I use Corel Draw and it has a contour command and you can use that to add a border of any width you want, internal or external.

Are those Avery White paint mask, Flexisign or OraMask like the window mask given with the unpainted bodies? Whats the stuff the paint mask companies use thats typically yellow? The yellow stuff's are pretty strecthy and has adhered pretty well. Though i've has the white window film seal it's edges a bbit better. Is there somethings thats prefered or will work better than the other? The white Avery mask perhaps?
What programs are you guys using? For cutting and designing? I've got a little Craft Robo number and i've been having fun with it But that included Robo Master program is just too limited in what it will let me do ! But I can't seem to be able to cut out of anything else I've down loaded Inkscape from the Graphtec site, but haven't been able to cut from there, or transfer work i've done in Inkscape to this Robo Master cutting program. Is there another driver or something I need to work in Inkscape and cut out of there???

I've been looking at getting a vinyl cutter for quiet awhile really. But till I came across this thread had no idea what I needed at all
To start with the only real thing I'd like to do is boardered window mask's ,I hope that's a simple enough project to start with ??
The craft robo is cretainly affordable enough, But reading the thread I believe the software is somewhat limited for our needs ?
what other software would you guys consider as "needed" ?
Also can anyone tell me does the robo cut though the vinyl only leaving the backing paper intact like XXXmains mask sheets or would it cut though both ??
Anyone able to suggest somewhere in the UK supplying suitable vinyl ??
I can't find alot of info on any of this really ................ complete noob to the whole process, Is it easy enough to pick up and start creating your own stuff ??
Can the robo take vinyl in roll format or sheets only ?
Don't suspose anyone fancies trying to write a step by step guide of how you'd creat something simple like the boardered window mask I'm wanting, So I can gauge how complicated this sort of thing is or isn't.
Thanks for any help guys

I have a problem with my Craft Robo, even though I have it set up for 1 pass when I cut it goes back over for another pass, this causes the mask to peel up and screws the whole thing up. Why would it make a second pass? Should I uninstall the software and reinstall?
