i was using sign blazer. i found it hard to vectorize the objects. but it was said above i should do that in inkscape . makes sense. i was having trouble bringing those files into sign blazer. its import options are limited. i have down loaded sign labs free trial it seems really god but 500 bucks. i am undecided on that option. mz skeeter is correct that my machine will not work with the newer cutter software offered by graphtec. i cant even get my windows ten machine to upload the new drivers to the cutter. it wont send it. so sign lab works pretty good so far. but i might try to use inkscape more and see if i can FIX the clip art that way and see if it will go into sign blazer. i mean it has to work because darcshadow said so. i got a lot to learn. thank you all for your kindness and helpful responses. mighty big of everyone to take the time to help. i cant stress it enough.

ok that very helpful. i will try that. i was getting images off the net and saving them then tring to load them into sign blazer. i could not do most of them howerver sign lab can...but its five hundred bucks lol

ok ill ask them

if i buy a full version of sign lab will it expire? i don,t like the idea of the subscription based systems. but for 500 bucks i don't want to have to pay that again if it goes stale in a year also whats best to use. tried sign blazer. great program but does not seem to import many different type of files.newbie here graphtec 7000-75

ahhhh i did not know this. ill check

i have installed the controller...it works but wont run the cut off function...when i try it starts to run back and forth like crazy then says cut off error. i have tried to install the firmware but it wont run the set up exe file correctly. it is supposed to pull up a menu to choose the firmware file but it opens a printer like page. the file is not there to send to the plotter/cutter i am slowly getting there folks thanks once again

i got it to download now thanks folks

i have avast anti virus... it says its blocking the site because its on a black list? wth?

i get the screen now but signblazer is not listed

ok the drivers.....i will try to re install them now.

ok must be my chrome blocking it. thanks.

i have figured out the blade depth and pressure i got it cutting good now. thanks for your help. i will try to figure out the cross cutter. the graphtec america site has a cutting program that will not work on my machine i tried. its for a mk version that wont communicate when i try.

goes to a page that says its not there

i see most of the sign blazer down load links no longer exist. does anyone have a version that works with no nag screens. if so can you post a link. i tried looking at all the previous links.

thank you very much for the information and your patience. this has been all very helpful i have been getting it to work sort of but many weird things keep happening. i am working thru it and learning a ton as i go, ill let you great people know if i have any more troubles. i am reading everything i can. its alot. seems my older cutter is somewhat unsupported but work in hpgl mode. i would like to get it to work in g mode but i cant figure it out at this time. would be neat to use the cross cutter for when the job is finished.
