I am just a hobby vinyl cutter for some of my own stuff. I have a SC34 and Corel X3. What is the cheapest way for me to be able to cut my designs without purchasing SIGNCUT. I have tried Signblazer elements, but anything I import gets distorted. Vinyl Master is a cheaper alternative, would that work better? Thanks.

Apparently, the USB to Serial adapter I have doesn't have drivers for Windows 10. Guess I will have to get a new one or downgrade to Windows 7

So ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, I hadn't used my cutter. Now when I try, no cutting software finds my cutter. Signcut tries to connect to COM 3 which was where my cutter used to be, but won't give me other options. if I use my 4 usb ports, it starts at COM 5 and goes to com 8 in my devices but with errors. Any idea how to fix this with windows 10?

What did you export as from Corel to be able to use in Signblazer? I will most likely get VinylMaster. thanks.

First, the speed I am cutting at, doesn't show great on the scree. I have a ?00 for speed. not really an issue much. Secondly, since that started, the cutter is noisy when it cuts and the roller turns. It's like a mini grinding noise. can't figure it out. I will take a video tonight and post it. Anyone have that happen before?

My USB cable no longer works, so I got a Rs232 adapter and tried that, still my sign cut will not send anything to the cutter. I tried a printer cable also, nothing. at first, if I moved the cable, it would finally connect. So I am thinking the board is no good. Is it a hard job to replace? thanks.

I did a design with the PEN TOOL. Combined, Grouped and then break apart curve and started doing the fills and what not, then half of the design wasn't attached to the main design anymore and I can't get it back. by the time I noticed the smaller piece was no longer part of the bigger piece, it was too late to UNDO all as I was painting and cleaning lines. At least I think those are the steps I did. I'm not an advanced user by any means. Can someone take a look and offer guidance? thanks in advance. I am at work and I only have the CDR file and I can't upload those kinds here. I can email it.

Thanks. It was getting late last night and after a few glasses of red with the misses, the brain was starting to fog up. Thanks all, I now have things to go on

The remaining part was part of the whole GRID that I selected before grouping and breaking curve apart. It's PEN lines that I used and curved them. i'm going to get the TRIAL for illustrator as Corel seems to give more issues in complex designed. i'll try somethings when I get home.

I had followed some tutorial online that mentioned to group all the lines together and then break it apart to fill in the spots. it worked for half of it. Thanks.

Here's the image in a nutshell. the grid part is now it's own and I can't get it to group and break apart so I can fill in the blacks where I want it.

I have a client that wants a checkered tile with the effect as it's going around a round pipe. Can Corel do this? If so, how? thanks.

I'll get a trial of illustrator and do it with it.

He's decided on these flags instead, but when I add skew and perspective to it, it really makes the rear squares I drew up quite LONG.

Kinda like this http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-162905042/stock-photo-checkered-texture-d-background-abstract-design-concept.html?src=pp-same_artist-156501134-uFIlTLYOi_X2ZJqWnuPIWA-7

the supplier I usually take my vinyl from is having a hard time with some colors I need for a client. Looking at 2 rolls each in 10 yards. Oracal 751 or any equivalent in another brand Oracal 025 (Brimstone) Oracal 040 (Violet) Oracal 070 (Black) Anyone know where I can get these? I tried USCutter, but the shipping is almost 200..

thanks. my dealer is on that list too, so may not be a good sign.

I have the RAM font down, easy. the 2500 and Cummins Turbo Diesel, I can't seem to match it.

YES, THAT'S what it is. thanks.

Thanks. Tried it on 2 of my laptops and same thing. UNKNOWN Device. pretty much I got a DUD.

Yes it's a new one. Just odd it installs it as an unknown device and then when I update the driver and point it to the right place, it wants nothing of it.

Keeps keeing UNKNOWN and to in device manager and point it to the 19w driver, it doesn't find it.

Yes, I downloaded that one, ran it, but my keyspan is never recognized. i hear the normal USB "beep", but never opens up to say found new hardware. i'll keep reading. thanks

I go the keyspan. it says usa-19w on it, I can't find the correct drivers.

If I wanted to print decals like these, able to withstand the outdoor weather, what would I need? What type of printer and vinyl / paper? thanks.
