Seems totally counter-productive, doesn't…"

CYW replied to Ginger Benckert Downs's discussion Problem Solved with jpeg & cut lines!"Let me add an addendum.......your graphic doesn't always need to be vector........but your cut line does need to be vector.

CYW replied to Mike F's discussion VS-640 not finishing cuts on letters and missing side when "Cut Image Boundaries" set"okay, my dear....just curious
why do you think your cutline needs to be separate from your text?
No need for you to do all that extra clicking
Your cutline can be 'attached' as a hairline outline or a separate onject with no…"

I guess I have too many cutlines and just have to weld all of them in each object to be one so outline is the only cutline. It takes an oldie a little longer to figure it out!!!

Thank you so much. I have learned alot from all of you already and as a newbie to print and cut I can use it. I have done vinyl cutting for 4 years and love it and this will be such an asset to wall vinyl designs that we do. I got my new machine on thursday and spent today trying to get cutlines on a large mural and found it had been put into I think vector with alot of cut lines and not just an outline of an object so I am trying to figure out if there is a way to weld things within the mural without having to do all individual objects or even where weld is in Corel. I use another program to weld so this is the long way of doing it but I love it. Anyhow I look forward to being apart of this blog. Pat

Thanks for the invite. I have been looking for a group of like minded Roland folks. I have designed and ran my products on VersaCamm's as well as Pro III's over the years (8+). I am consulting for a company that is new to digital applications (they screen print vinyls and acrylic). They recently purchased a VersaCamm SP-540i and are pleased with the results thus far. During my last onsite visit to their manufacturing facilty this past week they were experimenting printing on seat grade vinyl. All looked good except when they were printing warm and cool grays (a digital industry issue it always seems). Trying to remotely help them as they move forward and am looking for general suggetions. I've always done gray adjustments on calendared vinyls using "tested swatches" This seat grade vinyl seems to be presenting a challenge because of not having a specific profile for the media. Anyway I'm hunting for ideas. Best, Wally
