i unstumped myself :read: . the 1rst pages of the manual dont respond . have to scroll down to get to an actual directory & the instructions . i pulled the pc off the desk with the 3' usb cord on my copam 2500 & runied the cable . all i can find is 6' replacements . will that cause problems ? soon to buy SignBlazer , Rodger

i was asking about the rebooting because of previous posts . i downloaded the trial version & it looks alot user friendly for folks like me who don;t have much knowledge in this area . i am stumped already though . i am trying to read the 7 hour instruction guide . i get the guide & the little hand moves around with my mouse , but i can't open anything .it said the registration # would be needed later i thought . thanks , rodger

Do you have to have internet connection to use Signblazer ( working out of a enclosed trailer in the future { when i get up to speed } ) & what is with the pc rebooting between cuts ? is that always ? thanks , Rodger

Hi Tater , Do you sell software ? ive been told the cheaper flexi is alot easier to learn . thanks , Rodger Myers

i have a 2500 . where do you put the vinyl's edge on the right side ? the manual's instructions dont make it simple enough for me . line it up where the knife sets before starting edge of 1rst pinch roller ? thanks , rodger myers

Hi , i hope it's ok to ask questions similiar to this topic instead of starting a new thread ? i am getting to understand things alot more , but i can't figure out how to load the vinyl so it cuts starting at the edge instead of inchs in . i have read the Copam manual ( cp-2500 ) & experimented some , but just am not getting it . thanks , Rodger Myers

Hi , i've read the entire SignCut section many times trying not to duplicate questions i know with as many people starting it has to be trying for the helpers & i do appreciate the help . when i go to the SignCut site & sign in , click on inscape layout software , it always goes to the download inscape for windows . i have downloaded it several times & still does it ? i get a different layout screens than when i click on the desktop inscape icon or the SignCut desktop icon ( not as many vertical icons & no measuring details ) i have 512 ram & have more ram to install as soon as i get somebody to install it ( thinking that might be my problem ? ) i have found inkscape tutorials on youtube that in informative to me . probally would help fellow newbies . thanks , Rodger

DGReenH , thanks , i thought going thru the SignCut website was the better way . i now understand the result i have been getting . i guess that is why i can find the cut out command in inkscape :idea: . Ken , ouch !!! i fear the dentist more than anybody , hope things went well & a speedy recovery ( i had a good bit of jawbone come out with 1 extraction ) i'll e-mail you & take you up on your offer to login on my pc . regards , Rodger

thanks for the help . i have run it & saved it at least 6 times each , still every time i try it , it goes to the download screen & the only way i go further is to download it again . i'm waitng for a friend who has a vinyl sign cutting business to have me come over & teach me , patience is a hard thing to practice ... regards , Rodger :chopper:

nobody is gonna help the handicapped , huh ?

sorry for the confusion . the problem is i'm confused . i am not sure if the layout software i get when i open inkscape is suppposed to be the same as when i open SignCut ? i thought SignCut uses inkscape software from what ive read ? when i open SignCut ( from the favorite places in AOL ) & sign in , i try to open the inkscape layout software , but i have to download inkscape every time . when i open Signcut thru the desktop icon , i get a layout that is similiar but missing many icons??? i thought the Lpt was the best way to connect the cutter ( copam 2500 ) from advice on this board , but the old manual in SignCut says the 1rst choice is the comm port when i try to open inkscape thru the desktop icon , i get a message " exception processing c0000013 parameters 75b6bf9c4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c " i have to cancel & then i get the inkscape layout . thanks & sorry that i can't connect the dots , Rodger Myers

How do i buy a doggle ? what is the cost ? thanks , Rodger Myers ( have not registered Signcut yet

i have a question that is relavent to this . i am buying a computer that will be dedicated to the Copam 2500 that is due in Monday , should i buy vista or find a pc that has xp ? thanks , Rodger Myers

i'm a newbie on this board & have a cp-2500 on it's way . Seems you might get away with small non-official orders , but that # is copyrighted more-so than most Nascar stuff & they go after infrigments vigorously . that said , i would like to be able to make that # also regards , Rodger Myers

How much does the heat press cost ? thanks , Rodger

Hi , i am bidding on Copam 2500 cutters & when i get 1 , intend on trying the heat transfer vinyl . any advice ? thanks , Rodger Myers

Thanks Ken for the answer & thanks for the prompt phone call replys the other day. when do you expect the 3500 model to become available on e-bay ? regards , Rodger Myers

i know i probally am asking questions that have been answered , but as i explore this new site i'll ask as i come across unknowns . i am planning on buying a Copam 3500 . ive read so much , i cant remember what applies to what . can i use 24" rolls ? can this cutter " cut 2" letters into 3" peices " as 1 of the cutters i was reading about says it can ? is there any difference in the Copam 2500 & 3500 other than being able to cut bigger stuff ? thanks , Rodger

i'm close to buying a Copam . if i opt for the 3 year use , when the internet connection isnt available , will it be the same as the other option ? ( do they offer the Copam 3500 on E-bay ) thanks , Rodger
