    What if I wanted to make one vector with cut lines, save as eps file, to later print stickers in several different sizes from said file? How do I keep the offset from changing as I increase or decrease artwork size? Because if I change from a 3 inch sticker to a 5 inch sticker my offset also increases. Or do you suggest making a separate file for each sticker size?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • @MEILITARK

    I'm not able to smooth out the line at the end. If I delete the anchor points, it leaves open spaces in those places. Selecting one point and hitting delete, deletes the whole outline.

      Other than that, the color of the cut line doesn't matter.
