    You could try an electronics repair shop who specializes in board repair in your area. Depending on price.

    According to the internet there is still parts. As long as it works for your unit. Just depends on shipping costs. https://www.sign-in-global.com/products/32468/liyu_sc_a_tc_a_plotter_interface_board_usb_port_data_board_liyu_interface_accessories.html

    The vinyl cutter is NOT a US CUTTER Liyu SC vinyl cutter. It is a US CUTTER Liyu TC vinyl cutter. It states it right on the vinyl cutter on the control panel. MODEL TC PLOTTER. Now whether that will make a difference in the cutting software driver, you will have to change everything and check. I don't think forum user Monkey ever got his Liyu SC to work with a Tripplite Keyspan adapter. The official baud rate for the Liyu TC series cutting plotter is 19200, as specified in the manufacturer's user manual. If you are using software configuration or troubleshooting a serial COM port connection where 19200 does not respond, 9600 or 57600 are alternative rates occasionally used depending on your driver or software bridge. https://uscutter.com/content/PDFs/tc_manual.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoofiBcLRJdsaWxbOZ6YgPXu3j3HXI52M3FH81C4kFSyt8-lWXiH
  5. Did you go into and add the additional pinch roller in the menu? (Update Push Roller Setting) I found this info, maybe it could help you. Also, there is a youtube video you could look at. No, I did not do any of this on my cutter, but I have a Graphtec FC8000-75, that I purchased used that has 2 additional pinch rollers on it. (4) It works as it should with all 4 pinch rollers. I am just sending some info that I found. Maybe it could help you. https://www.google.com/search?q=If+I+add+an+extra+pinch+roller+to+my+Graphtec+8600-75%2C+what+else+do+i+need+to+change&rlz=1C1OZZY_enUS1173US1176&oq=If+I+add+an+extra+pinch+roller+to+my+Graphtec+8600-75%2C+what+else+do+i+need+to+change&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRiPAtIBCjQ2OTQ2ajBqMTWoAgiwAgHxBQr20Y3Cm9GD&sourceid=chrome&source=chrome.rb&ie=UTF-8

    Graphtec CE7000-60 Help

    First uncheck OVERLAP. 0.200 in. Put the .2 to ZERO 0 and leave it unchecked. Also start fresh with the basics, which is first setting your blade correctly. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see and feel the blade tip out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade. When you think the blade is so far in the blade holder, that you think it would not even cut, that is probably correct. Run tests using the TEST feature on the vinyl cutter. Never be pulling vinyl while cutting, always have enough vinyl slack to do the order. Check out your teflon cutting strip for scratches and gouges, if present, replace.

    SCAL with Laser Point Ii

    Did you see this cutter operate before you received it? If so, was it operating alright? Have you ever ran a vinyl cutter before? Is if possible to upload a video of your problem? Is the teflon cutting strip smooth and not chewed up? No scratches?

    COM Port # must be set between 1-4, nothing higher, In your computer device manager and your cutter software. They must match. On a value cutter like you have it is not true USB like more expensive vinyl cutters. GRaphtec/Roland. On value cutters, turn off the cutter between cuts, so that it dumps the data from the previous order. Always push the ORIGIN button before cutting. Always have vinyl slack for the whole order. With value cutters like yours best to run on a Tripp lite Keyspan Adapter (that is the brand name) and a null modem cable. Much better connection. The Tripp lite has it's own driver, rather than the cheap Chinese chipset in the vinyl cutter. Find the best price. https://tripplite.eaton.com/support/USA19HS You plug the null moden cable into your vinyl cutter, then connect to the Tripplite to it., then USB end goes into your USB on computer.
  10. Have you checked out SAGA for genuine parts? A Titan vinyl cutter is a rebranded Saga vinyl cutter. https://www.sagacnc.us/parts-for-saga-vinyl-cutters

    Hello All

    Welcome Gary. First off, vinyl cutters are NOT printers. They are vinyl cutters. Please lose the word printer.. No ink is involved. My first cutter was a Seiki 850H.30" It made me alot of money. It stepped me up to a Graphtec in 14 monthsi. Great machine. Just not that great on tracking on long cuts.

    CE8000-60 Need help

    Does this help at all? 1. The Graphtec Plugin Workflow (Recommended) Graphtec provides proprietary software for Windows and Mac called Cutting Master (or Graphtec Pro Studio). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] How it works: You design and convert your artwork to paths in Inkscape. You then export your design as an .EPS file and open it in Cutting Master. Value: This plug-in communicates perfectly with the Graphtec CE8000. It includes advanced features like registration mark detection for Print & Cut, weeding lines, and tiling. Get it: Download the software directly from Graphtec America.

    CE8000-60 Need help

    Cutter is NOT designed to cut 24" wide. 603 mm is 23.7402 INches. Read the Specs.You also bought great Graphtec support. I don't know of anyone on here that has purchased the CE8000-60. Doesn't your cutter have "expand" to cut past the pinch rollers? Not going to read your manual but all other previous Graphtec cutters do. I own a FC unit. I turned my sensors off on day 1. My cutter was purchased new in 2008. Never a problem and I use bare bones Flexistarter 8.6. I can cut edge to edge with no problems. and Tracking is great.

    wtp files

    If you are still using Signgo, why can't you export as an .EPS? .EPS is the most popular file format for any type of cutting software.Doubt you will be using 10k files all at 1 time. Signgo, says you can export these...SignGo, including the Lite and Pro versions, primarily utilizes its own native file format for saving, but enables exporting and importing common vector and bitmap formats for signmaking. Key supported file types include AI, EPS, DXF, PLT, and BMP, allowing for easy transfer between design software and vinyl cutting plotters
  15. After you down load the driver, you must restart your computer. You have to go into your computer device manager and see where which com port # the driver is. Then go into your cutting software and use the same comport number in your setup as in your computer device manager. Choose your vinyl cutter in the cutting software. It must be between 1-4. This is not plug and play. You must set it up to match each other.
