Graphtec for Dummies
Добавлен 28 янв 2016
I'm an avid photographer and t-shirt maker fluent in Photoshop but new to Illustrator and GRAPHTEC PRO STUDIO. My videos are of methods I've found and used in each of the programs to help other beginners such as myself. I don't claim to be an expert by any means and i'm sure there may be easier or faster ways to get thru some of the tasks i'm showing but these seemed to work for me. I'm calling it my own channel "GRAPHTEC FOR DUMMIES".I'm using a windows pc and will only be speaking of such, I imagine many of the processes are the same in a mac but I'm not sure either way. Please feel free to leave your own comments (positive or constructive only). If you have input or suggestions to my methods I'm all for hearing it, but anything rude or inappropriate will be deleted. Hope they help you, its taken me a lot of time and research to get thru it and I thought I would share. My cutter is a GRAPHTEC CE6000-40 a 15" cutter that I love and use mainly for vinyl and heat transfers for apparel.

Graphtec Pro Studio FONT VINYL cutting CE6000-40
Просмотров 14 тыс.6 лет назад
My first video ever using Graphtec pro studio creating a word and or font sending to a cutter in a 1 or 2 color path. This vid can be used for creating stickers as well. Please let me know what u think.. thanks for watching
using a ce5000-40, i have to position the head "outside" (below) the bottom right reg mark. normally people put it inside, but it won't work if i do that. no complaints really, it does work, just find it odd that it requires me to do it outside. any insight?
Told me exactly what I needed! Your the man!
Sorry dumb beginner question. You pulled in to image files. You would have to add registration marks and then print the file on a plotter or other printer. And then bring it back into your cutter to actually cut correct?
Do you have something that shows how to set cut order? Like left to right, or right to left, front to back or back to front?
i dont if that’s a setting that’s chooseable. sorry, u could try and email support.
Are you able to do a video on how to put a tail on a font and connect them?
What do u mean a tail? U can draw a rectangle across the whole bottom of it, select all and weld them together if that’s what u mean
Everytime I try the registration marks that close the scanner has trouble reading the marks and if it reads them it for some reason won’t cut parts of design cus it’s to close to the registration marks
sorry all, been away for a while.
I really wish you would do more videos. The videos you’ve done so far have been a great help to me. 😊
I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME MORE TO PUT OUT BUT THE COMPUTER I WAS USING WITH THE RECORDING SOFTWARE IS OUT OF COMMISSION. IRONICALLY I DON'T USE MY GRAPHTEC CUTTER TO MUCH ANYMORE BUT I DO USE THE PROGRAM ALL THE TIME! IM DOING STEEL MONOGRAMS FOR PLASMA CUTTING AND IT HAS REALLY SERVED ME WELL. I PROMISE TO GET SOMETHING ELSE OUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THNX FOR THE SUPPORT
there was no sound to this video
I CAN HEAR IT ON MY LAPTOP..
for dummies indeed i finally got it, thanks
IT IS PRETTY CONFUSING AT FIRST, BUT WITH ANY TECHNICAL SOFTWARE IT TAKES TIME. IM GETTING MORE AND MORE COMFORTABLE EVERY DAY
why can it be off scale on a graptech ce lite 50 machine ?
I DONT UNDERSTAND?
Is it possible to do my design in Photoshop and then send to Graphtec studio pro for cutting?
yes same process except bring in the photo as a png with everything already dropped out in lieu of creating the letter
Where or how do I get the contour function. In my Graphtec Studio, I DO NOT have it. I only have cut/plot!!
MAKE SURE YOUR PIECE IS SELECTED, ITS UNDER THE EFFECTS TAB
I gave the 3rd like this was well understood
Another great video straight to the point
I gave the 4th like! Another straight to the point video. Thanks again I’m going to this for Easter shirts. Text around a Golden egg
thanks for all of the positive feedback!
I’m doing multi layer right now as we speak. I can’t thank you enough. I been using lxi more often not even thinking about Corel draw
glad I could help
Graphtec for Dummies a very big help the best tutorial on this software. Straight to the point in 3 minutes. Well understood
Is there anyway we could add more fonts to graphtec studio

Dude! Your my hero! Ive had my graphtec for at least 6 months and I haven't been able to do anything but basic shapes and text! Thank you so much for creating these videos!!!
I HAVE REALLY LEARNED A LOT OVER THE LAST YEAR. HOPING TO PUT OUT SOME OTHER VIDEOS SOON
My graphtec not cutting the full text and weeding boarder whats the problem? Thanks
I don’t understand your question
Hey thanks for the reply. When I type a small text about 11 inches by 5 the design cut out perfect with the weed boarder around it but when I try to cut a bigger text like 15 inches or higher it don’t cut off half the Text
try starting an entirely different NEW file and only try text the first time out. sounds like u have baggage on the board
Yea that’s what I did but it’s doing the same thing. I’m waiting for tech support to call me. When I cut with decal Vinly I don’t have a issue but heat transfer vinyl don’t show the full image
@@dgstudioLLC makes me wonder what your cut preview looks like... when your in your cut view is your design all on one page.. make sure your "media size" on screen matches the media size your using (automatic ) and your design on screen fits into the white box..
Man im so glad i found this video. I just got my graphtec ce 6000 with lxi expert 12 and i was having a hard time finding out how to do multi layer cutting and you showed me in 2 minutes. Bravo to you! Tech support at sign warehouse some shit
Thanks glad it helped
Hi, how do I get the 'design central' box to the right open if it's not showing on my software? Thank you
I have all my computers taken down right now as we are repainting so i can’t check 1st hand, but try the window tab up top and look for design central.
click on view, scroll down click on design central!
can someone help me to master the cutter recognizing countour cuts
What exact part wasn’t working for you, or I should say which part did u get stuck at?
Griselle Garcia did u follow the tutorial?
I'm having trouble with contour cut
after u choose contour cut and size YOU MUST click green checkmark to apply or nothing will change
Hey! Moron here! I just got my CE6000-60 Plus yesterday and I'm trying to get everything I had on my cricut moved over and its being a royal pain in the ass. When I apply colors to my layers, the entire rectangle gets filled instead of just the design. Its driving me crazy.
try completely separating the layers on different parts of the screen, change the colors then layer them on top of each other as if it were a single image. lmk if that helps.
Man we need you. You can't start a graphtec for dummies channel and don't post 😭. You are the only one on this subject breaking this down literally for beginners. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a break down of what the hell is all the options on the printing section is for.
A REEson 2 Create I don’t use all to much with my cutter, I’ve been recently using it to do metal cutouts with a plasma table. But usually do the same technics just with different fonts or layouts. There is alotttt to the software and up to the challenge of looking in to something that someone else is trying to do. Send me info and I will give it a shot.
cant hear you
Thank you !!!! You help me way more than the Graphtec tech support :)
Thank you, glad to know I’m able to help. Doing my own research with other projects that I need help on. Take care
@@graphtecfordummies3129 i need help!!! i cant get the registration marks to cut for transfer paper
Thanks, very helpful video. If I was using a piece of 8.5x11 on a carrier sheet what media size would you input when sending to cut?
typically u would want to set the media as the same size of actual cuttable vinyl your using. this way when u lay it out, move or rescale it just before u hit send u know how its going to look. whatever u do, make sure u setup the media on the carrier in the right corner. but technically its no different then using a roll of vinyl.
Hi ، I have problem when I wed it cut the near side to the sensor it wed perfect but after that it goes really bad like it didn't cut . Please help 😭
Are you using straight vinyl or are using it on a mat? Make sure the edges of your media are over the blue guides on the cutter.
or use the carrier, don't forget to do a couple of test cuts before wasting actual design
Hey, can I use graphtec studio with the CE6000-40 PLUS? or Do I have to use graphtec studio pro?
As long as your software recognizes the ce6000 it doesn’t matter which program you use.
ok. thank you for responding. how do I get the cutter to show up in the cutters section in the studio? the usb is plugged in and the cutter is turned on but it says nothing is connected.
Did u load the drivers? Lmk if u got it, check original disc. If not lmk I’ll see if I can find them
Sorry about that, didn’t realize mic was down til later
Sound to low!
Edward Vrolix what’s your email address need help with my graphtec studio
Thanks for the video, I have just un-boxed my new Graphtec Lite 50 after using a 3000 version. This software is a lot more advanced and your video helped me, are you doing any more??
Don’t get to use it as much as ide like but if there’s something u need help trying I’m up for a challenge
My ce 6000 don't trace gold or yellow what's the cause of that
Thinking either u didn’t click the check mark after selecting the contour cut or outline or not selecting the cutter color in the options box when cutting
Have to always remember that when using design central for borders, outlines etc that YOU HAVE TO CLICK CHECKMARK to apply or nothing will change.
What about making the border around the cut? I have just recently started to use this program at work, but whenever i set the printing and the cutter starts cutting it cut everything the way it should except a square around the project
need to make sure u delete the background after u import the pics
I figured it out.. and it had nothing to do with what you wrote in the reply.. it was just a simple check mark i had to turn on.. u know where you can add in lines for the cutter to cut to make the peeling a bit easier
I misinterpreted your question, if u import a jpeg and a png file u will have a background that would need to be eliminated. If your referring to a weeding box that’s different altogether. I’ve found that becomes a hassle unless u have a separate carrier unless u do a perforated cut which in my opinion is the best overall choice
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I have been looking for HOURS to understand how to do this!!! PLEASE Keep making videos on Pro studio!!!!
Don’t get on too much anymore, but if there’s something specific you’d like me to try and figure out I’m up for the challenge.
thank you so much!! this is the first video that is helping me. I've tried so many and none covered these areas. Thank you and please keep teaching.
I have a great video i need to put up about fonts, just waiting for a quiet house to be able to record it.
yes, if u change the color of the outline or the contour cut, when u go to cut u can choose which color you want to cut or select all and cut them during the same pass. unless I'm not understanding your question correctly?
Is there a way in graphtec pro studio to add separate files to the cut/ plot screen? I am looking to arrange and cut different shapes I have saved under different files and also maximize the media. Thanks
Yes, if you make the items different colors when u plot you can select which color u want to cut. The color of the vinyl doesnt matter its the color of the item or stroke.
you can also use the PLACE from the file tab to select a different image to add to your current design
Thanks so much, this is the first video with master 4, and you help me very much, how can I follow more videos like this, I need to learn more about this, my name is Ismael.
Im just a beginner myself, but as i get thru new tasks i will post a short video on it. The videos i have done so far appear to solve most simple standard vinyl cuts. Glad it helped u, ihave 3 or 4 others done as well.
