Ok you will say "We told you". I see it coming.
I got this US Cutter Refine MH 721 with SignCut software. The plotter cuts the test square, but I cant cut anything a design. I try to open an EPS I made but I cant, then I wrote something in the program and tried to cut it but nothing happens. I think it is a comunnication problem, but I cant figure it out. I read the (not so good, not so specific) manual and I have done everything but cant get to get it working.
Signcut seems to be such a basic cheapo software (correct me if Im wrong).
Do anyone of you use SignCut? Have you ever had this same problem? How did you fix it? What can posibbly be wrong (other than I didnt buy the Roland )
Thank you | |  | |  | |
I feel your pain brotha. The transition to the signcut software is kind of a user-self-training course as there is little information available in the manual or on their site. However, once you get rolling you'll love the program.
What program are you using to design your .eps? If you have a current version of Corel or of Illustrator you can import it directly from the program. Right now I'm using Illustrator 10 and don't have that option. I found that if you fill the object you can actually import the .eps directly and it will open the .eps just fine.
Example 1- my design in Illustrator. Yellow portion is the outline layer 1... Black is layer 2... white will be weeded out and show layer 1.
Example 2- That image imported to Sign Cut. On the right it shows The three color layers that I used in my .eps Design.
Example 3- Pics of Finished Product.
Example 4- Product in use.
The US Cutter is an awesome cutter. Just figure out that program and you'll be in business brotha. I just recently started using the US Cutter and it's working great for me.
Post if you have any probs... I'm learning as I go but I'm making a lot of things with the cutter and Sign Cut. Make sure to try your options with bitmaps if you need something urgent.
