How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
What files can you import with signblazer??
I am trying to do a gift for my dad for Christmas
I have it all done in .ai but cant get it to import into signblazer Can anyone help??
please
I found that JPG and GIF are the easiest to import and convert in SignBlazer. Do you know the steps to convert? Let me know and I'll send them if you don't. It really stinks that there's no customer service for SB!
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
You need to vectorize it, which I believe signblazer will do. You actually would probably be better off just vectorizing the cowboy and horses and recreating the text. go to www.dafont.com and see if you can find the same text and just recreate it.
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
Thank you both - I did get it to vectorize and saved as version 8 as i read to do and it opened - yay - but i changed the size to a 10x6 setting when it goes to cut but All I get is it cutting little jagges dots - tiny
it shows two color outlines in the signblazer as it cuts (tracing the cuts as they should happen) some are red and some are blue but final thing is small and just a bunch of little dots and jagged lines - less than 3"
I tried to do a stick figure family - it cut it out but chopped off the end of the guy like it was out of room on the vinyl - but I have a big sheet in.
Any ideas??
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
Not in front of the track but up on it.If this does not help, i use sign blazer, i will try to help as well
David most diffently knows what he is doing also
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
YAH!!! Its working now - I just cut a small version.
Question - since I am obviously new at signblazer can you explane why it would not cut the end of the stick figures when there was plenty enough room on the work space setup?
Is tyhgere a guide somewhere I can read? I am importing, setting the workspace and then sizing to fit into the workspace and then sending to cut. there was at least 5 " difference in the width I used and the ammt of vinyl but it still chopped off his arm and part of his leg.
Thanks a bunch - I just got setup on vista and have signcut but it wont send to the cutter but signblazer will so I am just trying to learn.
Now I can give dad his gift! Thanks!!
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
I think your carriage was off,, also if using usb,, every time i turn my cutter on, i check the carraiage, wipe down the cutter with softner sheets, on the metal to keep the static off,
and once in sign blazer go to the setup and make sure it is on the right cuttin feature for me,
also if it does not cut, unplug usb and plug back in, it makes the cutter talk to sign blazer,,
Merry christmas to you dad, lol
Re: How to convert file so it is not bitmap? for signblazer
Thank you - He'll love it!
I am using the serial cable. I will try the softner sheets. Haven't used my cutter in a few months & then with the new program I was stressing
All better now - Guess I better make a few things to get back in the swing of cuttin things.
Thanks again!
