I am coming from using a cricut and design space which is SO easy and a no brainier. MY husband suprised me with a Titan 2 yesterday and the MasterVinyl Cut V4.0 is HORRIBLE! I hate it! I dont have the heart to tell him. SO I am turning to y'all! I have been told to look at Sure Cuts A Lot. What program do y'all use? I HAVE to be able to pull images from the internet. I do decals, Tshirts and personal gifts. So people will email me pics or I need to be able to search the web and bring them in. The version I have of VMC I for the life of me cant figure out! I can do simple things with 1 color and no back ground "noise" but i cant seem to erase or weld 2 different things together. Again, cricut is SOOOOO easy I wish I could design there then cut with the Titan but this isnt possible. HELP!!!

I have Sure Cuts a Lot. It works well but you can't confuse it by trying to use multiple objects in your design. Sometimes combining all the elements of a design down to a single vector object that it can work with can be a little challenging.

But can you pull images from the internet and remove stuff from it?

 

[Ripcord]

Not raster images. It works with vector graphics. I send the files to the cutter as SVGs

 

[Ripcord]

I've never tried actually designing something with SCAL. I prefer to do all the work in Corel Draw and export the files...

 

[into the T]

you should do all your graphics work in a separate program,
and then bring your final design into the cutting program

if you can export to pdf or svg from cricut software,
then you should be able to import your designs into your master vinylcut
ie do all your designing in your comfortable cricut space and simply import into mvc for final cut

or look at make the cut

I don't need to print though, do I have to print then cut? I need to be able to cut 651 vinyl and HTV, so no printing for me.

I can't save it to my desk top though, do you know away around it, maybe?

never used cricut, but i set up an acct there and played around
there is no way of extracting the actual vector file

that leaves you with importing a raster image of your vector and re-vectorizing in your cutting program
(here is a video for that process using make the cut, but it should be similar for mvc)

or simply download a vector program and make your designs there and then import into mvc
inkscape and gravit are free
but that cricut design space was really basic, so you may want something like this

Perfect!!! You might just be my life saver! Yes cricut is very dumby proof. I hate the learning curve on something new and don't really have time to play with it!

Into the T....I could kiss you right now!!! hahaha that video worked perfect and the MTC will work perfect for me too and seems so user friendly!!! I cant thank you enough!!!
