#Use artcut 2009 with uscutter sc software#
This software has not been updated for years. What does the error say? This older software likes older files like version 8.eps. Start with just typing out some text on the layout screen and sending it to the cutter, so you know your cutter is communicating with the computer. She is not planning to run a major business, mainly for private stuff or for friends and family. Also, what's wrong with getting help even after buying? Lol Well, I didnt know she had the idea of buying a plotter and the fact that she bought the plotter until she asked me for help. You see Refines for sale all day long You can go into the Refine MH thread and see all the problems with them. I started with a Seiki value cutter, for 14 months and worked my way up. When you run a business you don't have time to be fiddling with settings and problems all the time. They have TRUE USB, not some cheap Chinese chipset, like the value cutters. I have never had a problem, Graphtecs are workhorses, that have servo motors, quiet and accurate, great tracking. I use it almost every day, as I do have a business. You would probably crap that I paid $3k for my new Graphtec FC- 30 inch cutter back in 2008. You stated " She paid almost 300€ for the Refine plotter secondhand." You should have checked here first, or did some research first, not after buying. When hitting "Open" or "Import" no file shows up in the file explorer, when trying to drag in a file, the file appears white/blank/empty, however the topbar says the file name so it is kind of opening the files, just blank if that makes sense The main issue lies within ArtCut not showing any files properly. I think either you have misunderstood or it was me not expressing myself correctly. (SignBlazer vector engine is mediocre at best).īut, let's leave the vectorization problem alone for now, and focus on getting the cutter to simply cut anything (a single typed letter 'Q').Īfter we establish the functionality of your mom's cutter and make sure it works at her home, then we can return to other things like image conversions. Honestly, if it's something that you do a lot of, then VinylMaster is a good investment for $60. The second issue is vectorizing images (raster graphics) and getting to paths for cutting.
#Use artcut 2009 with uscutter sc driver#
SignBlazer is a great tool to troubleshoot com setup and machine driver errors. Apparently, Artcut was failing at that, and no communication was being established. The first is getting the cutter to respond and cut anything at all. There are actually two different things being discussed here.
