First break apart the image. The solid black areas...left click the X color (no color), right click the red color (any color will work, just so your cutter can tell them apart). Do the same with the type. All of the white areas, just leave alone, they should be fine. A little overlap will occur, that is fine. Export the file out of corel, most likely as a tiff, using whatever type your sign software can import.

 

Hey thanks for the quick response. Im proper done in with all this and I'm sure I'm making mote complicated than it needs to be.

With regards to the black images ... There is probably about 150 different fill ins of black and lines on the orginal corel file. There are also lots of white fill ins to sharpen edges up.

Is there a quick way of selecting all the black in Corel? As its going to take a very long time and also when I outline all the black ... its not going to be one outline ... there will be about 150.

I was wondering if I saved the file and maybe exported it that I could separate the black and the white after?

You also mention the white will be ok.. I thought I had to separate the white for cutting and pressing on top of the black...

Again sorry if this is straight forward - I'm probably complicating it more than I have to.

IF that is the case convert it to a bitmap and retrace it will be quick. For this desgin you should only have one black shape for the cat and one for each of the letters. The white on the cat should be white shapes that lay over the black.

 

Thanks so convert to bitmap... what retrace option should I select and does it make the cat black?

Do you mean re do the whole thing? Sort of makes sense actually!

 

Also when I converted to bitmap (earlier) .. the edges went a little fuzzy is this common?

 

Hey so I have worked it out - thanks again everyone...

I have another question .. with regards to the 2 colour. If I cut these the same when I over lay the back on the white its quite a tight fit in terms of the lines say on the hands and stuff.

Is there a method to bulk up the lines a little so you dont see any material popping through if meaning, when the blacks on top of the white it fits tight on the T shirt ... I need to bulk the lines up a little...

 

Put an outline around your black (behind), convert outline to object, then weld objects together
