    Hi,

    Would you be able to confirm what the cutter is you have and does it have any form of either optical or laser for contour cutting?

    I know that Flex allows contour cutting, however I have no idea whether your cutter has the contour cutting feature.

    Assuming it does then theoretically you could produce a contour to cut around the letters, but again how much of this can be automated and how much requires you to draw the contour to cut I am not aware.

    As I cannot offer any more wisdom than this I will leave it for an expert to come up with the answer and good luck in getting your solution.

    Hi. You dont need laser pointer or optical eye to contoir cut. And not every flexi can cotour cut. I think this feature is.from flexi starter 10. I think in previous ones you.was not able to.do that.
    Any way. If this graphic is a.vector.file then there should not be any problem to cut aroind it :-)

    Well I was working on the fact that it appeared to be a jpg created with I imagine an online cool text generator lol

    Having struggled just to assemble a stand and mount a cutter on it from the chinglish instructions I have as yet not had the courage to attach it to the pc yet. Although I am looking forward with trepidation to trying signcut, flexi and signblazer out to see what works.
