Hello eveyone, I have been reading the topics about the CDx3 and the GX24 cutter and I am a little confused on the process I am new to the Heat Printing world. I would like to know if you can take your created design from the CDx3 and send it straight to your cutter and then heat press it and your done....is there anyone out there who can clear this up for us all...my reason for clarity is that i'm thinking hard on purchasing the Gx24 cutter..just trying 2 get a good understanding.....thanks

Hi Marc, I just bought the GX-24 and love it. I am still working on trying to get my designs from corel to the cutter software studio. I can't really help you much with this at present but someone one here will , or call Imprintables Warehouse and they will answer any and all questions you have about this issue. Ken

Hi Marc.
Yes, you can certainly do that. Once the GX-24 cutter drivers are installed, you can send your design to print from within CorelDraw X3 and select the cutter from the printer list box.

Ken, make sure your drawings are either vector or jpg before sending them to the CutStudio.
Glad to hear you're enjoying your cutter. That thing really is addictive, isn't it!
[quote=mzmadmax;222826]This is not really a plug-in or CutStudio issue. This happens because you are sending the text over to CutStudio as text and not as curves. If you want to know what the cutter will cut beforehand, on the Corel X3 menu, go to View | Wireframe. If you see the lines overlapping, that is how it will cut.
To avoid the problem that you have described, do the following quick steps before sending the text to CutStudio (or other software or directly to the cutter):
1. Select the text
2. On the menu, select Arrange | Shaping | Weld
(This will convert artistic text to an object and combine the intersecting objects into a single curve object with a single outline.)
Now you can use the plug-in to send it to CutStudio and cut as usual.
This text conversion will probably take you all of 10 seconds to do; even less if you use the short-cut keys.
Not trying to hog your post Marc, but this is related. I am having no problem with text from corel to the Cut Studio, but when I try to import a jpg. to CutStudio and cut out the contour lines using transfer paper and the optic eye feature ,the cutter will cut the outline with not problem, butttt! The outline is not on the image exactly as it should be, its about 3/16" off of the image. I have followed the instructions an the video from Imprintables Whse. to the letter but get same results using different graphics. I faxed a copy of an image to Imprintables but have not gotton a reply. Any suggestions? Ken

Clipart is usually very specific to the industry, so sign stuff doesn't work well for t-shirts and what not AND there is a big learning curve in adapting it.
signwarehouse.com has viynl's and heat press materials as well. Just google sign supplies or vinyl and you'll find some suppliers closer by as well. I know there is one in Grand Rapids MI, but I don't use them since they seem to me to be a bit more expensive.
