If I design something for a cutter, say a three color racing logo, what do I need to be careful about?
People have mentioned reducing the nodes; making sure that script fonts are converted to curves, welded, cleaned up; not to use outlines (use contour instead); any color overlapping itself should be welded.
Guessing I need to set colors on individual layers for color seps so that I can send each color to the cutter separately.
What else? Is there a book or tutorial to help me adjust my thinking?
