    It's OK. A few new features that are nice. RIP seems slow but may actually may be pretty good, but i have no experience with other RIP software to compare.

  2. Etched Vinyl with logos cut out

    If really want to know if a flat face will work in an existing cabinet. You have to factor in lamp space. Not just a general rule of thumb of so many inches away.

  17. Illustrator to Versaworks-CutContour Not Working!

    I've had the same problem. I am not sure I know the solution. Check your layers have a seperate layer for the cut contour. Be sure its not locked. Sometimes that works. But not always. It seems when ever I use transparency is when I have problems. I have CS2 on Windows. I am going to guess...
