contour cut

[hailo]

Hi:
When doing stickers on my Roland sp300v, I use eps files in Illustrator and try to create a contour lining so I can do a contour cut. My nodes are not smooth and you can tell by how the printer cuts them. It's not a smooth cut and I need help. I am doing the contour lining myself, how can Illustrator create the outline for me?
Thank you in advance!

depends on your artwork. if you want it cut right on the edge - no white showing - then you are stuck with all the anchor points. if you select path then offset the path it will add some white space. then you can remove some of the anchor points.
