    Illusctrator CS3 with Mac? Not SignCut...

    If you bought the cutter at uscutter it almost certianly came with some software. Check your documentation for a licence code.

    Blade Skipping

    I am having the same problem with my pcut. It is really frusterating. If i put the pressure up higher then it just cuts through the paper. I was able to make a slight SLIGHT improvement by adding a small amount of weight in the form of two nuts taped with black tape to the top of my blade holder... I think I am just going to sell this machine and get a new one.

    need help pricing job

    I usually start at $10 a sq ft and then drop off about 30 bucks to make them feel like they are getting a good deal. I charge $35 an hour to install, and only once has someone not had me do the install.

    Illustrator Question for layering lettering

    I have had a lot of problems with the internal lettering colors. It seems in illustrator after I trace out the letters, if there are multiple colors there will be an "o" or "a" with the inside a different color than the actual letter was painted.... anyone know how to overcome this?
  6. I would suggest at least a 24" machine. They can do about 90% of what you might ever want to do.

    Simple Application tape question

    That works well. I ran out of 2 ft app tape a couple weeks back and was moving, but had a HUGE job, I just overlapped the 12" stuff, no problem. Good Luck

    need help quick!!!

    Make sure you have the right cutter selected. I thought I did when I first started with mine but I had the wrong one installed. ooops
  13. I can vouch for Ken on this one, He has responded every single time I have had any query, and I have had a lot. This counts for both online and on the phone. In my experience, people who ask nicely and contribute, have a better chance of getting a positive response.

  17. Hello all, Does anyone have Sign-cut and want to trade for sign-blazer. I have an unregistered, un everything copy of sign-blazer and need sign-cut to work with my mac. I have sign-cut already installed on the mac, but sold my plotter and gave the guy my software, I don't want to mess him up by running it on his license code. I will mail original disc and e-mail serial number so you can get started right away, if you will do the same. Thanks Dustin
  18. I had a Refine, loved it, used it, sold it. Now I have a pcut and I h@#e it.... GRRR. how do you tighten the pinch rollers. Can you.. they keep slipping and screwing things up....

    Tightening Pinch Rollers

    Well I am think I am just going to roll a small bit of tape on the pnich roller to see if that increases the tension. If that doesn't work I may need new pinch rollers cause this really isn't working the way it is. Thanks Dustin

    Tightening Pinch Rollers

    It doesn't look cracked, I have given a fairly good examination, The rollers simply don't puch hard enough on the vinyl, so If it is cutting or sometimes just moving to a position it gets totally messed up (almost every time to varying degrees). Usually only .5 inch per foot or so (STILL ANNOYING). Oh well I guess I will have to manufacture my own solution. GRRR.

    Should I get Flexi Starter?

    Hello, I need some advice if I should get Flexi starter. I have been using signcut, just fine, but have to buy another copy because I got a new machine with signblazer which doesn't work on the mac. So since I am going to be spending money (unless someone wants to trade) I am wondering if Flexi is a worthwhile upgrade. As it is I do all my design work in CS 3 and open signcut. Any suggestions or comments would be great. Thanks Dustin

    Contemplating purchasing the CP-2500

    A starter pack would be GREAT! Although now I don't need one. At the time it sure would have been great.
