Jay2703 704 Posted February 16, 2014 What type of cable are you using to between your computer and cutter? (Serial or USB) I prefer SignBlazer over Sure Cuts A Lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joker 618 Posted February 16, 2014 You should be able to save as an eps file. If you are using a usb connection iy should bring right up in the drop down menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted February 16, 2014 Make sure you have installed the USB drivers. I think when you install the driver you get a USB00X pick in the list of output devices. Go here and select the cutter you have, it has setup detailed instructions for all the USCutter models including SignBlazer setup via USB. http://www.uscuttersupport.com/setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 18, 2014 Only thing scalp does better is trace. Other than that I'd go with Signblazer if choosing between the 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
