When you print something normally, it goes back and forth and does it line after line after line. Vector file tell the machine "put your needle(or pin tip) down here, Then move it to the right this amount and back this amount and the same time etc etc to make a curve. So instead of going line by line, its a mechanical hand that literally draws or cuts the image. Architects use the same machine as me. You can interchange the end of the mechanical arm. I have blades to cut vinyl, fiberglass, or carbon fiber. I can change it out to match the'yre machine by putting little pens in it so instead of cutting, it will simply draw on large paper. Pm me exactly what you want. Or you know what? I'll post up all my gm stuff to help everyone out. I have 10's of thousands of logos and they're all copyrighted i own rights to them and im not making money off it anyway by posting it for you. Hope it helps you out. It may be a day or two before i can get to the shop!

Also, if theres a certain picture or something along those lines you want cut into vinyl, if you email it to me i can scan it and convert it into Vector format so you can have a sticker made. This wont work for stitches i dont think but they can scan it into theyre format the same way i can.

Thanks for explaining the Vector to me

BTW if you are able to send it to me can you put it in .dxf or .dwg format. Here is my email: torchd@comcast.net

I was wondering do you have the file of the image below? And do you have the file for the TRANS AM lettering?

He can do the same, but Alan is having a hard time getting the ''bird'' and ''TRANS AM"
