I design on my laptop, e-mail to myself, then cut on a dedicated machine. Can I install on two machines? Thanks, Tom

Ok,, years ago I saw a font and now can't find it,, it looks as if a monster or something clawed at the font,, (horizontally) I know this is an impossible question,, but maybe,,,, just maybe,,,, someone will know. Thanks, Tom

I don't see a specific win7 driver,,,, just use the vista? Thanks, Tom

I don't see a specific win7 driver,,,, just use the vista? Thanks, Tom

What the he,,,,,ck is a hasp driver? Do you still have a link? Thanks, Tom

Yes,,, but windows 7 wants a digitally signed driver for it.

Do I have any hope of getting my SignBlazer 06 pro working? I need an easy way to do registration marks. Thanks, Tom

So how satisfied are you overall with color laser on vinyl? I am looking to get started,,, and if I can get away without investing thousands in a printer to start,, that would be a good thing. Thanks, Tom

Am I looking for a dye sub or something else? Thanks, Tom

Is a contour cutter also doing the printing? I don't "get" contour cutting. I am assuming the printing is done on a different machine,, but you know what happens when you assume. Thanks, Tom

So any inkjet will work? With standard inks? I would be concerned about the ink in outdoor applications. Or is the media, vinyl vs paper the key? Thanks, Tom

So what is required as far as a printer goes? Again,, I ASSUME it requires a special printer? I have google searched,, searched here,, and not finding any specifics. Thanks, Tom

OK,, I want to use my PCut to cut airbrush stencils,,, I figure inkjet photo paper would be a good stencil material,, yes or no? I have been experimenting,, don't know how far to push it, my latest attempt was 20 cut speed,, 225 pressure, with a 45deg blade, doesn't get it done yet,, but it is very close. I have 60deg blades ordered,, but don't have them yet. What are your thoughts,, should I increase pressure,, wait for the 60s, or use a different material. I have hand cut photo paper,, and they are reusable, but if I can cut with the PCut that is better for me. I have some thin cutting sheets that came from Bed Bath and beyond,, ( I think that is where the wife got them, but I don't want to ask yet,, 'cause she doesn't know they are "missing") I use repositionable adhesive to hold the material while it is being cut. Thanks, Tom

Oh,, just an update,, I WAS doing it incorrectly,, I dragged the two layers together,, and voila(sp) it cut correctly. Tom

I was given a graphic to cut out,, which is letters,, but as far as I know not a font. ( it was given to me as a .jpg) Anyway,, there is a "P" and an "O" that it doesn't cut the center out. Well it does cut it out but in a separate tile, How do I get it to cut it out all in one tile? Thanks, Tom

I think I may have just figured it out,, you drag the tiles on top of each other? I'll have to test cut tonight

I tried a search,, but struck out,, I know this HAS to been asked before,, but I have a Pcut I bought in 2005 or 2006,, As near as I can tell,, they use a Roland 2mm cutter? Also,, is there a down side to using a 60deg blade for everyday cutting,, I am a hobbyist, not a pro. Thanks, Tom

Well that's not quite what I was looking for,, but will do if I can't find the other. Thanks, Tom

Ok,, years ago I saw a font and now can't find it,, it looks as if a monster or something clawed at the font,, (horizontally) I know this is an impossible question,, but maybe,,,, just maybe,,,, someone will know. Thanks, Tom I just realized I had posted this in the wrong section,, so I copied it here

OK,, So I had not used my plotter for a while,, and had a laptop failure,, so I replaced the laptop with a windows7 machine. When I look at Device manager there is a problem shown on my USB to Serial. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling still no go. When I try to send a job to cutter,, it says it failed to initionize. Thoughts? Thanks, Tom

Ok,, Spent 3 hrs on the phone with Microsoft,, and Asus,, MS blamed it on Asus,, Asus blamed it on the driver,, so three hrs of my life wasted,, I am more leaning towards the Asus as being the problem. We tried to download drivers from Asus,, MS,, and still have the same thing. I am thinking this will be the last Asus machine I ever buy,,, The head phone port went bad shortly after I bought it,, (mechanical issue which won't let the speakers work) which I can live without,, I usually use head phones anyway,, but this issue kind of really ticks me off. THANKS, Tom

OK talked to customer service Monday,, I had them all stumped as well,, seems the digital device signature is an issue,, not really sure if I want to disable it through the registry,,, hmmmmmmmm. Thanks for all the help though. I may have to do design on this machine, and take my portable laptop down to the plotter. Thanks, Tom

OK,, Just tried something,, grabbed the daughters laptop,, (XP OS) loaded up signblazer, drivers ect,, plotter works fine!!!! So there is something with windows7. I would hate to have to steal daughters laptop back, not saying I wouldn't,, just saying I would hate to!!!!! Thoughts? Thanks, Tom

Taz,, Great idea,, I hadn't thought of that,, unfortunately it is still a no-go,, DARN DARN DARN! Any other thoughts? Thanks, Tom

There is only a USB cable inline. My understanding is there is some sort of USB to serial conversion going on internal in the machine.
