Hi all
I am new to this and using Vinyl heatpress to personalise bags.
I have a pixmax plotter cutter which I have been told is ONLY compatible with either Signcut Pro or Flexistarter.
I am trying out Signcut pro but I am annoyed that I have to create the text vector graphic file in another programme and then import to Signcut Pro
So I have a few basic questions and one a little more complicated, Please would be great if you can answer what you can
1) Signcut or Flexistarter? Can you design and cut in Flexistarter?
2) I am using Inkscape for now, but is Illustrator easier/better?
3) To create my vector file for Sign cut I take the following steps
a) Type name to be cut in Vinyl in Inkscape
b) Path > Object to Path
c) Save
d) Open file in Signcut
e) Cut
The problem I have is that the font I am using is a joined up writing font, when this is cut out in the plotter cutter when one letter is joined to another it creates weeding lines around each individual letter, however, where it is joined up I want that to remain a fluid continuous flow.
As I am doing lots of different names, does anyone know how I can change this? Is it in Inkscape or Sign cut?
Thanks,
Reena
