jeff0246 4 Posted August 31, 2008 Hi there, I am hoping to get my new 24" Vinyl Cutter /Cutting Plotter USCutter W/USB and it comes with the Sign Blazer Elements trial edition. How is this software? Is it true that the company went out of business? Am I going to be able to get this working ok, and will I need to get new software soon. I hope not! Money is tight...any advice or opinions are appreciated! Thanks-Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted August 31, 2008 For starting out, the trial version of SBE will suit your needs just fine... Download Inkscape(free) to use as a design and convert images to eps file, if you haven't already done so. After a few months, if you think your skill level is pushing the limits of SBE, then you can start looking into other options. But thenagain, it never hurts to keep a watchful eye open for a good deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted August 31, 2008 Hi Jeff , SignBlazer is great , the bad thing is the owner/founder passed away this spring . The realistic status of the co is that it's business doors are closed . There is hope that new owners will resume business , although seemingly impossible to be as good as when under Jerry's care & guidance . You will be able to use SignBlazer elements trial version ( I have for a year ) . Inkscape is very good also & if you are like most on here ( hobbyists ) , either will do just fine . IF you are making commitments , I think you should have back-up computers , software & cutters . If not & you can/ don't mind being down for awhile , there is no need for anything else . regards , Rodger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
