Photo Shop

PhotoShop and cutters don't mix

 

You need to use a vector program if you are looking to do cutting. Search around on here, you will find a lot of information.

 

Is there a reason you're not designing in flexi? Especially for text only files, seems to me that would be one less step in the process.

 

You have the tools, just not using them like you should. Photoshop is good for print solutions, but will not work at all for cut vinyl. Since you have Flexi, that is where you should be creating the artwork for cutting.

Ok you need a program like illustrator or corel to create vectors, or the free one which is inkscape. or simply design it in Flexi.

Start off doing simple stuff like a square, or a circle, then try doing text making sure you convert the text to outlines. and you should be good to go.
