I have a Vinyl Express R Series II cutter that I bought some time ago. I have never seemed to get the hang of using it. The LXI software seems difficult to learn to me.
I presently use the Cameo a lot which to me is so much easier to learn to use. Of course it doesn't cut as large a design as the Vinyl Express machine. I was wondering if Sign Blazer would work with this Vinyl Express R Series II cutter and if Sign Blazer is very hard to learn to use? Thanks for any information on this. Vickyon signblazer I would try the roland pnc 1000 drivers - it was pretty generic back in the day - as far as vinyl express it is really easy as most real sign programs - the only thing with people that come from the cameo world is they are usually crafters and programs like scalp that have other issues are easier for them to learn as they are similar in design as it was originally designed as a cricut hack. I just had to replace my vinyl cutter and I ended up purchasing the UScutter SC but I can not get my signblazer to reconize the cutter. When I first plugged my cutter into the computer It worked.

I set the setting for the cutter as follows: Cutter - Li-YuHF-1202 and plugged in the usb and it all worked great the first day. The second day I turned the cutter on and went to cut something and it was not connected to the computer so I plugged in the serial port plug and it didnt work and so I messed around with different settings and different ports for the usb and I got it to work. I came back the next day, turned it on and it would not connect and nothing I did would work so I called Uscutters support and they told me that there is nothing I can do because signblazer outdated.
I understand that but PLEASE someone give me some good news and tell me that I can still use signblazer. I HATE 'sure cuts alot' and all my files for the last 8 years are eps files. My cutting machine came with 'vinylmastercut' but I can't save my files as eps and make it easy for me to locate an cut that file again with ease. CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ANY KIND OF ADVICE?ThanksPatty. No one can help you when you do not provide any info to help you.No mention of which cutter on which operating system. No mention of how the cutter is connected to your computer, Serial, or USB?
No mention of which drivers you downloaded.Serial will always be better. And if it is a value cutter, a Tripp lite Keyspan Adapter (that is the brand name) is much better over the cheap chipset that are in the cheap Chinese cutters. Is the cutter new or used? If used, did you see the cutter working fine, before you purchased it?.
Help yourself and provide important info. So ive read through this long thread that goes back 7 years!!I have a 5 year old MH871 that hasnt been used in 3 years.
Been kept in climate controlled storage. I did replace the motherboard on it at one time. That being said, the PC I had it on is no longer working.I have downloaded SB onto my Windows 7 (64 bit) LaptopI am using a USB to Serial adapter as my laptop does not have a serial port#1 is it going to work on 64 bit, I read somewhere that it may not be compatible#2 how do I know if my motherboard is deadI have gotten as far as pressing CUT and it 'sends to cutter' but nothing happensIm on Comm 2 and have it set to 9600 along with the SB software and the MH871 itselfThanks in advance for your help.
