looks great. if you can master contour cutting, your on your way to success.

Looks good for a first go... im not a fan of having my stroke lines the same as my outer outline but thats a personal opinion hehe.

 

[Mike Paul]

Not bad. One thing I would do it flip the gradient so the darker color is on the bottom. This way you won't have the dark spots on the uppercase letters and it blends a little nicer.

 

[high impact]

Looks good and it's spelled correctly! lol

 

[wildhock]

Looks good. Gotta start somewhere!

 

[Digital_Dan]

Looks Okay, I agree with Mike, plus I would add a thin black outline around the text. This would break up the silver/Gray and make the letters pop!

looks good

thanks for the constructive pointers...I was so in a hurry.....looked ok on white...then when i put it on the window i saw alot of things to do different....but...it's learning....gotta jump in deep...LOL

Yeah, gotta have that pop.... looks nice though. Hell, I know a well-established sign shop around here that does GORGEOUS logos, but STILL does ancillary information in fades with non-contrasting outlines. If you're ten feet away you can't read any of it. Whatcha runnin (the one with wheels, not the printer)?

We are using Solutions opaque,clear,metalic,and puff all from Imprintables a.k.a. Stahls.....They gave us some sample with our machine...so we've been using that to make $$...figure it's the only frre money(LOL) we'll get from this machine.

Very impressive, VERY expensive to go that fast with that weight, any breakage issues?
