I'd like to use my versacamm's cutter function to cut out some vinyl lettering for application on a shirt but I'm not sure how to get the cut lines inside the letters. For instance, how do I cut out…Continue

Can anyone recommend a good media to use for creating tagless label transfers? We specialize in poly type sports garments so it would ideal if the material had a little stretch. Thanks Kevin Continue

I'd love to make it to one of you classes soon but the timing hasn't been right. I really could use some hands on training for this machine as I know I'm not getting near the full benefit…"
Admin replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Keep getting offset contour cuts when doing decal runs"for small decals etc, I never go more than 3 or 4 feet tops unless I have a large bleed zone. The accuracy of the machine is 0.04 times the distance travelled or up to .25" at 8 feet of travel. If you are running 5 feet of 4" round decals…"
Kevin Bupp replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Keep getting offset contour cuts when doing decal runs"No longer than 5'."
Admin replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Keep getting offset contour cuts when doing decal runs"how long of a run are you doing before it goes back to cut? "
Kevin Bupp posted a discussionKeep getting offset contour cuts when doing decal runs
I ran a few small runs of 4" round stickers (about 100) for a customer the other day and noticed that the last couple of rows had uneven contour cuts. The cuts were not longer centered therefor I lost a few rows of stickers. It almost seems as though the roll positioning is slightly moving during the cut process causing this problem. Any idea on how to eliminate this from happening.I gues it would help for you to know that I own a sp540v.Thanks and have a great day!KevinSee More
Bob Maggio replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Trouble with High res bitmap photograph....need help!"Have you tried exporting as a tiff and loading directly into versaworks or even a converting to pdf all of these will have an effect on color. Use perceptual for raster.

Kevin Bupp replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Trouble with High res bitmap photograph....need help!"Dana and Dennis,
Thanks for your replies. I made the suggested changes to the settings but I'm still not getting a quality result. It seems like there is a huge discrepancy between quality depending on whether I import the file as a…"
Dennis Dunning replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Trouble with High res bitmap photograph....need help!"I attended the webinar that Dana referred to and it was very informative. One additional thought. Were you using the Solutions Opaque profile? I have never had any luck with that profile; colors always come out darker than they…"
Dana Curtis replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Trouble with High res bitmap photograph....need help!"Kevin,
Where did the file come from? Digital camera, scanner? the RGB space needs to match the capture device. sRGB or Adobe 1998 is what's messing you up. You've changed the color space between design and export.
in Versaworks, select Us…"

I'm having extreme difficulties trying to get a a decent printout on my roland sp540v. The file is a high res bitmap that's saved as RGB. The media is stahls solutions opaque. As soon as I import into versaworks the eyes blacken and the image gets a blue/black hue to it. I've run through at least 2 yards of media testing different settings but can't seem to figure it out. I've attached the image before and what it looks like after coming out of the roland. Any help would be greatly…See More

Thanks again!

I try to avoid bitmap text images as much as possible

Kevin Bupp replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Creating a contour cut line on the inside of lettering??"Yes, I'm using X5. I should also have mentioned that the letters are actually a bitmap image. I'm assuming this makes a big difference."
CYW replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Creating a contour cut line on the inside of lettering??"Kevin are you using Corel?
Just right clicking on your Cutcontour color will put the outline around the whole letter, both inside and out
Are you maybe creating a Boundary around the text by mistake?"
Kevin Bupp replied to Kevin Bupp's discussion Creating a contour cut line on the inside of lettering??"Thanks for the reply. I know how to get the cut line for the outside of the lettering but I'm not sure how to have it apply to the inside of the letters.
Thanks
