tjb1 1 Posted September 1, 2011 I am looking to buy the MH series cutter in the 28" width, I have thought about the 34" but I havent really found any vinyl in that size so I decided to go with the 28". Few questions - Is the keyspan really necessary? I have a Macbook Pro but I can boot into Windows or I also have a Windows desktop so if it isnt required right now I would like to avoid it. Also, not sure on colors of vinyl but where is the cheapest place to get vinyl and transfer paper? And one last question, is it possible to use AutoCAD with the included software?

AshComputers 197 Posted September 2, 2011 You can use autocad, you have to export the file, then cut it in Signblazer. USC is the cheapest on vinyl also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AshComputers 197 Posted September 3, 2011 Better vinyl lasts longer outdoors. Get you some greenstar tack just to practice with to start off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjb1 1 Posted September 4, 2011 I got 12" transfer but could I use two strips if a decal was say 24" wide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted September 4, 2011 yes , all I have used so far is 15" on up to 24" decals . 651 is for outside use & is medium grade . 631 is for inside use & comes off easy so you can apply to painted walls etc . I just took off the 1rst decals I ever made ( 4 years ago ), made from Oracal 651 & they were still perfect . Of course 751 is much better , but 651 does the job . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjb1 1 Posted September 4, 2011 Should I overlap or get as close as I can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjb1 1 Posted September 6, 2011 Ordered the cutter on Friday or Saturday, I know it wont ship until today (Tuesday, 9/6/2011). I am in Pennsylvania, any idea on when I can expect it with the $9 FedEx shipping. I think I read somewhere that USCutter has places in Washington and Tennessee, any hope for a Tn ship?

tjb1 1 Posted September 6, 2011 Where can I find this memory upgrade everyone is talking about? Anyone know what exactly the chip is called or even a picture, I like to shop around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitsuj 5 Posted September 7, 2011 Welcome! FWIW, I ordered mine Thursday, late at night. It shipped from TN. I'm in PA as well and Fedex tracking says I'll have my cutter today.(Figures, I have a real hectic schedule at work and probably won't get to play with it today!) Mines a Graphtec, though, so I don't know if different makes or models are kept in different warehouses. But USC will send you shipping confirmations and tracking numbers, they were good about that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
