I don't get it. What am I missing here?

Is this happening with letters/text ? Type a word in SignBlazer, cut it. What happens? Clean?

**** rolls eyes **** Nice to see that you learned all there is to know about digital printing at your new job, Flaboy, and decided to quit from there, going off on your own to become a digital printing pro ---- Of course, you have tens of thousands of $$$ just sitting in the bank available for this endeavor? A roll of 3M premium wrap film (IJ-3650) 60" x 50 yards is priced at $780. Then there's the inks --- you may need up to eight cartridges, some costing $115 each. http://www.uscutter....3-B-MKISPC-0440 For wrapping vehicles, 60" is the way to go. H-P, Mimaki, EFI are three of the leaders. http://www.mimakiusa.com/ You really need to talk to a local distributor of digital machines. Or visit a trade show and see for yourself what's out there. This subject is not something you can easily evaluate and discuss randomly in a forum like this.

LiYu SF631 is listed in my SBE cutter setup configuration list. Is it listed in your version of SBE? What price is being asked?

Two inches? Really? Well, that's your problem right there.

Should be. Since you're already running SBE, have you checked to see if that cutter listed in cutter setup?

At what size is this design being cut? It may very well be that the SC is incapable of dealing with these very fine lines below a certain resolution. In other words, you may be asking the cutter to exceed its limitations on these tiny pieces. I have never tried to get my SC to perform anything so detailed, I keep things to outline shapes whenever possible and avoid all those interior cuts.

It does seem that I've seen more than a couple of complaints here on the forum indicating some SC cutters are shipping with their cutting head off the tracks (wheels not seated correctly). This is something you can check yourself with a minor amount of disassembly, worth a look.

Does your system include drying racks?

Not Honey Bees, but they are kissing

Screenprinting coroplast 'bandit' signs is something you'll be doing a lot of.

Howdy. Can you point to one thing that you discovered here, which assisted you? Just curious to see how we're doin'

SignBlazer provides this graphic --

Good call, Robspace, mistakenly I overlooked the OP request for those instructions in Illustrator, and provided the SignBlazer details instead. My entire world is SignBlazer, so that's how I automatically think.

You may need USCUTTER support to log into your computer remotely and see what isn't set correctly. Something isn't, obviously.

sc is LiYu HF-1202. The SignBlazer UK version can be cracked (eliminating the start-up screens).

158c and 165c -- very close to each other (158 is slightly more brownish) How does one compare Pantone and get a close match to Oracal? Is there a chart anywhere? (other than visual matching with the Oracal color swatches)

Let us know how everything works out for you. By the way, to bypass any issues with a USB connection, my solution was to just buy a cheapo older Dell desktop with the serial port, and dedicate that machine to my SC. Cost for the Dell (with monitor, keyboard and mouse) was $75. Haven't had even the slightest glitch, in hundreds of cuts.

Seems to me (looking at my Oracal color-swatch book) you can go with 651 Intermediate color Lt.Orange 036. This type of exact logo-color matching is the kind of thing which is best done with Pantone Matching System, but just eyeballing it, I think you wil lbe OK with the 036.

Where are we at in this thread? 1. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mac+windows+emulation+software+free 2. USB should work on the SC, anyway that is not related to the crash of the SignCut software. 3. Flexi (starter) is functional on the mac and gets the cutter to operate, is that right? 4. Not all "art" from Illustrator is cuttable.

Hi Jonathan, glad to have you here. Blade depth will be very, very shallow, almost imperceptibly sticking out of the holder. I have my SC set for 5g. Does your macintosh run in Windows emulation mode? If so, try SignBlazer (The SC is a Liyu machine, so use that driver).

Ahhhhhhh, that reminds me, it's not really necessary to actually BURN the installer onto a physical CD-R. Magic-ISO is the answer, which allows mounting a virtual CDdisc onto the desktop. Just get MagicISO onto your computer first, and then go ahead and open the SignBlazer installers.

Rather than regular banner material (shown under your Thermoflex in the photo), have you tried the US CUTTER product called 'InstaBanner' ? http://www.uscutter.com/index/page/product/product_id/1602/category_id/27/product_name/GreenStar+Two+Color+Vinyl+Banner%2C+24%22+x+25+Yard+Roll

^^^ thread bump ^^^^ Try this -- download and install THIS version, with the crack (eliminates the Trial Version screen) http://www.mystat.com/Signblazer.zip Always restart your computer after an installation of a new program. Then, run that SignBlazer UK version, go into Cutter setup and choose "RedSail" RS800-c driver for MH machines and "LiYu" for SC cutters.
