Art Cut - ArtCut 54" SD1360 Problems

[darkdan 3]

After I bought my wonderful beautiful super reliable MH1351-SE my brother decided to buy a plotter.

He tried to one up me and instead of getting the same 50" plotter I have he wanted a 54" plotter and got an ArtCut 54" SD1360 off ebay.

He has had nothing but problems with this thing.  It will stop cutting right in the middle of a job and just reset.  The cuts looks horrible and squiggly (like it's off track, but it's not, and he's played with the offset forever).

I believe he's running WinXP and a serial cable.  Anyone have any experience with these things?

The MH1351 or the SD1360?
