hi guys
i want to bye this cutter, the sc631e with the optical eye.
what is your opinion for that cutter?
i know is cheap but i am a amateur

 

[pavos]

nobody?????

 

[robo029]

wish i had not bought it not very good at all

 

[pavos]

can you explain why??

 

[robo029]

Because it is very hard to set up compared to my other cutter which i got going in minutes, i still not got it working it is doing my head in. Can not find drivers for it any where.

 

[BroJames]

Mine comes with a CD and got set up OK. It is a pretty good cutter for its price.

 

[robo029]

For people like me who bought second hand and have no drivers, have major probs as there is no where on the net to get the drivers. I like many others on here are pulling our hair out trying to set up as the cutter is not listed on vinyl master pro or flexi 8.5. There must be some one who can help us with a driver. I have another generic cutter working fine on hpgl but want to use the optical eye.

I have the same machine and it works great, for the drivers contact UK Cutter they are the official distributors based in Birmingham UK, they also have 64bit drivers.

As for the cut I use SigncutPro and it works brilliant with this machine also. We are going to get another Liyu just a bigger one as parts (if needed) are cheap and readily available.

Whether buying a second hand computer, a printer or a cutter, one should really check if the driver(s) are included. Unless one is pretty sure that it is freely downloadable from somewhere.

But I've seen liyu drivers on a winpcsign software. I think this is a special release of some sorts. Either an asian release or china cutter release. The winpcsign retails here for about $120.

Hi Guys

Still here trying to get this cutter to work lol how do i use the drivers once i have downloaded them. Ie where do they go if that makes sense thanks

 

[purevinyl]

pavos,

i had my liyu for over a year, bought from the same place and arrived in no time!

so easy to set up and come with drivers and a years free trial of signcut!

never once had a problem even doing 250+ sticker runs!!

hope you have a good experience too!

thanks

 

[pavos]

thank you Connor
i hope too
now i have only learn to operate my cutter
i wan it for t-shirts only (for the moment)
any advice is welcome
sorry if my English sucks...

 

[purevinyl]

pavos,

when the plotter arrives, sort out signcut straight away.

download a FREE program called INKSCAPE aswell direct from their website!

Inkscape is a vector artwork software and you can import pictures/text, vector it, open it in signcut and cut it out as easily as that!

Youtube have loads of videos on how to do it, thats how i started!

BTW you cannot print with this plotter just cut!!

thanks

Hi every one

I still can not get this cutter to work. I do not know what drivers to download from uk cutters. Could some one please please email me the correct ones i need for windows xp. To robo029@Hotmail.com i would be very greatful i have been on this for the last 8 hours my brain is fried.

 

[purevinyl]

Robo,

I'll try email them across tomorrow,

Did yours not come with a CD?

They're simple to install but it's late now!

Take a break, have a sleep and try again tomorrow!

 

[robo029]

No I bought it from some lad for 150 quid but no drivers. I wanted the contour cut feature. I have another cutter without it. Thank you buddy your a star

 

[purevinyl]

Robo,

I've never used the contour cut so couldn't help you on that bit but leave the drivers with me until tomorrow and ill sort you out!

 

[robo029]

Hi I have the driver now thanks every one, but when i go into device manager win xp to update the driver ch431ser i get the message cannot instal the hardware am i doing some thing wrong

 

[pavos]
