  1. There really is no drivers for different versions of a os as these donot use standart spoolers such as printers. Your cutting software is where the "driver" resides if you will call it that. It is the protocal for the transfer of information thru assigned port. but there is no plug and play driver that will allow communication.

    nope. Just a new way of phishing for graphics is all i see. I would rather have people outright say hey i dont have these can i have some? Not troll like this. But like you said before Dakota, use the search, there is a few already here.

    Serial Port

    I hear alot of people ay oh you need xp or you cant do that on vista. When i started this i was using vista on all my pc's and connected my cutter with no problems to my tower that had a serial port. Then upgraded them all to Win7 and still no problem at all, not even a glitch. But the second i try USB or all these adapters it is nothing but problems or glitches. I truely need to say that when using these its not the operating system that makes any differance its wether your pc has a serial or not. I know the usb adapters work but..... Get a pc that has the correct equipment to run simple machines such as these. I can use and have used just about every peice of software out there on both vista and win 7 with no problems. And a host of cutters from a Master, US Cutter MH, Graphtec and a Zen. All with no issue using nothing but serial as they were designed. USB on any cutter is gunna cause issues. I was running top of the line 9 axis cnc turning centers that would fail every time we tried to parse information via usb. Serial would go without a hickup. What im saying is look for a box with a serial and save the headache. Whether it be a laptop or a desktop. It is gunna save you so much pain down the line. I know some have seperate box to design on running all new stuff and a old one to cut on, but man, thats a pain in the rear. Files all over the place, jump drive everything, now, what one is the one i cut?? ugg. Tried that too and hated it. What i quess im saying is look ahead and think when you upgrade your pc. oh, that new dell doesnt ave a serial? then maye you should lok at some other companies. Alot do if you look for them. Get a good moniter, Dial in your colors, load your favorite graphics and cutting program and away you go.

    Serial Port

    These machines are basic 2 axis cnc machines. Being that they were designed to be fed linear information or movement pulsed at a given rate. I know they have a buffer to temporary hold informaton as it is used by the controller. But that buffer gets filled in a instand via usb as it is a file dump and not a feed as it designed for the controller. More ram in the buffer is a very crude fix to the nature of the beast.

    Blank shirts

    lol, Ive bought from there quite a few times, like em cause they pick and ship asap. Here i thought you had some secret place. oh well and the show goes on. Most any place when you get into cases offer around this price and offer breaks on quanity not seen on normal pricing pages and flyers. Good advice to anyone is when getting over that 200 dollar mark and above be sure to call and talk to someone to see what they offer and have to offer. Most of the time these published prices can be beat pretty easily.

    Blank shirts

    i would like to know where your getting your "real" wholeslae pricing from. I buy these in quantities of around 150 to 300 a time and am not doing all that much better, but a little. but you make it seem like these are outragious prices. Please inform us instead of teasing and not giving any information. Not sure what your mean by a "real buisness" either, but this is what i do and all i do.. You want me to provide yopu with my state and federal tax info first???

    Hot To Stack?

    yes, I saw the other post too now. I agree with you again John, thats what it is looking like.

    Hot To Stack?

    I agree john. One never knows. But huge to one in not always huge to the next. But i did figure on the feet size to give a idea of cost. Of cours will vary a bit per vendor and material, just a ballpark.

    Hot To Stack?

    i am sure this is a misprint and the op meant to put in inches versus feet. Or if it is feet just figure it our for each number and would not be that hard of a layout. as far as the outline would there me a little space between the number and outline? then it would be easy to do a install this way with a top hinge on each letter. Painting is a option but not a very good one for this application as life would be a major concern and overall appearance when viewed from a close distance. Set your spacing se each letter is no more than 4' wide. 3 yards per letter. 50 yards of 48" Oracal 651 for $179, so each letter your cost would be 10.74 per color. 10 letters approx $110 single color, $220 2 color. Not anywhere near $400 to $500.

    question about mac,nothing to do with cutters

    PC2700 DDR SDRAM I have it working now. I think the extra Ram did it. I just think it's funny that I have no problem with doing the same stuff on Windows machines running a fraction of the ram with processors 1/4 as fast. PC2700 is 166 mhz

    With Illustrator CS5 i cant cut now ;-(

    why upgrade ai to cs5 unless your doing way more than cutting. The improvements over cs2 are really not signifigant in that form unless yourt super intensive drawing and doing way more than vinyl graphics with this.

    question about mac,nothing to do with cutters

    I would say its the ram itself, With G4 what are you using for rem? 133mhz? Not very fast. And comparing that to todays ddr2 and ddr3 is like comparing apples to watermellons. Its just not the same and being that old, slow bus speeds it might never really runn new apps such as that without a few burps.

    rc car question

    Well. In my honest opinion i would be a bit woried about that one for a 13 year old, Has he run electric before?or would this be his first car. Also i would be concerned about parts and avalibility for a off brand such as that. And also the durability of a 1/8 scale truggy is not the best as a basher type truck would be with minimal performance loss. If price is your big selling point i would say give it a try. But in my opinion i would get something in a name brand monster truck that would take a beating and is more basher/backyard geared. Traxxas Maxx/Revo, HPI Savage/MT, Associated GT. There is alot of trucks out there but do keep in mind they will break and if your havin fun with them they will break alot. Just be sure to get something you will have support for, ease of parts and easy repair and assembly.
