I am searching the software for making Rhinestone Templates. I am not quite good at computer. Waiting for your recommendation. Thank you!

Girlzndollz · August 6th, 2009

Hi, are you looking for just the software (do you already have a cutter, or machine to make the templates?) or do you need a machine with the software? What is your budget and intended level of production?

heattransfers · August 6th, 2009

Hi Kelly, thanks for your reply. I just need the software which is easy to use.

DTFuqua · August 7th, 2009

Kelly asked you those questions because different software works with different machines. Some of the programs can be used with a little/lot more effort to get what you want to transfer over to work with a system that its not designed for. I haven't used it but the DAS system is arguably the best for use with multiple brand cutters and the Roland R-Ware is best for the Roland engravers.

Then there is a big discussion going on now about the Eagle, Falcon, & KNK Maxx machines here Cutting and Rhinestone systems available by Accugraphics. You might look at that post as I think someone had said that you could buy the software separately here too.

ACS Studio currently only cuts to our ACS cutters. But we are looking into having other drivers added and then offering it a la carte.

Is there a trial version that maybe doesn't "send to cutter" or save that we can try out?

Hello Terry
Just a quick question , does DAS have a trial Demo because I would like to do a real comparison myself. I watched a Demo at a trade show but that is not a true way of comparing . Canned Demos etc..can make things look very easy.
Best Regards
Gary

Hi Gary. I don't think they do but I don't know for sure. I have considered the DAS system and figure it is just way to costly. I don't spend much time thinking about it any more but if I could try it out and it turned out to be the wiz-bang thing it is supposed to be, I might reconsider it if I started doing a LOT of rhinestone work. I checked out the advertised price of the KNK Studio and it is very affordable and is the reason I asked about the demo version. I saw some of Sandy's (I think I'm refering to the right person) videos and the KNK Studio seems to be not only affordable, but able to do most if not all of the things I am looking to do. The real reason I asked about the demo version is I have literaly thousands of dollars in equipment and software that I would not have if everything worked exactly like all the videos and all the information had been correct and up to date. I learn slow but I do learn.
While I might mention the DAS system to people, I am in no way an advocate of it simply because of the high cost. I only mention it because of the fact that at least one person on this forum uses it and seems to like it. And even he doesn't promote the DAS system as the best all round program of its kind. I know I'm not consistent, but I also mention the KNK and Eagle line of cutters when asked for referances about what someone might choose. I am also a believer in the Roland R-Ware system but it too is kinda expensive(not as much as the DAS) and another drawback of the R-Ware is you have to work aroung a lack of compatability with my cutter.

Hello
I totally understand! What cutter do you have?

DAS does not offer a trial or demo period for their system. It requires a dongle to even open the program. I don't think Roland does either

DTFuqua · August 7th, 2009

I have a Graphtec CE5000-60. It is a very capable machine and I realy like it .

Girlzndollz · August 7th, 2009

Hi Rena...

What cutter do you have? That might be helpful, too, to help to find out what software is available and may for your cutter.

Kelly =)

The closest you can get to a demo of DAS system is they will do the virtual demo with the virtual conferencing, I have gone on with them and seen the program at work, but it is not the same as doing it yourself.

I have downloaded your demo software, and so far I like it

It was really easy to use and very functional, although so far I have only done a couple designs, but did like how I could simulate fills.

BobbieLee where do you find the demo software and is it the ACS software or the KNK software? I would like to try it also. I am seriously thinking about trying this KNK MAXX out. The more I am reading about the more I like the sounds of it. Thanks again.
