Problem solved, found the correct cable.

I just switched to a laptop running Windows 10 from an XP desktop. The laptop doesn't have a 9 pin serial like my desktop. It has a 15 pin (for a monitor I believe) and USB ports. What is the best way to connect to my PCUT 630? Thanks.

Hey guys I need help with this one. The word Lollar is Ariel Black it seems. just not a perfect match. The word excavating I have no clue. and the phone number as well. Thanks to all in advance.

I have downloaded a font called Fat Boy Slim from more than one website to make sure that this wasn't a fluke type of a thing. What happens is that when I select it and type lettters, they come out totally different and the name of the font changes in the pop up box that you use to select and manipulate the font. I am using SBE and running Windows XP

when i do that, what do I do to insure that the files that I have saved over the years will be safe. i definitly don't wan't to loose my library of vectors. And thank you for that advice!

well i downloaded inkscape and vectorized the image successivly. I then saved it as and .eps file in the SBD files as before (and it can be seen there when exploring the file). But I still can't seen when I open the import file. Any ideas?

going to try inkscape as an alternative, thnx

The problem I am having is when I paste a file in SBD files in order to vectorize it, I can't see it when I open the import file. I can, however, see all other files I have saved in the past. I have opened the SBD files with explorer I can see it is their, just can't see it when I use Signblazer. I have tried saving as .bmp and . jpeg with no luck at all..I have done this successively in the past numerous times. This problem is a recent one.Is their a limit of capacity in the Import/Export files? I have also set up a new file in SBE files and put the new files in it just to try and resolve the issue with no luck. I am using XP. Thanks to all who help!

I have bee asked to sumit a quote on a couple of fire trucks. I could use alot of advice on this one. Are there any laws That regulate the use of reflective vinyl on emergency vehicles? I have read many members preference of brands of reflective vinyl. Does anyone have opinions on ones to avoid? Specifically, does anyone have experience with Vector or EnduraLITE. Being they are at the low end of the cost scale I want to know if they are a good value. thanks in advance

I was just wondering how do I go about getting SB Pro? Kinda of a silly question but I would like to know anyway. Thanks in advance.

It looks like the rolling of the banner may be a large culprit. I was rolling it vinyl in. This is my first banner and am learning a lot. I want to thank all for the great info to help me solve this prob. I've learned a lot from this post. Thanks

WOW!!! That washer fluid in the mix sure got a lot of attention ASAP. Banner, you chimed in before I could dig up your quote from an earlier post! None the less I'm having probs w/no solutions of my own. Thanks to all who have responded so far.

I'm having a problem with vinyl (Oracal 641) sticking to a banner. I have been using home made app fluid (winshield washer fluid, alcohol, dish soap, water). I squeegee until I feel all the fluid is out and let it dry. When I unroll the banner to do further work in other areas, the the vinyl has "tunneled" in the direction it was rolled. The design is of a caterpillar made to look like cirlcles that overlap. It is one continuous piece. the "tunneling" happens at the "overlap" area where it is narrower. I'm suspecting perhaps too much soap or not enough alcohol/water in the mix. Any ideas?
