    I have this same problem, but it was because CorelDraw wasn't shut properly.
     

    Try this:

     

    Close both Corel and Cutting Master, then go to the task manager (Ctrl-Shift-Del) and look  in the Processes Tab and see if Corel isn't still running,  if so, End Process of Corel.

     

    Then re-open Corel and Cutting Master and try again.

     

    This works for me.

    6 Years after the post this solved my issue !

    Normally use a GCC Bengal to cut with.We got a CE Lite 50 (mostly to do contour cutting with) and Graphtec uses numbers to determine force. I have a book of cutting forces we used for  the GCC for vinyls but sitting here test cutting everytime is getting old and most times I forget when using the CE and either blast through or not enough pressure. Few times got lucky and cut properly. Was wondering n hoping   is there a "conversion" chart or anyone done any conversion of the graphtec system to grams force ? Specs say 210 for the CE but numbers go higher so my simple thought of maybe each represented 10gf but doesn't seem to..

    Thanks

    Please show were it says in the copyright laws , statues etc were it says that using it for yourself is not a violation ?  There is none. There is some exceptions for music as long as you own the original. I'd get new lawyer.

    From my years of dealing with CR/TM violation while running a ISP.

    ..." Other misconceptions concern print, graphics, or other visual content. Some of these are that if the purveyor of the illegal copies is not charging for them or otherwise making a profit, the copying is not an infringement; that anything posted on the Web or on a Usenet news group must be in the public domain by virtue of its presence there; that the First Amendment and the fair use doctrine allow copying of virtually any content so long as it is for personal use in the home, rather than redistribution..."

    Copyright Infringement

    Copyright law does not contain any caveat that allows unauthorized parties to make personal copies of copyrighted products. However, under the doctrine of "fair use," individuals may be permitted to make backup copies or archival copies of some materials as long as certain conditions are met. Creating a copy of a copyrighted work for your own ease of use is likely to be considered copyright infringement. But if you are making a copy so that you may use a copyrighted product in case the original is stolen, damaged or destroyed, your conduct may fall within the doctrine of fair use.

    Generally, copyright infringement occurs when an unauthorized party reproduces, distributes, performs, publicly displays, or makes a derivative work from a copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright owner. Although the practice commonly occurs, making a copy of a protected work for a friend or for personal ease of access is prohibited and may subject the person making copies to personal liability. Additionally, making a personal copy of copyrighted material so that you can use it in a different manner may be prohibited under copyright law.

    As long as I'm not effected or fubared by what others do I don't really care. But to give out wrong info is wrong. Before I sold  my Computer Store and ISP we use to get hit with C&D's due to the personal websites users put up and used copyrighted material. Spent more time arguing with users that thought it was unfair and wasn't harming the company  and free advertising for that company etc yada yada yada. And this was late 1990's before the big search engines and shit. Now I can't imagine how many we would have gotten.

    As our lawyers told us. Don't own it, didn't license it don't use it. And what goes on behind closed doors well should stay there.

    I don't believe a picture of said work is a direct violation. The cut file sure would be. As a peer I would definitely caution you on producing stuff like that and also on show and tell. HD is a very nasty company to invite into a lawsuit and actively search for offenders. 

     

    Now if that's for yourself, as near as I can interpret the law you can do that for yourself. Still can't post the cut file to the forum. (not that you intended to)

    No personal use, best friend ,dead dog memorial is not an excuse for CR infringement, neither is giving away ,or donating. You might get to keep your stained undies since you didn't sell but still could lose your crap.

    If I don't charge for it, it's not a violation."

    False. Whether you charge can affect the damages awarded in court, but that's main difference under the law. It's still a violation if you give it away -- and there can still be serious damages if you hurt the commercial value of the property. There is a USA exception for personal copying of music, which is not a violation, though courts seem to have said that doesn't include widescale anonymous personal copying as Napster. If the work has no commercial value, the violation is mostly technical and is unlikely to result in legal action. Fair use determinations (see below) do sometimes depend on the involvement of money.

    Hard to believe people in this business don't know the laws , don't  take the time to learn them or just pass around foolish assumptions.

    If your asking about with sub ink you can use Epson Matte photo paper from an office store. Too expensive to use exclusively but in a jam like when out of paper works good.

     

    If asking about using inkjet paper with sub ink no it doesn't work. I put inkjet paper in my dye sub printer one day not paying attention, printed and pressed it. Didn't work.

     

    If your asking about pigment ink wrong forum.

    "first sub item"...... definitely wasn't anything on the platen.  lol  I placed a teflon sheet on bottom, then my paper on it, then the tag, then another teflon sheet and pressed. There was nothing to secure it as I was mainly checking the color profile. My heat tape didn't arrive with the setup and I'm too damn impatient to wait. LOLI do know that everything was as it was exactly where it was after opening press. 

    If it wasn't taped or adhesived down then it wasn't in the same place when you lifted the top platen back up, not on a hard substrate. The force and wind if you so wish to call it will move the paper when you lift the top platen backup.  You may not see it but it will and with dye sub even a small tiny micro movement can leave the ghost print.
