Stickiton 1 Posted September 6, 2014 Hey all. Just got myself an old Creations P-Cut 630, which came with the old FlexiStarter 8 which for some reason will not work on our PC. (Win7 Pro Problem I think) So I am looking at using SignBlazer as I keep finding posts with people using this cutter with Win7 Pro. I have installed SignBlazer from the free download but it is not showing the P-Cut CS630 in the cutter options? Have I missed something in the installation? I have installed and reinstalled the CS drivers from their site as well as uninstalling and reinstalling SignBlazer, but do not believe the drivers have installed correctly. Any help would be great.

pshawny 410 Posted September 6, 2014 SignBlazer won't show all of the vinyl cutters since it has not been updated in many years and has been abandoned by the company that created it. Non-the-less, I have used and loved SignBlazer for the last six years. Just keep going down the list picking a different vinyl cutter model and trying a test cut until one of them works.

Jburns 239 Posted September 6, 2014 Also make sure baud rate and com port match your cutter. Keyspan adaptor from US cutter works awesome too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted September 6, 2014 In the list it is under "Creation PCut 630" and not "Pcut 630". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stickiton 1 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi guys, thanks for the replys, Finally got it to work by upping the Baud rate and choosing a different cutter. Next question is how do I import an image into signblazer to cut? I am trying to import a rose for my daughter but comes up with the below: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted September 6, 2014 The file will need to be converted to a vector imaged before it can be cut. I use Adobe Illustrator. There are also free programs such as Inkscape. Here is a link that helps to explain raster images vs vector images. http://vector-conversions.com/vectorizing/raster_vs_vector.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 8, 2014 Signblazer can do a conversion as well, although I never had any luck getting it to work right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stickiton 1 Posted September 9, 2014 Good afternoon/morning. I'm now getting this error, can anyone help. Im using a P-Cut CS630 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
101LEDs 100 Posted September 9, 2014 For some reason SB and the cutter aren't communicating. Check your settings and see if baud or com changed. I have been getting the same error, but I'm trying to see if a cutter not listed will work with a different driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted September 9, 2014 Also once you get your cutter cutting correctly, only plug your cutter into your computer when your computer is turned off..Or you will assign it a new com port number..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted September 9, 2014 I think that may vary depending on OS. I can plug it in when the PC is on, so long as I plug it into the same USB port it works just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stickiton 1 Posted September 10, 2014 Got it sorted. Thanks for everyone's help. It had changed the port settings in SignBlazer for some reason. But managing to cut some nice graphics out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
