Can you provide a Screen-shot here of your Cutter Setup dialogue box?

Remember that white coroplast is a one-side sign material -- if you try to put lettering on both sides, they will shadow through the translucent material and make reading either side very difficult. Highly recommend OPAQUE white. I buy 4x8 sheets and cut them myself -- that's 10 blanks per sheet (18" x 24) Don't forget, customers will want various colors, not just white (yellow, red and blue are very popular) so having a few 4x8 sheets of those on hand is worthwhile, too. Metal H-stakes really are cheap looking -- I prefer to install my signs with USA SPIDER STAKES (Plastic) and charge a little more to my clients accordingly.

This is a print job, for sure, and the application of the perforated sign will be on the INSIDE of the window (the sticky facing is the printed side of the material) I order these from an online source, with a 3' x 4' area costing under $100 (delivered to my door in a few days) -- I'll price that to my clients for $250. including installation (it's a quick install, easier than regular vinyl).

The very first thing you need to do is determine what PORT your computer uses to communicate with the cutter. Most likely, Port 4 (USB) With SignBlazer open, press the CUTTER button, and then go to SETUP -- a dropdown list of Output ports will appear at the top of the dialog (right below the list of cutters, but you can choose ANY coPam cutter, that's not really a critical thing at this point, while you're trying to get the cutter responding at all) I am surprised the seller of your cutter provided NO ASSISTANCE about how it would operate whatsoever.

More ladder work --- (This is 28' on the wall --- 3-1/2 sheets of maxmetal end-to-end) maxmetal is duroplastic high-pressure laminated with a metallic aluminum surface, also known as DiBond.

The retail space is only 500 sq.ft. --- basically a converted garage with a front window. My main work area consists of two tables, 4'x8' and 4'x7' It's small and compact, but 15' of running surface area is sufficient for most things I do. On my "wish list" for 2012 -- a 4'x8' self-healing cutting mat (I'm working using a 2' x 4' one now)

The design is clever, with the front tube loose enough to permit the tape to unroll, while the back one is immobile, offering the tension required. You'll have to supply your own empty tubes, since the plastic ends are sold by themselves and the signmaker can place whatever length tubes they want.

YARD SALE yard signs ---- a single order of double-sided coroplast stake-signs for a lady who conducts this yard sale every weekend at her home (in nice weather) and she wanted to direct people with about 6 signs placed all around the vicinity. She got a lot of traffic with these (bright flourescent vinyl) Double-sided signs are best with with OPAQUE white coroplast, by the way.
