    My customer is supposed to get the measurements for me and I'll let you know.  He said 6" tall but don't know how long yet.  I did get on 3M and request some but if for some reason I don't get any I'll send you a message.  Thanks for offering.

    I'm back. 

    First off I got my keyspan in the mail today  :thumbsup:  Before I started l to load signblazer on my other computer I thought I would give it a try. 

    Took it out of the package, put in the CD to install the driver.  Good so far.  Driver installed.  Instructions said to plug USB into computer first.  Did that.  Then attach the keyspan part, did that.  Then tried to plug it into my machine.  The end was wrong :thumbsup:  Started reading in the instructions again about may have to buy an adapter to plug into the equipment.  Well ******. 

    Ok, so I get over this and think I'll try just the cord because it looked like the same one I already had and plugged up like the one I had. 

    Guess what, it has worked on every cut.  I did cut one design then cut a second one without even having to unplug the USB from my computer.  I cut some more then tried to cut the same thing without uplugging it didn't work this time but when I unplugged and plugged back in worked again.  I think I have found my solution to my problem.  I will however get the adapter for my COM port but for now I can cut. :) :) :) :) :)

    thanks for your help and time Paco.  When all else fails replace the cord. 

    I'll keep you posted if for some reason I have any more problems.

    Ok, I will do that tonight.  I have access to the forum but am only with my cutter in the afternoon since I work a fulltime job (other than cutting). 

    Thanks for your help

    Oh, my computer has Vista.  I have downloaded the ftdchip USB driver, plugged in my machine and it recongized new hardware.  Went through the process and said it installed correctly. 

    I will send those screen shots later.

    thanks again

    1st try

    Ok.  Put paper in my cutter with marker.  Pluged up USB cable to computer.  Opened Signblazer, drew 5 x 5 square, clicked on cut, cut, cut tile,  got message saying 'Can not open out put device, Error intializing cutter'

    2nd

    from above, clicked ok on error box, unpluged USB, plugged back in, clicked finish, then went back to cut, cut tile and it drew it.

    3rd time

    from the cut screen, pressed cut, and cut tile again, the box came up saying sending to cutter but the blue progress bar never moves.

    Program goes to (not responding)

    Unplug USB to get program to respond. Plugged back in clicked cut, cut tile, in about 2 seconds it drew the square again.

    tried the last two steps over and over.  It seemed to freeze up if I didn't unplug the UBS each time.  Sometimes it cut and somtimes it didn't. 

    Does anyone think they may know a solution.  I have the keypan attachment ordered from dell.  Should be here Thursday.

    thanks for any advice

    Not sure on the font.  I'll look back at my fonts to see if I can find it again.  

    I haven't solded any but I was thinking maybe for wedding gifts make them to match their decor or even if someone is wanting them for them self.  If I ever got an order I would like to at least sell them in a 4 pack or maybe even a 6 pack.

    I was just trying some out and done the girls at work intials and gave them to them.  

    Thanks

    Here are some that I have done.  Just made them trying them out.  Gave them to the girls at work for coasters.  I originally bought some MOD PODGE and put on top of them but didn't hold you to water and glasses sweating.  Then I sprayed them with spray can clear coating.  Worked pretty good.  I glued a piece of black foam to the backs of mine then cut to size.  How much do you think you will charge for something like this?

    thanks

    very nice.  I have done some tile with a simple intial on them. Did you put any kind of clear over them?  Also my tiles I bought from the harware store where fine but on one edge it was smoothed or rounded off.  I didn't really like the look of that not matching the other sides.  Where yours like that?

    thanks

    Ok, thanks for vinylracingdecals for putting the instruction manuel together.  I have printed it off and followed it step by step but still doesn't solve my problem. 

    First off I called help desk a few weeks back because I was having problems getting it to my machine to cut.  I have a MH 721 and using a Dell Ispirion 1525 laptop connected by the USB cable.  I know this is not the best connection beut when I get finished sending my problem in I am going to hunt down a cable to see if it will connect with my laptop.

    Anyways, when I called a few weeks ago I was getting an error when I hit the cut tile button that the "Can not open the output device.  Error intilizing cutter" message or it just sits there "Sending output to cutter" (nothing ever happens). I unplug the USB cable to make the program respond again. 

    I have read and followed all the instructions on this web page and still not working.  Ready to just sell everything. 

    I have hooked up a speaker wire to a screw underneath the cutter and run it to a screw in the stand.  Still nothing.

    I have taken it off the stand and placed on a table.  Still nothing.

    I have started the Sign Blazer program with and without the USB cable plugged in my computer.  Still no help.

    Every once in a while it will start cutting fromt cut command but never finishes the design.

    Last week I submitted a help ticket and they sent me an email with some solution but nothing has helped.  I was on hold last Monday calling them but walked in an it started cutting a sticker so  hung up.  Thought it was fixed.  Came in Thursday afternoon and needed to cut some iron on vinyl and started acting crazy again.  (Done my best to get all the static out of the iron on vinyl) but still has not fixed my problem. 

    Does anyone have any solutions?

    Please help. 

    thanks

    nothing major.  A friend a work is getting married at the court house and wanted t-shirts made with Maid of honor and Groomsman on them.  The shirts are going to be brown and turqoise.  Was going to put brown lettering on the torquoise shirts and torqouise lettering on the brown shirts.  Will try to remember to post a picture when done.

    thanks
