lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 9, 2011 Im using sign blazer to cut, i have everything set right as far as i can tell. The damn thing only wants to cut the length of the vinyl and not the width when im cutting multiple decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshComputers 197 Posted April 9, 2011 What connection are you using? USB or Serial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 9, 2011 USB. and i know what your next response probably is lol. get a keyspan. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshComputers 197 Posted April 9, 2011 You got it man, it sounds like a communication problem to me. Even though I don't know what I'm talking about, get a keyspan if using USB hehehehe If you dont buy a keyspan, get a serial adapter lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 9, 2011 are there any stores that sell them? i feel like the keyspan will slow down the transfer of data though to the cutter. the SB does send the proper speed though. other than that it cuts great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 9, 2011 i just dont see how a keyspan would change the fact that its cutting the length and not the width. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 9, 2011 i just dont see how a keyspan would change the fact that its cutting the length and not the width. personally, I don't either, but what do I know. But have you tired a different Roland driver in Signblazer? Maybe the Roland Pnc1000 it is a generic driver. Or some others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 9, 2011 nope didnt help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 9, 2011 nope didnt help I know this is not your answer, but as an experiment,you could download the trial version of SigncutPro. It is good for a week per email address, See if it works correctly there. Just export an, .eps file out of Signblazer and use it,. You will know it is not your cutter then. Just a thought to get you going. A different software and driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted April 10, 2011 ok in cut studio it cuts the right way but i dont know how to make it cut multiples across the width from CutStudio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 10, 2011 ok in cut studio it cuts the right way but i dont know how to make it cut multiples across the width from CutStudio. LOL I didn't know you had Cutstudio. I have the almost same for my Graphtec, Cutting Master2 See if you have COPIES, then click how many you want. adjust the space between each design. If that does not equal out right, Look at the Media size and change to USER defined And adjust it, to what you want it to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
