Meowheim 0 Posted October 8, 2012 Hello, I have an old Vinyl Express GRC-61 with old software(Sign Lab 5.1/Corel Draw X4) that my father left me. Can anybody provide some insight as to how I can set this up properly(Drivers/Additional Software)? I'm running on Windows 8 but I do have a copy of Windows XP available seeing as though this plotter is relatively old. I'm also unable to get my computer to detect the GRC-61 device. Could not having the GRC-61 driver be the cause of this? I've searched for hours on the web for these drivers but I'm unable to locate them. I do apologize for the tedious questions that I'm asking. Any guidance which be much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted October 8, 2012 I do not know about drivers for Sign Lab or Corel Draw, but I can tell you that Signblazer (the all cutters version) has the driver for the Vinyl Express GRC-61 so you should be able to use Signblazer software to run it.

Jay2703 704 Posted October 8, 2012 That's the cutter I have. It hooks up to a Serial connection, no driver required. Like mb20music says, download the SignBlazer UK version from here and your cutter will be listed. http://www.mediafire.../?ygva0uwuckhr4 Turn off your Anti-Virus software because it sees it as a threat. (It's not) Burn the .iso file to a disk then run the installation Then run the update in the second .zip file then run the patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meowheim 0 Posted October 9, 2012 Thank you guys! I really do appreciate the help. However, I am unable to get my computer to detect the GRC-61 Plotter. I'm running on Windows 7 using a USB to Serial DB25. It's been read as Prolific USB Com# depending on the port I put it in. When I attempt to cut, a box pops up indicating bytes were sent out but there's no response from my plotter. Any help would be much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanielOlmos79 0 Posted March 14, 2022 Hello! I have the same cutting plotter and I work with Flexising in Windows 10, you can search for it on Google and download it. I am currently having problems because my paper-pressing arm broke. Does anyone know where I can get it new?

slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 14, 2022 Hola Daniel, Are you referring to the Pinch Roller arm assembly? (There are three of them) https://www.ebay.com/itm/181631654106 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
