Steph 0 Posted May 21, 2011 Hi, we use FlexiSign 8.1 Pro at work, and I'd like to buy a USCutter 24" Laserpoint Vinyl Cutter to use for my own small projects. I don't work specifically on the cutting/printing side of things, my job is creating the artwork in Ilustrator, but I wanted to be able to cut my own vinyl designs at lunchtimes, etc, on my own machine in my office, so no feathers get ruffled. The boss said I can do it in my office if I get my own machine, and learn to use FlexiSign 8.1 on my own time. A friend recommended the LP24 as the way to go, but before I buy one I wanted to be sure it was compatible, as I'll be setting it up myself. Anyway will 8.1 have the drivers to operate the LP24, or can they be downloaded somewhere? I guess I could contact our rep, but I'd like to get this sorted on my own time with a minimum of fuss. Cheers for any help, Steph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steph 0 Posted May 21, 2011 I had a a bit of a look around in 8.1 today, and I saw the PCUT 630 in the Production Manager, so obviously it will support the LP24. So I bought an LP24 from USCutter, as well as some spare Roland cutters to suit, and it should be here next week! Very cool. Do I need to select anything special to support the laser pointer? Thanks, Steph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph 0 Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah, I ended up cancelling my order after they tried to increase the shipping cost from just over $100 to $225!!! I got mine from another supplier for $95 shipping through TNT. The funny thing was the one I bought was even heavier than the LP24! Go figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
