slice&dice 2,450 Posted September 24, 2015 On the website, there is now an offer for Vinyl Master "upgrade for Current USCutter Software Users" What does that mean? Is it a reference to the US Cutter Sure Cuts A Lot Pro software that's provided to purchasers of cutters? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted September 25, 2015 I guess its a trial and error thing see if you get it for that price or call them and let us know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted September 25, 2015 They gave me the $30 price....and I use SignBlazer on my LaserPoint. I got the offer in the US Cutter weekly email and it's a download of the Basic CUT version. I figure I may need it if (and when) SignBlazer stops working with the newer Windows upgrades. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted September 25, 2015 I am curious on the Vinyl Master Cut software > i currently use SCALPS 4 pro . Would it be better software than mine? The only thing i dont like about scalps is the text to line feature.The arc or arch lol is not very good.I do most of my designing in Ai cs6 and then just use scalps for shadowing,cutting or making outlines i need or special tweaks.. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sue2 I'm also limited by SignBlazer, especially as my new sign shop gets more and more submissions for 'vectorization' of existing logos. While SBE can do vector conversions, it's not so great at it. Yeah, Inkscape performs that task OK, but if this program handles that type of job well, it's worth $30 to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearlyRich 167 Posted September 27, 2015 I'm not "limited" by SB and I was stupid enough to buy scalp3... Even after that, I would jump on this except they don't support my PCut cutter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone can take advantage of the $30 pricing, all you need is to have a USCUTTER account. The link to their promotional offer is here ---------------------> http://www.uscutter.com/VinylMasterCutSoftware-Upgrade I've started a new thread about my first impressions on USING the software http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/50012-what-do-you-get-for-30-vinylmaster-basic-upgrade-for-us-cutter-users/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) If you look at the ad, wouldn't you figure that an actual disk is provided? USCUTTER needs to be stating in their description that this is a download. I encountered a problem intalling it on one machine with XP, but it did work on the others --- must be something about the XP version I had. (all my 4 computers are WinXP system machines) (edited to reflect that I finally got it working on XP) Edited October 1, 2015 by slice&dice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 1, 2015 Slice where did you get the info for downloading it? I didnt get a link when checked out and so far nothing in the mail. Maybe I will get a physical copy I ordered other stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 2, 2015 Slice where did you get the info for downloading it? I didnt get a link when checked out and so far nothing in the mail. Maybe I will get a physical copy I ordered other stuff. This is one of the weird things with how USCUTTER is handling the orders for the program. Instead of just offering the serial number in an eMail, they are actually providing a CARD with the #. It just seems unecessary, since the VinylMasterCut is a download anyway. When you receive your other stuff, there will be a flourescent yellow sticker on the box saying there's "MATERIAL" included. (my card was stuffed down inside a cardboard tube of vinyl) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 2, 2015 That is bs that's a horrible way of doing this, however I see their point they aren't making enough on the deal to warrant a physical copy. But your right they should send an email however their money maker is shipping. I guess if we want a physical copy just gotta make one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 4, 2015 I agree that just a out and out rip off when all they had to do was even just send a email ... I'm over that 48 hrs I would get mine till Monday sometimes. I messed up and forgot to click on home delivery I would have gotten it yesterday. That said I however ordered some yellow HTV so it paid for the card, But they could have sent it through email the code and saved us costumers a lot of money, Then again they are out to make money themselves and getting us to order the code and figure we should order other items makes them money. ah done with random babbling.
