Greetings everyone, I just signed up on this forum after scouring the web for days without any solution. I really hope you guys would help me get my cutting plotter up and running. So where do i start? I just got the Seiki 720t cutting plotter and I have not been able to cut anything with it (apart from the triangle and square of course). The small disc that came with the plotter got broken, so i had to look for other alternatives which have been frustrating. The Seiki forum is not updated and there is nothing useful there. I downloaded their utility tool - useless. I have a HP Probbok 4530s and i run windows 8.1PRO on a 64bit system. I can't find the driver for the plotter, I have installed and uninstalled several. Please i really need help with this. This is the third forum i have signed up with. What i need: compatible driver for the seiki 720t Thanks

Sure. I'll try it out. What about prewashing t-shirts before heat pressing?

sorry, that wasn't what I meant. Let's say I print a picture of someone's on a transfer paper; can I weed (trace) with my seiki cutter. Please see the image attached. Can I cut the image (just like letters)?

One more question. So I want to heatpress two tees; is it necessary to prewash them before I heatpress. The tees are white and 100% cotton, plus they are not really neat nor dirty. I'd say they're dusty.

Y'all have been really helpful. This forum is by far the best I've come across. I know this might not be possible, but I'd still ask though... Is there a way to cut out an image after printing on a transfer paper? I can't think of using a hand cutter or a scissors as it won't give me precision.

It Worked! I installed the SignBlazer Software, and it worked. The weeding feature is awesome, and the font styles are great too. Thanks again.

The store (branding materials) closest to me does not have it. I would need to make a short trip to get it. But do you think my idea would work?

Alright, thanks. I have some packages installed, yet I get same error message. I will see if I will take it to a professional. Thanks though

Thanks. I'll try out the inkscape while I try to get the incut installed.

Thanks for this. I'll check it out, cutting with inkscape. Again, I tried installing the Python 3 (since I need it for the incut) but it seems I have a .NET Framework issue. Can you help with this?

Hi guys, hope you've all been good. So I want to brand a 100% cotto T-shirt. I want to put a name on the back of the shirt. So I'm thinking of using a Laser 1 Opaque transfer paper for this. I'd love to know if I cab use a transfer paper for putting names on a shirt after the plotter cuts it out. Again, I want to heat press a white T-shirt, so I'm thinking of printing an all black on the transfer paper, so I'll cut out black letters. Lastly, if I print on white t-shirts with the laser 1 opaque, do I still need to print white color on it before cutting out the letters or should I just cut it out (since the color of the paper is white). Thank you for giving me your time. Grateful as always.

Lol...I did not see that. I guess you just saved me 800+ MB of data.

I checked the inkcut, and it is quite complicated. I would need to download Python software before i'd be able to run it.

Thanks you for your time too. I'd be grateful if you'd also follow this thread. Will share my challenges here.

Do share your thoughts about the link i sent

I found this Flexistarter 12 link. It says permanent lifetime access, for no cash. I will try downloading it later and see. You have really been helpful...thank you very much. PS: From what i have seen about this seiki cutter, i will need assistance with other things when i get a sign cut software and start cutting. Thanks again

I see...... i will check if i can import designs to the Artcut software. Which of the signmaking software do you use? Or do you use the Flexistarter for designs too?

The plotter came with ArtCut software - 2009. It is very outdated and has limited functions.

Does that mean i might not have any luck with the software even if i get it? Which would you recommend?

Hi, I had hit the submit button before i saw yours. I searched this forum for links to the software, but all links are dead. I'm wondering if you could help with a genuine link to the SignBlazer. Thanks

Did not know that. Do you know of any FREE Cutting Software I can download? Or a signmaking software that can also cut?

I just installed a GraphTec driver, after installing the driver, I clicked the "print test page"; the plotter responded.

I am using InkScape (or do i need to download a different sofware for cutting?) I understand the cutter is not a plotter; i was just trying to explain the problem i am facing. I installed the usb drivers to com8. Thank you for your assistance

Thank you for the prompt reply... I have installed the USB drivers, but i have not been able to get the plotter driver. After designing, the plotter or compatible cutter/printer does not show up to cut out the design. I have downloaded different kinds of stuff, i even downloaded ReaderDriver Plus, which corrupted my BOOT file. In T-Shirt forums, someone said SignLab comes with the driver, but i can't afford that.
