Default Cutting Text

Hey all,

First off, thanks to all who share their wealth of knowledge. I've been helped many times without having to post, just a little searching.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find an answer to the following issue at hand. When I save my work as a plt, import into the infamous Artcut software, the nodes in the text are very prominent and minimal. Any letter with a curve, like S, looks very boxy. Not very smooth at all.

Should I be converting text to artistic within corel x3? Then exporting? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Murph

converting your text to curves in corel may help - i'm not familiar with artcut, so i don't know where the problem is. but you can also just cut from corel if there are printer drivers available for your plotter.
