I am seeing alot of logos come in with this font lately and I don't have it. I tried searching fonts.com using the site tool and it didn't find it. Thanks for your help

Thanks! All my brain could think to search for were "western" fonts when I saw the logo. I am searching google right now...

I agree with showandgo. It takes a little time and the best way to learn is by doing it. Kinda like driving a car. If you are stuck, you can find some good tips and tutorials online for using specific tools. Adobe even has it's own forum board with freebie plugins, tips, etc. I never use the instruction manuals that come with the software - it takes too long to do it that way in my opinion.

I just double checked and our signcut is installed here: computer>c>program files>signcut computer>c>program files x86>signcut We have new Gateway gaming 64bit computers running Win7.

I use CS5 and haven't had any problems. You really need to follow the signcut install instructions exactly and install the plugin. We had to do this a few times to get it right. We are advised to save the AI files as EPS v8 or so, but I never do and it opens up fine. Make sure you convert text and lines to outlines and do pathfinder>merge. If you don't, you can end up with wonky cuts, it cutting the design twice,etc.

Thanks for the input - much appreciated. We decided to order a Puma.

We have a big cutter and I'd like to buy one that is 24" or smaller. We do alot of jobs that are 12" or smaller and I don't like using the big machine for these. I would also like to get a cutter that can do a really good job on small lettering and fine details. I am looking at the CP2500 --- anyone currently using this one? We will only be using it to cut vinyl. What is the difference between the motor types (ie: divisional, stepper, etc). I was looking at the Graphtec CE5000 too but they look really slow.

UScutter...is it possible to get the Graphtec CE5000 24" without the vinyl and Corel? We use AI CS5 on our computers already and we have/use oracal vinyl. It looks like it comes from Graphtec with the whole package tho.

Hi. I just bought an MH871. I bought a new computer to set it up on. It has win7, 8 USB ports, a DVI for my monitor, USB mouse & keyboard connections, and two HDMI ports. No serial ports. I've got 3 other computers and this is the 1st one I've purchased that didn't have a regular serial port - I hear most new computers don't have them anymore...I just assumed it had one. Other note: I've installed my new printer via USB port and I've been using it already - I use it to print products for my customers so I have to have my printer hooked up. I installed SignBlazer & SignCut. I've got SignCut and AI CS5 talking to each other 100% so that's good to go. I haven't been able to get my cutter to show up on my computer though. I've tried figuring out which USB/port is which, but it's a nightmare and I don't have a clue. When I go into computer management/device management/etc, I just see a huge list of ports and don't know which one to set anything up with. I can't tell them apart. I'd prefer to install the cutter via USB then to go buy a new serial card and have to install that 1st. I do have two expansion slots...if I end up not being able to go the USB route. Silly Q: There are two white tape like strips running the length of the cutter, near the rollers. Am I suppose to remove them?

Oh goodness!!! Tom sent me the USB driver and I installed it again. Nothing seemed to change so far. Then.....I went into SignCut to "settings", then to "cutter" and changed the default output from PDF to USB and it started cutting!!!! I am soooooooo :D :D :D :D happy happy joy joy right now! lol Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!!!

That's exactly what I was thinking. It makes sense to me to help a client out here and there, especially if it keeps them coming back for more. I'm getting a helper in about a month and I plan on buying another machine or two - but I figured I'd start out with an inexpensive one to get the hang of it 1st. Everything I ordered so far was packaged really well and arrived fast. I love that kind of service. Thanks for the tip ...I'll try submitting a ticket and see how it goes. It was kinda hard to tell what stickers were suppose to stay on and which ones I was suppose to pull off. With our near 100% humidity down here off and on, even the purple USCutter logo stickers were half coiling up and falling off. I didn't want to yank off the white ones if they were meant to stay in place to protect the black rubber strips. Thanks

I don't mind having to tinker with a few things to get everything going, but I don't think I should have to pay more $$. I have a typical setup. (From what I've read on the forums, Ash Computers seems to be very knowledgeable and I'm sure I'll solicit their help at some point in the future. ) I feel that USCutter should have an interest in assisting me at the moment. Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I'm sure I'll figure it out at some point.

Anyone?

Strike that. I just opened the other box of additional supplies I ordered separately and there is a signcut flyer in a ziploc baggie with a registration code. Yay! Thx

Paperwork? It came with a SB cd and an operation manual.

I just bought and rec'd my new MH871 from you guys. It did NOT include anything besides a SB cd. No SignCut.
