I actually tend to use the pen tool in Photoshop and have my girlfriend convert the paths in Illustrator to cuttable files. Like people said you have to pay $50 to unlock self made designs on the Cameo. You can make your files for the Cameo in Illustrator or Corel. Apparently you can use Corel with the US Cutter now. We've used US Cutters in the past and "meh." **** inkscape, it sucks. The software can occasionally be a little wonky, but that's rather rare. We have the Cameo and we're quite happy with it. I've got an MH720 from uscutter.I use Signcut Production Pro to send to plotter.Flexi tends to confuse the hell out of me. Haven't had to uninstall and re-install though. If I unplug, I have to log-out and back in, or reboot.
PLOTTER SEIKI PRODUCT SERIAL
serial ports (what this is emulating) aren't plug-n-play. With the USB COM Port, if you unplug it, and plug it back into the same port, it won't work. If I get to my pc, ill attach the support forum conversation I had with a Seiki tech, it is worth a good laugh. So thats what I do when I get a communication error uninstall plotter and reinstall using a different COM# so if you plugged your plotter into a different usb port, it wouldn't work unless you reinstalled it specifying the new COM# port.
Essentially the drivers set up a communication line with a specified port, basically making a usb port behave like an old style printer port. Often times the pc sees the plotter but when you send a file to cut an error message occurs saying, cannot communicate with port. Instead I have to load it on the far end.ĭrivers for the usb interface are a bit touchy. This means I can't feed my orical at one end because the rollers don't close together. Pinch rollers can be adjusted slightly, but I also measured the distance from the blade housing to the bottom roller were different from one side to the other. I can't remember the model, ST850 I think, but here have been my issues:ĭistance between pinch roller bottom roller are different as you go down the length of the 40in. I have the big ol Seiki plotter purchased about two years ago.
