Difference In Cutting Fonts And Vectored Bitmaps


Recommended Posts

I have been doing a bunch of lettering jobs using standard issue fonts since i got my machine set up a month ago(master xy300p). I had a request for a fly fishing fly logo and was given the artwork in a bitmap. I plugged it into winpc( i know, not the best program) and vectored and simplified it so it would cut. I am cutting on black calendered vinyl. Leaving the settings of the machine the same as when I cut the lettering(600mms and 100g) the logo didn't cut all the way through the vinyl. The same setting and same vinyl cut fonts perfect. Is there something that I have missed when vectorizing the bitmap that would make it not cut as deep? I adjusted the speed to 300mms and upped the pressure to 150 with better results, but still not perfect. Some one told me that thier machine cut calendered vinyl with like 15g force not 100. I also have corel 9 if you all think I would have better luck vectorizing from there. Thanks for the thoughts.
