Seiki 870T

[may0024 0]

I purchased this cutter a few years ago and stop using it when I upgraded my computer and could not get the FlexiStarter to work. I would like to use it again, does anyone know of a free cutting program that is compatible with this cutter? I've tried upgrading the driver to get the Flexi going to no avail.

 

I currently use CorelDrawX3 with Cutting Master 2 for my CraftRobo Pro but could not get the Seiki to cut with it.

 

TIA!

Best to just purchase Flexistarter 10,  It is compatible with Windows 7. Can be had for under $130 on EBAY.   Seiki is on it.   8.6v1 was for Vista and older software   Actually I stay back on XP, much more stable..  You could use your version of Flexistarter 8.6 v1 on XP..  You can still pick up XP computers for under $100 on EBAY,,,  My last 3 were under $75.00.  Always best to have a dedicated computer for your cutter.  There are 2 options for you.

Maybe try Signcut Pro.  It is not free.  The trial is 7 days, though it will run in test mode after that period.  In trial mode the dimensions are limited on your output.  But if you just needs something to test that the hardware is sound, its worth a shot.  A document on their website does lists the Seiki 870T: http://www.signcutpro.com/files/pdf/driverlist20130410.pdf 

 

I use Signcut Pro.  It has few bells and whistles like Flexi or other more advanced packages.  I just need it to drive the cutter and little else.  I use CorelDraw X7 for the designs.  

 

It is subscription based.  You need a web connection on the machine you will be using it on.  A life time subscription is $398.  A six month subscription is $64.

Good luck!

Thank you, I appreciate your input! I think I will have to upgrade, that seems to be the cheaper route for me.

does your version of Flexi list ANY Seiki cutters?
