Speed Sticker thread got me playing around..

I bought a new vinyl cutter for here at the house, got to playing with it after reading the Speed Sticker Post, came up with this, took all of 15 seconds to cut it, I love this new to me Summa Cutter!!

Gonna work on some more, I am willing to take any Ideas ya'll may have, this was the very first thing I had cut with the Summa cutter, it's about 10" X 10" but as I said it was basically a test cut.

 

I make part of my living with a Summa cutter....What program you using to make that and also to cut it?

 

FlexiSignPro 8, had 7.5 but it crashed and wiped out the profiles, bought the machine yesterday and put Flexi on my P.C. this morning.

 

Yep I have tons of vector art, everything from airplaines to zebras, tribal art, flames, automotive outlines, pretty much everything, I had one of the chinese cutters but it finally gave up after three years and I found the Summa in a pawn shop and bought it.

 

I am still using an old us cutter mh871 but it has paid for itself in a major way over the years. Still using outdated signblazer + corel draw. Can make some really neat stuff with it.

 

Can you do anything from a scan or a picture? I've got an idea of what I want to go on the back glass of the Bubba's Dream truck, a image of his pic, with writing haloed over the top, and then under the pic. I've never drawn it out, just got the visual in my head. And it's on a sliding back glass, so I may have to change my idea to make it readable.....

 

I have in the past done things from pics and scans, pretty much cutting vinyl, thinking about a printer for vinyl but they are costly, that sounds like what you may be wanting, printed vinyl.

I'm still goofing around with this cutter and had a little extra time to kill so I made a tag for the Green Grabber......

To be fair you can modify a home ink jet to print on vinyl.

I like Flexi it's awesome. CutMaster is good too. You don't have to print on vinyl to do cool things just layers.

I've taken pictures and scans and turned them into layered designs for cut vinyl lots of times. You just can't get too highly detailed. It also gives an awesome 3d effect if you do it right.
