Every now and then when I am working in corel with line tracing a bitmap.. I get these stupid little nodes all over my design... (They are the selected and show in orange in the middle of the black letter)

Is there a way to get rid of them in my art without having to go in and delete every one of them?

Normally for screen printing I wouldn't care about them, they dont effect anything.. but they create a huge problem when cutting out the design...

Any help would be awesome.

Scott someone else may have an idea with Corel but I've tried everything including reducing nodes and a ton of the other options. I find that Inkscape gives a much cleaner trace. Then I save as a eps and open in Corel and all the extra nodes are not there.

Hey Sean, long time no talk, How are things going with you?
I saw you got your auto press?

Yeah I have tried everything too.. I dont know what the deal is, I tried rebitmapping it and retracing the image, but still no luck.

I just popped it into Illy and worked it and it worked out much better.

I bought a old Lawson Vector. Its a 1995. I wanted to get a low cost auto plus it had to fit in my small shop. The heads lift instead of the table. Funny I have had a few tell me that its too old and outdated. A few of the new press lift the head as its suppose to be better. this thing seems to hold registration very well. It has a very similar registration gate to the M&R sidewinder

You should try Inkscape. For simple stuff it gives low node counts and IMO I think it give better results then Corel or Illy for simple to medium detail graphics. I am going to try and do a video next week. When I started out 7 years ago doing vinyl Corel and Illy totally sucked for tracing. Inkscape was the only program I could get to do a decent trace. Things are different today and both have improved their tcacing function. Corel does work better if you reduce the nodes in the options

Thats cool, Im glad you got one, are you happy with it?

Ill download it and play around with it.. The Illy traced on turned out real well, it was just cut and applied
