I just got a new USB to Serial port adpator that's says it works w/ Vista, just loaded and it created a COM 4 port, I know CoPam / sign cut says use COM 3, I'm not a t the cutter now, does anyone know it may work on COM 4?

thanks Ken, I will try that, until then I will continue using my desktop w/ XP which works Great! just wanted the option to use the laptop if possible.

I'm using the the older serial to USB adaptor that came w/ the Copam , I tried to install the drivers per the instructions that came w/ the Copam, and used the mini disc, window didnot reconize the drivers and the COM ports are not showing up in the ports catagory, only LPT1

I have a Copam 2500 I cut heat press vinyl and Oracal 651, 751 & 851 all on the same settings.. 10cm/130g/0.25mm blade depth not sure.. when I put a new blade in, it's trial and error to get proper depth.. I've had mine 18 mo.. only used 3 blades, I cut about 2hrs per day.. hope this helps..

I have a Copam 2500, use it to cut regular vinyl and have a heat press to do T shirts, I started out using Themoflex plus, the white weeds good, the black is hard to weed, now I'm using Easy weed, the white weeds really well, the black not as good but better than the black themoflex, I like to do dark shirts, w/ white graphics.. well pleased w/ the Copam..

does anyone have the Heritage Softail Script Logo (front Fender)? thanks Greg

My son bought me one of these heat presses a month ago (ebay item #330223182047 ) mine works Great.. I've done over 200 shirts and in process of doing 50 more.. I told him i wanted the one from US Cutter.. I was out of town he called and said he saved about $50 with this model on ebay.( w/ savings in shipping the teflon sheet was included and his bid on ebay..) I wanted the one from US but I figured 50 bucs is 50 bucs and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do shirts or not.. still not sure but I paid for the press and Made $$ with it on the 1st order.. never know what your getting until you try one.. I've had my Copam 2500 for a yr. now.. No Problems.. so far..well Pleased with it..

anyone know a source for precut octagon's 12" or so for security signs? thanks gg

I'm currently doing 75 car tags using .25 prefinished white alum. tag. got a great buy on them for .73 ea. down side my supplier doesn't have anymore and doesn't know when will get more. I recommend them over the plastic if you can find..mumsupply should have them. 25 of them are white alum. tag w/ blue vinyl overlay. sold them for 10.00 each. weeding medium difficulty.. feel I coming out okay.. 50 of them are three color, using white alum tag. spray painting background hammered silver, then 2 color vinyl weeding difficult.. sold them for 12.00 ea. should have charged 15.00 but still making a nice profit @ 12.00. I wouldn't do a tag less than 8.00 hope this helps Greg

does anyone have Helvetica Medium for PC? thanks Greg

Thanks John, I appreciate fonts, just what I needed!

Anyone bought a Heat Press from US Cutter yet? I'm looking to bid on one, wanted some feed back 1st, looks like a good buy compaired to others espeically w/ the cap, mug & plate attachments, main concern is how well the attachments work.. Thanks gg

I quit using weedlines in Signcut, never could get them to work right :why: I probaly didn't spend enough time to figure them out, neway I use an xacto to cut my own weed lines as I'm weeding, seems to work better for me, and have more control where to put them, it will be a few hrs b4 I'm back @ my cutting software to answer the settings ?,

thanks Jay, I may need to consider my next cutter to be Laserpoint, since I plan to start doing T Shirts also.. so many things you can do w/ a cutter :woohoo:

Welcome to the US Cutter forums, I have no answer but have the same ? sure someone will reply that knows.. btw keep us posted how the 6 in 1 works, I plan to get one myself in the near future,

I have Copam 2500, bought in June 07 Great Machine! plan to buy another US Cutter this year, btw what advantage would a laserppoint have? hate to ask a dumb ? here but "what is meant by contour cutting? or contour cutting transfers? gg

I've had the same problem b4, some of the things I found * make sure graphic will fit on vinyl * pinch roller to close to graphic ( I've most problem w/ lock ups trying to cut small stuff from left over vinyl ) :bang: * graphic has a open node or left over spec or cludder as I call it, tiny something that's not suppose to be there.. software not sure, I design & layout in Corel all I do in signcut2 is cut, all the problems I've had were error on my part or either I had a setting wrong in signcut.. make sure setting in cutware are set. hope this helps

thanks, my customer wants me to repaint some existing signs, they are carved w/ gold , the gold is coming off, she said they were painted w/ 23k gold paint... I wasn't aware of such, I knew to get 23k it had to be leaf, but w/ so many new things on the market now, wanted to make sure, I gave her a price to repaint using 1 shot imitatain gold and a price to use gold leaf thanks for the info!

anyone have a source for 23k gold paint? I have an opportunity to repaint some Existing Redwood Carved Signs w/ 23k Gold Paint, existing Gold paint is pealing, also any suggestions on removing the old gold? thanks in advance gg

tough question to answer, I've had my Copam 24" for 7 months now, Well pleased with it :clap:, all I have cut is Vinyl so far but when purchased I chose it b/c it was advetised that it could could cut tint and stencils, (PCut was offered then). I debating buying another cutter also if business stays steady, can't decide weather to buy another Copam or try a PCut to save $$$, I know for sure the Copam is a Great machine and you won't go wrong w/ it.. just depends on how much you want to spend.. btw I paid for my Copam w/ the 1st Job I cut w/ it... 99% sure I will buy another Copam
