I am trying to cut and the program will not finish sending the output before the the cut finishes. The program freezes and my cutter freezes and I have to restart both. I thought it was a RAM problem with my laptop so I closed all programs. Restarted the computer but still same thing. This problem ahs been happening for awhile but is getting worse. I have a copam. I recently sent it in to get the motherboard changed but as soon as it came back it started making a humming noise everytime it is on AND I noticed the "measure" screen never pops up anymore every time I turn on my machine. I figured they changed a setting when repairing the motherboard but now I am not so sure. I am really not sure if this is a sign blazer issue or a Copam issue so I will list this problem in both. Also the warranty just expired on my cutter. But we have not had the $150 to send the cutter back to get fixed since we just sent it in the get fixed a little while ago too. I also submitted a ticket before and someone told me to call them and they would walk me through fixing it but I just have not had time to call and walk through anything during the hours your business is open so if someone could walk me through this issue on the board I would really appreciate it. I have searched the board everywhere for a solution but all I can find is people telling others to submit a ticket. Thanks for the help.

we actually stopped using the desktop because it started to only work with our laptop. i just changed the usb cord and it worked for now. We have had to change usb cords in the past a few times. Is it possible for a usb cord to stop functioning correctly? It is still working OCCASIONALLY with this other cord. It seems like I need to say a prayer over it while the data output is being sent to the cutter and pray and pray it doesnt freeze halfway through the cut. what could have been done in 4 hours yesterday took from sun up to sun down yesterday

Does anyone know how much the copam cp-4500 weighs? We need to send it back and we are trying to get an estimate on the cost. We are just looking to send the top half back not the stand. We are located in southern california and are planning on shipping it UPS if anyone has mailed it back before. Thanks.

Hello We were cutting a decal right now on our copam cp-4500 and midway in the cut the cutter stopped restarted and asked to measure. We measured it and it restarts itself before completing the measure. My husband said something smells burnt. Any insight on the issue would be appreciated. Also if we do send it in what do you think would be the wait time to get it back? Thank You

thanks I put a support ticket in last night and now I will try the serial. Hopefully I can find the serial cord.

We are looking to buy a wide format printer. Can you please tell me what you would recommend and why. Or if you would recommend anything else. We are hoping to be able to try vehicle wraps one day but for the most part we are contemplating making banners and printed decals and promotional gear. Thanks!

can someone link me to their cube cart page?

Hey I have been lurking on these forums for awhile but never formally introduced myself. My name is Camille. I am a SAHM mom of 3 kids age 4, 3, and 1. My husband is an active duty Marine. We are stationed on Camp Pendleton but we are from Northern California. We bought a cutter from USCUTTER about a year ago. We currently design and cut indoor vinyl decals and decals for your car. You can visit our blog at www.stickytatts.blogspot.com or our etsy shop at www.stickytatts.etsy.com. We are looking to buy a wide format printer cutter...if you are selling one or can recommend a good one please let me know. We are looking to buy within the next 2 months. Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself and for being such a big help when I need it. Camille

Hello I designed this for a customer 2 weeks ago on my Mac computer. My husband sold and reformatted our mac before saving the file and I am trying to recreate this but I cannot recall the fonts I used. I think they may be mac specific fonts but I am unsure. Thank you so much everyone!

this is not the easiest thing to do on a shirt with thermoflex from experience. The thermo flex shrinks slightly. I didnt attempt this but my husband did and it was a pain in the behind for him. I think I saw someone actually layer vinyl instead of cutting a separate "outline" to border the text. It looked like thermoflex on top of thermoflex to create an outline.

yes mirror and check spelling...lol..personal experience Also I like to press everything twice after I peel the transfer tape I like to press again with the teflon sheet to make sure its really set into the fabrics.

Wow thanks for the pic....I played with both until I succeeded. You are awesome.

We bought a Mighty Press 16x20 and have used it probably around 10 times. It wont clamp shut anymore. We have to hold it down now. Could we have broken it because we applied the wrong pressure? Any help would be appreciated. We thought we may have broken it but we are unsure...thanks!

very cute! We are in the process of making one for our house I will share when I am done. We havent made many plaques but they are always requested.

Yay!!!! I played with it and it worked!!! You rock! I should have asked this question like 5 months ago. We thought we broke the thing and lost out on a whole lot of money!

it doesnt lock at all anymore. I think the last thing we pressed before having this problem was a hoodie and I dont think my hubby changed the pressure for this. I will go play with the knob and tell you if anything changes.

I voted for number 2!

BTW Mader your tree looks great! Is it you or your wifes doing? Or a combo effort?

This is our tree. We got it on craigslist for $50. The bottom half is ornament less now since our 1 year old has been practicing his throw all around the house.

don't worry little lady, your husband has come to the rescue and fixed it.

I dont understand what I am doing wrong but everytime I try cutting this file there are random cuts EVERYWHERE and my cutter starts making all kinds of crazy noises. I have cut several other things throughout the day with no problem but this file has been kicking my butt since yesterday. texas1.SBD texas1.SBD

Thanks my hubby figured it out I wish I knew what he did but I fell asleep.

I was playing with some number settings in the font box and now everytime I type the fonts are all crunched or slanted and not proportionate at all. I already restarted the computer and still no change. I was wondering if maybe there was a reset button or something to make the settings go back to normal. When you open the box to select the font you want its all the numbers on the right hand side that say compression, slant, etc....Thanks in advance you all are always a wonderful help!
