Need help with set-up MH Refine 50"

[number1cop 0]

Hi All,

This is my first post and I just bought a MH Refine 50" cutter yesterday and a bunch of Oracal 651 Vinyl for it.It is the first type of cutter or anything like this I have ever done.  I was wondering what other type of software to run with the signblazer ie. (corel or adobe) or do I even need that? Also any tips on setting this machine up would be outstanding! Thanks Bruce Hoffman

You don't need corel or illustrator...lots of people use them.  They are the industry standard for vector graphics.

However, I have used both of them, and prefer Inkscape, its free and open source.  I can do most everything with Inkscape and SignBlazer except maybe contour cut.  Its a great program!
