  1. I have read the previous post about the feeding issues and I am experiencing the same sort of thing. I have the pinch rollers in the green and everything works well on short runs but on longer cuts the vinyl slides all over the place. I have adjusted the speed of the plotter down to 10cm and it doesn't seem any better. If I am not mistaken Signcut actually controls the speed and cutting force so is this a cutter issue or software? Any help would be greatly appreciated I have to cut six 8" x 99" red strips and I don't want to waste a bunch of vinyl. Thanks, Todd
  2. Thanks for the info, I just want to get started and have some fun!
  3. The auction ended on Monday and I am receiving my Copam 2500 today, which when you are excited to get going seems like an eternity. My questions is, my main computer is a Mac Quad G5 and on that I have Adobe CS2, but in reading the forums I am hearing that there are some issues with the USB to serial adapter that comes with the unit and others still are having problems even after getting the Keyspan adapter and downloading the latest SignCut X2. So my question to you all is should I just hook the unit up to my laptop that is running Windows 2000 Professional and forget hooking it up to the Mac? And if I do that can I easily change SignCut X2 to my Mac later without having to pay for it? I have a few days to decide, my vinyl doesn't even show up until Monday, but I want to start cutting when it does. Thanks in advance, Todd

    1st Job Question

    Seeing how this is the first job that I will be doing, I figured I should ask the pros for suggestions before I get started. I will be doing some window graphics for an appliance store that will consist of a 7" red boarder with 5" white lettering. My question is should a cut a solid 7" red band and place the white letters on top, or should a cut out the letters from the red band and place the white letters in the cut outs. Please excuse me if I am not using the correct terminology, I am new to the sign making business and any help or suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks, Todd
