I use signcut x2 with corel to cut vinyl decals and to make signs. Does anyone out here know of any other programs like signcut x2 that works with corel? Incase someone don't understand this question corel is not used or made to send directly to a vinyl cutter. Many people make things in corel and then send to signcut x2 then cut the vinyl. Reason I am asking is signcut you don't ever own you lease it. I pay 54.00 a year. Not real bad but I would like to have one that works good that I can own. I know a lot of you here do other things with corel than cut vinyl. Have a good day!
I've been sending direct to a Roland Camm-1 cutter for 6 years using its free windows print driver.
I can also send to a Roland SP540-V, right from Draw, using its Print driver.
There are other progs like
cocut
Cutmate 2
finecut
sign tools
I'm sure there is software that can driver your cutter without you being nickled and dimed forever...

what do you mean windows free driver for your roland? Where did you get that? Did it come with your roland? I use a UScutter laser point 24 and XP pro but cannot seem to set up corel to cut with it I don't think so any way you have any input for me on how to driver my uscutter?

It is a print driver made by Roland for that unit... :-D. You access it like any other print driver in Coreldraw's print engine pick list.

Yes, came with and also you can get from roland's site.

Contact the manufacturer and tell them to get their act together like Roland has.
Would you buy a new car, and be seriously aggravated to learn that a steering wheel is an option?
A driver is essential to use the device you bought. It's nutz to pay every year, or even once for something so basic. people have been cutting vinyl with these types of units since Windows 3.1 in 1992. Maybe even since DOS days?
Sooooo... it can't be rocket science to make a driver. Esp. since systems of that era with only 4 MB of RAM could drive these units!
If I were you I'd be furious - it's a cash grab IMO.
the us cutter refine mh 721 can be used with the drivers from the roland site download drivers for Roland camm-1 pnc-1000 however i have not bin able to control the cutter corectley at this time but us cutter told me that the pnc-1000 driver would work with any cutting program that did not have us cutter drivers in it
