SignCut Crashing and not showing images

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I just received my plotter (MH-871) yesterday and I'm having a nightmare of a time setting it up. After a lot of fighting, I was able to get the computer to talk to the plotter. Teh issues here will go into another post in another section though.

As for SignCut, I will render an EPS from Illustrator CS5, and everything but 8 will show HUGE lines that are no where to be found on any of the Illustrator pages. With the font that I'm using, if I render in CS5 format, then NOTHING shows up.

I have tried to make a file that is basic cuts on a 20"x30" sheet, but the program crashes!

I'm at my whits end on this. I have been working on this stuff for 24 hours and nothing is helping. All I need it to do is take my image or text, and cut it out lol. Sounds easy enough...

Any help is appriciated. Help out a newbie lol.

Signcut can not read the CS5 format of .ai or .eps save it into a legacy version I use 8 as a always works option.

Hope this helped

That didn't help at all. If you would have read my post, I'm using Legacy 8 to render the projects.

maybe if you could post up your file, maybe someone can figure it out

are you importing the files? Most cutting software requires importing, not opening. I don't have Signcut, but just a thought. I noticed in another thread, you said "opening". the files in Signcut. Your statement below....

Rendering these into EPS 8 then opening them up in SignCut is hit and miss. The cuts that I need to make are not there in some, and in others, there are HUGE LINES that are about 6x as big as the image. And with a 20"x30" image, you can imagine the size.

Some of us tried helping out the 'newbie' once... Thankfully, that thread was deleted...

I know what port it's running on, it's running under the USB001 port. How many times to I have to say this?! Forget it, you people want to blame me more than you want to help me, so close the damn post. I'm done. Biggest mistake I have made buying from this company!!!!!!!!!!

I just downloaded the trial version of Signcut pro, just for the heck of it... saved a file in version 8 .ai and opened it in Signcut, no problems. It does say open... This is my first time ever using it. It didn't crash, bounce, jump or fly...
