to try and figure out why they were being drawn like that. I see the "double lines" that you're talking about. Partly I'm curious, because the image in SCAL looks so different from the original that you posted. But I'm just curious about what you did with the Node tool. So what did you do with the Node tool? Obviously you applied a color gradient with the Gradient tool. Then I do something with F2 and Ctrl+F1Īt that point I dunno what to do anymore.į2 engages the Node tool. Maybe its better when I tell you in steps:Ĥ. (Look just below Submit button for "Upload attachment" button, then follow prompts.) Anyway, if you can't make any other description (due to difficulty translating), can you please provide the SVG file? You won't be able to upload that to ImageShack, because they don't accept SVG format. But I've never used it before I wouldn't know what to expect. Or maybe you could put an arrow on the screenshot, showing the part of the drawing that's causing the problem? (After you paste the print screen image into the other graphics program that you used, you should be able to just draw an arrow using that program's drawing tool.)Īctually, the image in the SCAL screenshot doesn't look much like your first image. If that's not the problem, can you somehow describe the problem any differently than "double cutting line"? For example, is it cutting out the tiny circles of the lace pattern, that you don't want to be cut out? Or is the extra cutting line lying right on top of the one you want to cut? I don't know anything about SCAL, so even with your new screenshot, I can't see what the problem is.Īre you saying that it's cutting out the flower, but you don't want it to? If that's what you mean, then I guess you would just delete the flower in Inkscape, before you send it to SCAL. I have an idea what might be the problem, but I can't be sure, without additional information. You said the image looks fine in Inkscape, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the problem isn't happening in Inkscape. Unfortunately, I still don't understand what you mean about the double cutting line. And we usually must learn by taking one step at a time That's not a problem Never be pulling from a roll while cutting.No worries, Crien, we can have patience about language and translation issues, and still solve the problem. Illustrator does not have a way to set blade offset or blade overcut, which you need on a value cutter.Īlways make sure you have vinyl prefed to do the whole order. When you think the blade tip is so far in the blade holder that you wouldn't think it would cut, It is probably about right. You only cut with the very tip of the blade. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You should barely see and feel the blade out of the blade holder. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. Then go 0.05 plus or minus and see what looks good. That TEST cut should be right, before you go sending designs. Use the TEST feature on your vinyl cutter. Do not use a credit card or post it notes to set your blade depth. Too many wrong instructions out there that just won't go away. It all starts with having the correct blade depth.
