Thanks all. I'm going to try some small test pieces with all the methods suggested.

Going to be making a set of letters out of alupanel that will be two layers thick with the bottom layer larger all around (and a different color) to make a setback outline. I'm thinking silicone would be fine to glue the layers together but would like to hear about any other material/methods...

Looks like Ariel Rounded MT Bold

I saw that item also and looked into the cost difference of the blades .... hardly any difference really. Considering how long a blade usually lasts I concluded it wasn't worth the cost of buying the adaptor. If you need a blade holder though I think that item is a bit cheaper than a graphtec...

You might want to check/change the spelling on "Nutritionist".

Good luck with it. Signgo lite looks like a reasonable program to start with.

The Cutting Master plugin that works from within Illustrator or CorelDraw on a mac or a PC is only one way to drive the plotter. There are other (and better) ways to make it work if you have a drawing program that outputs suitable files. Try SignCutX2 for a start. Right now I use it (the...

the plugin is a sort of software extension you install/copy into the plugins folder in the Illustrator program.

The Cutting Master plugin should have come with the plotter.

That's right, I have a legal FlexiLetter program for an older mac running OS 9. It would be far better than Illustrator 9 for vinyl cutting. If the OP wants to get the older mac and have a real sign making program for it he could PM me.

Yes it will work from a mac, but you'll need a "bridge" program/plug-in to cut from Illustrator. The cutter probably came with one called Cutting Master 2. Did it? It should also have come with the appropriate cables. While Cutting Master 2 does let you cut from Illustrator that's all it does...

He's jolly because he's got a list of all the naughty girls.

I've just cut a bunch of reflective vinyl using the regular blade and holder on my graphtec CE5000-60. What I did was slow the speed down to 12 and upped the down force to 18. It cut beautifully with no problems.

Instead of adding a thicker stroke to the letters convert the letters to curves then offset the paths by the desired amount then delete the original paths.

I'm thinking the same as signmeup. Great design and execution.

Had one ask for some lettering on something clear in some kind of frame to hang in a glass door. I said why not just put the lettering on the door glass. "How would you do that?? he asks. "UM .... same way I'd put them on something clear in a frame ... like your door glass"

A while back a high school theater teacher friend asked me to reproduce a 4 foot diameter Coca-Cola logo for a part of a set background. I contacted the local Coke company about this and was told "No problem - Thanks for asking". I collect some Coke stuff so I donated it to the school for the...

oops ... obviously I can't ... a mistake I learn so much from mistakes that I intend to keep making them:Big Laugh

1. I received my first taste of enlightenment at the Batu caves in 1964 2. I have 20 tattoos 3. I never played any sports in school and never watch any on TV 3. I think most TV programs are demeaning trash 4. I don't believe the "Official Story" about what happened on 9-11 5. I don't trust...

It looks like the building top would have to have something added to it to get that design on it.
