tgbvinyl 7 Posted March 31, 2012 I just tried Sign Blazer, I put some simple text, and some circles just playing around. I walked away and came back to about 5 yards on vinyl on the floor, all of it was cut with a line down the center and the it didn't even cut what I wanted cut properly. What are the benefits to this program?? I hear everyone talking about it I wanna give it a good shot what did I do wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you are probably connected by USB. Not a good choice. A keyspan adapter is the way to go.. Did you ground your cutter? Here is some topics to read for your problem.. http://support.uscut...-and-what-to-do http://support.uscut...iddle-of-my-cut 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted March 31, 2012 What cutter do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 31, 2012 I think from a previous post. They have a Liyu Sc. So, what driver are you using in Signblazer? And without possibly showing your settings and such, hard to say what your problem is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted April 1, 2012 I would now like to hear further feedback comments from tgbvinyl regarding his/her impressions about SBE now that the hardware issue was resolved, and he/she has had an opportunity to do some actual production using SBE. For instance, do you like the overall interface? Is it too 'cartooney" ? Did you feel the need to customize the toolbar so that the most-used icons are to the left side & always available? Did you like the Library of standard cuttable designs? Since this thread started on the "wrong foot" so to speak, I am wondering if it would be possible for tgbvinylto salvage it and obtain some positive info about the benefits to this program. Or, perhaps he/she still doesn't like it and has reasons why? Just curious, either way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgbvinyl 7 Posted April 1, 2012 Now that I have everything working right, I love it. The interface is a little goofy but, its a great program. I found the library which has a lot of useful stuff. Thanks everyone for the help! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted April 1, 2012 Well, that certainly was refreshing, this thread about SBE went from "Grrrrrrrrrrrr, darn it all" to "I love it" and proved once again the tremendous value these forums serve to our community of cutter users. It made my day. Now, THAT was easy! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmax 166 Posted April 1, 2012 I agreee.........Sign Blazer is a very good program (in my opinion) Started out with it, still using it 90% of the time and still learning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
