    Hi KDM_Freak, say what's up to my hometown in Baldwin.

     

    All the advice is spot on, I strongly recommend you learn Signblazer, I began with it 5 years ago and it was very easy to learn & use. I didn't begin as an artist either, but with practice I have become a decent  Graphic designer. Good luck if you have any questions keep asking there is someone here at almost any time day/night.

    I'm a PC  Guy my son is a MA(nia)C, my only problem is with a MAC I feel claustrophobic! It's like I'm in a glove, some people feel comfort with that, but I feel I can't breath. The only times my PC fails is when it's under-powered for the software I'm using.

    I don't understand which drivers are not signed?? Did you reload the graphtec drivers also? You can buy or rent Tweek-UI and get access to windows permissions. If none of that works you may need to do a clean install of windows 7. basically find a blank hard drive & load windows 7 on to that then keep the current drive as a data drive. I do all my cutting from corel using the cutting master 2 (yes two)

    Yes it's archaic, it's 50+ years old. In the computer world that might as well be the dawn of time.

    Actually I was referring to the X25 protocol - The last reincarnation of RS232 it was created in 1985 under the IEEE consortium and under direction of Big Blue, but you are right the original protocol is over 50 years old, but no it wasn't the dawn of time I was there at the dawn of time and sadly  all we had was a small moth - the original bug!

    If you are still trying to figure it out, here are a few tips:

    1. Make sure all your serial ports match up Machine settings, software settings,PC settings must all have the same info

    Typically I used 8-1-n 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity on all ports (settings)

    2. Make sure you are using the correct plotter model in software

    I also searched the web before I posted here, I couldnt find much info. Seen where obamas team tried to stop some anti obama images during the election. There are also big name tshirt sites that sell shirts hats etc... imo who would give anyone rights to make negative stuff about them? Ive read where you cant use other peoples images like movie stars. Whats different about a president?

    It's something to do with that pesky first amendment, something about free speech and all that  :rolleyes:

    Youtube is a wonderful thing! Good luck Jerry, I usually set up 2-4 arcs with lettering in each It  makes it much easier than trying to do everything in one arc. Start by keeping all arcs the same size then re-size as needed.

    I tell my customers Papilio is short term use only. In my personal experience the durabrite inks only lasted about 6 months without an over laminate and just over a year with. (the over laminate pulls  the top layer off from the vinyl) This is outdoor use, I haven't had any failures with indoor use, but the ink does begin to wear after the first year.
