    Have been running version 12 for quite awhile.

  10. Creating Bleed in Supplied Illustrator Files for Decals

    We are supplied Illustrator files from some marketing companies that we make decals for. Just curious if someone has an easy way of creating bleed.

    I have a Graphtec FC7000 and just purchased a new CE6000 48" cutter. Is there a way of putting these on my network instead of keeping them hooked to the computer by USB? My issue is that we cut most everything we do by cutting master software directly from our Macs which works great, but...
