You will probably have to buy a special cable (Keyspan Serial to USB adapter - 45.00) so you do not have static problems?......Also, you only get a trial version of Signcut which needs to be renewed after a year at a cost of 270.00.....Or you have to put up with Signblazer which is an old program with no support because the author has been dead for years....It is a good programs but there is quite the learning curve and it does not work directly with Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw...
I figure you really need a budget of 815.00 although you do not have to spend it all at once.....And you really should buy a stand, another 60.00.....A cutter works better on a stand which results in less wasted material.....
Before I bought my cutter I read every forum I could find and could not convince myself that a cutter from US Cutter would be a wise choice......
I ended up buying a GCC Expert 24 and it has been rock solid.....They now have a GCC Expert 24LX which does contour cutting.....With a stand it is 685.00 from Imprintables......It has a plug in that allows you to use Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw...And it comes with Great Cut software which does not expire....
A cutter will make you enough money to pay for itself very quickly......So do yourself a favour and buy a better machine if you can.....Good luck....
