How do I make this vinyl ready?
I have been trying to figure out how to edit this image so that it is vinyl ready (black and white). I want to know how to flatten the image so that nothing behind what is seen will be cut. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: How do I make this vinyl ready? You have to ungroup and break apart the vectors then select overlaping pieces and join them using the weld tool.

Re: How do I make this vinyl ready? Thanks... the image was good enough to turn into a bitmap and then used CorelTrace. But thanks again I will use that info in the future.

Re: How do I make this vinyl ready? That's a good way with black & white line art... not so good when there are colors and gradients!

Re: How do I make this vinyl ready? Why is it that when I go to weld two things together they converge to one color the same as when I combine?
