    Titan 2 not cutting correctly

    Unfortunately, we have not received any new information about a possible Mac version, we will likely need to wait for another announcement directly from them.

    Titan 2 not cutting correctly

    It doesn't look like SCALPRO has the ability to export files as .eps, but it does have the ability to export them as .svg, which is what I'd recommend, since it is also widely used. I agree that it is definitely a good practice to keep files in a format that can be used in a wide variety of programs, in case you ever want to cut it or edit it in a program other than the one you made it in originally.

    new prismcut plotter announced by uscutter

    The PrismCut is packaged with a 15" x 15" carrier sheet, but we sell larger carrier sheets that will work with the PrismCut if you need more room to work with. There aren't any hard limitations coded into the PrismCut that would prevent you from etching something anywhere the blade can reach, but practicality may be more of a factor here than it would be with Oracal 651. I expect that we will have more information about etching soon.

    We have been doing a lot of testing with the PrismCut and getting used to how it works, but we have only recently got our hands on the etching tool. Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to provide more specifics on the materials and settings we recommend for use with the etching tool, but we are looking forward to releasing more details after further testing. As for the WiFi connectivity, I have experimented with that to see if I could find some limitations, and I found it to be stable and reliable in my testing. When setting up the PrismCut for WiFi, you connect it to your router as you would a phone or other internet enabled device, by selecting the network SSID and entering the password for your network. Once the PrismCut and your computer are on the same network, it should be as simple as setting it up in VinylMaster with the PrismCut's IP address, and as long as the PrismCut or the computer doesn't leave the range of the router, it doesn't seem like there should be an issue. There was one WiFi quirk we did encounter during our testing, though. We were sending jobs over the network, and suddenly, the PrismCut wasn't responding anymore. After we changed the IP address on the cutter and updated it in VinylMaster, it started working again, and we had a little mystery on our hands. That is, until one of our sales guys from the other end of building walked in on our meeting and asked what we were sending to the PrismCut that he had just hooked up on his desk. Every PrismCut comes with the same default, static IP address, and it turns out that he connected it to the network using that address, and it was poaching our jobs, because we were still using the default as well. Lesson learned, if you plan to have multiple PrismCuts on your network, make sure to change the static IPs to avoid wasting vinyl.

    Since it is not a flatbed cutter, that does present a challenge for etching, but the PrismCut is definitely capable of etching. Every PrismCut comes with a carrier sheet (aka cutting mat) that you can fix materials to when feeding them through the cutter. The adhesive on the carrier sheet alone likely won't be strong enough to hold something you may want to etch, but if you tape the item to the mat, you can be sure that the mat will hold the item securely enough to finish etching successfully and accurately. As for the shavings, they should just fall onto and stick on the carrier sheet for collection, or at worse, fall off of the cutter onto the table or floor. I hope that helps! Let me know if your inquiring minds have any other questions for me.
