Need help with image tracing

Post by Msuprem3 »

Hey guys,
I'm new to vinyl cutting and I've been trying to trace a complicated image on sure cuts a lot but then when I press cut the vinyl comes out clumped up some pieces been cut off, I'm guessing the blade went back and "traced" over it again, I dunno. Please give me some pointers guy =p

P.s this is an example of the image I've been trying to trace:

That is a very detailed image to cut. Make sure you use the highest blade setting and the lightest pressure that will still cut the vinyl, but not lift of clump your vinyl.

I would also say that you should find a bigger and better quality image. If you can't see the detail to trace by hand then the computer won't either. You may want to go to where that watermarked image comes from and just purchase it as they will probably have the quality of image you need for a good trace.
