Problems using SCAL extension in Inkscape

Post by Rubiconlwb »

I am very new to all of this vinyl cutting experience so please bear with me. I created a graphic in MS paint and saved it as a .png I then loaded that into Inkscape and created a decal with an oval border around it. I then utilized the SCAL extension. This worked OK in that it ran SCAL with the decal shown. The problem comes in when I try to cut the decal. If I look at preview, it looks fine. When I go to the 'Cut' screen, the graphic is missing. The oval is shown but the graphic is not there. I even tried cutting thinking maybe it would cut OK since preview looked OK but all it cut was the oval and not the graphic. Any ideas or suggestions? I thought I would try to create the same decal in SCAL but could not load the graphic since it was in a format other than .scal I'm stumped!
