Cheapest way to Cut question

Recommended Posts

I am just a hobby vinyl cutter for some of my own stuff.

I have a SC34 and Corel X3.

What is the cheapest way for me to be able to cut my designs without purchasing SIGNCUT.

I have tried Signblazer elements, but anything I import gets distorted.

Vinyl Master is a cheaper alternative, would that work better?

Thanks.

I like VM Cut...it works/feels similar to Corel.

BUT, I create in Corel and import the eps file into VM for cutting.

Previously I used SignBlazer for cutting and still have it on one computer.

What did you export as from Corel to be able to use in Signblazer?

I will most likely get VinylMaster.

thanks.

Convert all text to curves & export/save as eps.

eps files should work in most cutting programs.

Isn't the base SCAL only like $50? Correct me if I'm wrong. Great program

very great program ,but i have the pro version $199.00.  which is better than the base version $59.00

There is a difference for sure..

Back in the days, before 200 dollar vinyl cutters, we used to use single edge razor blades/ X-Atco knifes, to cut paint mask, and stuff. Pretty cheap.
