Yes, you purchase a FC model Graphtec... other wise NO..... Don't know about a Roland. maybe some other high end cutters do also.

I would contact tech support... put a ticket in.. they can work with you on it. http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit

"search" is your friend http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,16150.0.html

yes, they do for $9.99 free ship You can try them all. http://cgi.ebay.com/Flexi-8-6-DEMO-FlexiSign-Pro-vinyl-sign-cutter-Printer-/280506441209?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item414f7c9df9

your missing the point of,, these new people are not earning the money to purchase that Flexipro software, they are STEALING the software .. downloading it from torrents,shareware. etc. just like this post stated last week on this forum.. They don't want to start from scratch and actually EARN the money for the software.. this person. just purchased a $300 cutter. It doesn't matter their reason they took it. Fact is, they did. And He won't be getting rid of it either, he really wanted to get that going with that cutter. to test before buying Flexistarter??. LOL "I'll check on that stuff tonight when i get home speed. The version of flexi i snagged is 8.1 pro, yes it is cracked, thought id try out the program before buying the starter and couldnt find a demo etc. I saw you mentioned in another post the cracked version could be the culprit. I totally forgot to try signcut again last night to compare, I will test both again tonight. Thanks for your time,"

depending on how large the designs are and how many nodes. Your cutter may not have the memory for doing multiple decals. It also could be dropping from the USB.

great glad you got it...

Isn't there a button on the side of the cutter? where the carriage head travels right to left. The carriage head can actually touch the button..

glad you got it,, hope it helps

I just sent it to your email address, it is a pdf file. See if it works for you

well, If your sure you have the wheels snapped down good in the track, then I would contact tech support.

well, did you make sure the carriage head is firmly on the track like I told the OP? that is what fixed his..

are you following these instructions... ?? from support USCutter MH (Refine) Series QUICK INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: SignBlazer, and most other vinyl/ tint cutting software, interfaces with the vinyl cutter directly, without installing any Windows drivers. The exception is if you choose to use the USB cable, in which case you will need to install the USB drivers located on the mini CD-Rom. In other software programs such as Flexi, the Roland PNC-1000 driver will work. Each time you change the settings after an unsuccessful cut, you may need to reboot your computer and power cycle the cutter to clear the buffer. NOTE: Sometimes during shipment of the cutter, the carriage pops off the tracks it should sit on. Make sure the white wheels behind the carriage are sitting ON the tracks and not in front of the tracks. Just press up on the carriage to re-seat. Also, make sure you connect the black ground wire to the bottom of the cutter, and then to the stand. You should see where it connects to the bottom of the cutter, and you can loosen any screw on the stand to connect. The ground wire comes in the box with the other cables, blades, etc. * Parallel Port (25pin cable) In most cases, the parallel port will work simply by connecting the cable and setting up the SignBlazer software to cut/ plot through the LPT1 port. Be sure to use the cable that came with the cutter, and not an extended cable. If you have connection issues you can try the following steps: 1) Verify all cables are connected properly and try rebooting the computer and cutter. 2) Uninstall or disable all printer drivers that might be using the LPT1 port. This can be done under Printer & Faxes on Windows based machines. You WILL NOT see this cutter/ plotter listed in printer & faxes, but since it uses a driver through the cutting software, any other installed devices that used the LPT1 port could cause interference. 3) No other devices or switchboxes should be connected, or daisy chained to the parallel port. 4) Change your parallel port mode to ECP if it is not already. This is done in your computers BIOS and is not recommended for novice users. * Serial Port (9pin cable) Simply connect the cable to your computer from the cutter and set the SignBlazer software to cut/ plot through the COM1 port. If that does not work, you may need to try COM2 if you have had other devices hooked up to the serial port in the past. * USB If you need to install your cutter through the USB port, you will need to install the USB drivers. USB drivers are available on our support site under Downloads, then MH/Refine Series Downloads. The USB driver is the very top selection, simply click on it and run it. It will self-install and when finished tell you that "FTDI drivers have been successfully installed." Once the drivers are installed, you can plug your USB cable in to the computer and Windows should tell you that "new hardware is found" and then "your hardware is installed and ready to use." You then need to check your device manager under the ports category to see which COM port the USB installed to (usually COM3 or COM4). Once you find out which port it installed to, you can then tell SignBlazer which port it is using and select the correct Device. If you do not have internet access to download the latest USB driver, the mini CD should have USB drivers on it as well. Just plug in your USB cable to the computer and a found new hardware wizard should appear. Do not let Windows search for a driver, but instead select

Signblazer is no longer in business, owner passed away, sever years ago. there is no emails or authorization. Everybody is on a permanent trial> Follow the instructions on the Newbie Manual. first page is download. Goodluck http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,17489.0.html

your welcome, glad you got it.

then you want it like a silhoutte drawing. It has to be solid. You have to fill it in. with a color. . not just make lines. then it will cut the outside line. example below. http://www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/28290.html

ok let me ask you this.... what are you expecting it to do? what are you expecting the line drawing to look like when you are done cutting it?

yes,, they are.... a serial cable is always better

real nice Bill.

a vectorized image is 2 lines. If it didn't cut the outside and inside. there would be nothing there to cut. A vectorized image is outlines.. If it didn't cut the outside and inside of this EXAMPLE image, you would not see it at all. That is what makes it black or whatever color you chose. http://www.clipartguide.com/_pages/1386-0812-1116-3845.html
