Adobe Illustrator and Titan **New to this and needs help**

[brandileighe 0]

Hi.  Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

 

I have purchased a Titan.  I have installed it to my computer.  I also have Adobe Illustrator.  I am trying to send my page over to my cutter and for some reason it is not recognizing the cutter as a printer.  I am sure that there is a setting off or a missing plug-in.  I have been trying to resolve this for a few hours.  Could someone send me in the right direction and give me some pointers?

 

Thanks again!

You don't state what cutting software you are using,  but if your using Sure Cuts A Lot,    here is the website and tutorial info for it

Yeah your cutter does not function like a printer. You must use a secondary program for cutting. Sure cuts a lot will work and there are other options but they cost money.

Ok awesome.  I do have Sure Cuts a lot.  I will install it to my computer.  This is a great start. =)

Sure cuts is a crappy design program (IMO) but as a cutting tool seems to do ok. I had an early beta version but no longer have it so I will be less helpful with using it. Can certainly help with AI if you are having trouble though. Don't be intimidated by the cutter. They do have a learning curve but once you get it down they are addictive and tons of fun. You have joined by far the best forum for new users. There are a lot of previous posts so do a little searching and you can find most answers.

pretty sure when I had the titan I cut from illy and corel directly with the drivers that came with the cutter   - call support - this is not like the value cutters and has a true usb - not emulated - I know I was cutting directly with it.
