Congrats that looks great! I am sooooo jealous, still trying to get my first cuts to really work. What program did you use for the PnC - Inkscape; MTC; SCAL?

Great job. I have some Dustin Pike images. I still haven't done PNC with any machine other that the Silhouette SD, which does a great job, just limited to size. Actually, my Silhouette is acting much better lately (I was having some paper sticking problems before); and I think it's because the big cat is sitting so close to it. LOL. I really need to learn more options.

Thanks everyone! Yes it is VEEEEEERRRRYYY exciting to finally have it set up and functioning! I have had my ups and downs with my cat (entirely user errors) and couldn't even begin to try and set up the PnC! I was REALLY regreting not buying the sign pro software when I bought my machine and really felt that there might not be more updates for the black cat with mtc, so I decided to take the bull by the horns, before shelling out anymore money or waiting for the new {{{{BLACK CAT SOFTWARE}}}}<---sooooooo excited, and kept printing and cutting. Afters hours and the use of my dh "math" brain, we were able to get it spot on! I could still kick myself :banghead: for not getting the software in the beginning but, oh well!

MendyRap, I have the software and have to try and set mine up. I'm afraid I will have to have help. So glad yours is working!

Thanks Retta! You really do need to set yours up, its not as hard as you think and everyone here is soooooo generous with their time! I just started from just changing the + and - settings and leaving the numbers themselves alone (if that makes any sense). That's how I made my first cut and then just kept changing the numbers and recutting without removing the matt. That way I could compare the multiple cuts! It worked for me! Good luck!
