Silhouette Studio - Laserpoint

Recommended Posts

I’ve got a 24” Laserpoint, about 10 years old that came with SignBlazer.  I’ve hardly used the cutter, a lot of that because I hate the SignBlazer. Can I download the Silhouette software and tun the cutter off that?  Or possibly cut from Inkscape?  I have just never gotten the hang of SignBlazer, and lately it just keeps shutting down on me. I want to start using the cutter.

Silhouette software is only for Silhouette cutters.  made by Graphtec.  

   Yes, you can cut from Inkscape,   I think It's called Inkcut.

You actually have two options in Inkscape now. There is a plot function that is built into Inkscape, and there is InkCut, which is a separate program that can be integrated into Inkscape. The instructions to install InkCut on windows are not very clear but I was able to get it setup over the weekend. I didn't try to actually cut anything with it but first impressions of it, it felt rather clunky. But it's one of only 2 free cutting programs I know of, SB being the other, so can't complain too much.

You hate the SignBlazer because it isn't functioning properly.

Download and install this v7.0.0 and perhaps it is more stable and won't "shut down"
