Mine is nothing more glamorous than two portable workbenches and an 8x3 sheet of MDF. But I am only just setting out too.

Aw heck! I'd better go and think up a tag line quickly!

Make sure your com settings are consistent, 9600baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. You need to set them on your PC, on the cutter and in Signblazer.

What a star! I have come across this issue a couple of times and that explains everything. Cheers!

Thanks guys. That was a pretty stupid question. I was just being lazy as it was raining here and I didn't want to trek down to my cutter in the garage to work it out. Rain soon stopped, I went, I investigated, I came to the correct conclusion!

Do you position the blade manually by hand or position it in the software somehow?

Thanks Speedoggy. I expected it was something like that.

*Dumb Limey Question Alert* Whats Bestine?

Have you loaded the driver for the converter cable? I have attempted to use such a cable in the past for various bits of hardware with varying poor results. I ended up buying a PC with a serial port already built in. Sorry, I know that doesn't help you any though.

That sucks! Its the kind of thing that would happen to me all the time. I'm just thankful I have a garage large enough to work in.

Hi all. Complete newbie to vinyl and cutting here. I'm "over the pond" in the (currently) sunny UK. I have had an itch to do some vinyl art for quite a while now, predominantly automotive decals, and have finally decided to do something about it. Stumbled across this forum while Googling for info and tutorials and it seems to be far more helpful and informative than any other forum that I have come across. laready found a couple of cracking bits of info that have eluded me elsewhere. So, thanks for a great forum and get used to having me hanging around and bugging you all! Cheers! Pete

Welcome form Nottingham UK. I'm new myself and they seem like a top bunch

How's this? Not a brilliant effort I'll grant you, but I'm new to this stuff myself. morton family reunion.eps morton family reunion.eps

Woah! Thanks for the welcomes everyone.

Just followed through the video thingy step by step and it worked a treat for me. Thanks for taking the time to post this up tlzimmerman.

I am a bit of a newb so may be wide of the mark, but I understand that the moisture causes reflective vinyl to de-laminate.
