Jimbug...no, my client isn't asking for anything other than what we've been doing. Since I'm running on Windows XP in order to stay with Corel 7 (I can really fly in that)...each time I go online I get the message that it XP is no longer supported. I'm concerned that I'm vulnerable to viruses...

I'm a small potatoes sole practitioner...love it that way. I'm part-time and basically cater to one great client now. I've got an old 4b that works great for cutting sandblast mask. Also, have a Graphtec 5000. I design in Corel 7 (I know, I know) and cut from Flexi. I used Corel 13 and...

Thanks a million for your suggestions.

I'm getting ready to try cutting sandblast mask with my CE5000-60. I know about using a 1.5 mm, 60 deg blade and the red tip blade holder and turning on Tangential Emulation. Does anyone have consistent success with cutting mask who can give me tips on how they do it before I plunge into this...

For anyone who is having trouble getting their Graphtec to cut what you are sending it from, say, Flexi....I just solved my problem by..... If you're going to use the cutter with a different cutting software, like Signblazer, Flexi, etc. the Command in the menu (on the plotter) must be on...

I need a case for sign brush storage that will hold oiled brushes securely without disturbing their shape. Any suggestions? o_O

I'm not that computer savy...vm is "virtual machine"? Yes, I have the disc and the install #.

Does anyone know if the Signmaker 4B will communicate with my pc on anything newer that Windows XP? I haven't updated my pc because I need this 4B for cutting sandblast mask .....does a perfect job on that too so I'm adjusting my system down to accommodate. I have a Graphtec CE5000-60 but I...

Cannot Open Port In the interest of helping someone else with this problem, I had a computer guy come to my shop. He had the issue resolved in, literally, 30 seconds. Click right on Program Manager icon, go to Properties, Operating System Compatability tab, UNCHECK Win 95 operating...

Found it. I had to select Gerber first and then the model was Thermazone. I think I had this struggle years ago and it has to be Thermazone...its worked for years that way anyway. Thanks.

Anybody know why Production Manager in Add Setup is not giving me the choice of :omg:Thermazone HPGL1? I've been using that designation for years to run my Gerber 4B and now having problems adding my Graphtec so was told to factory reset on Flexi8Starter. Now...Oh God, no!!! Thermazone is...

Does anyone know a source for this belt for the Gerber Signmaker 4B? It rotates the cutting blade.

Does anyone know why when I reconnected my Graphtec plotter to my pc after a move to another town, it doesn't work? I am using Flexi8 Starter to cut only (designed in Corel Draw), when I sent the file in Flexi to be cut from cut/plot window I get "Cannot Open Port". Additionally, I see the...

Thanks again, Fred. You guys are great.

Sorry, I used the wrong term....probably roller is the name.

My Hero!!! Thanks a million, again, Fred!! You saved my life once before in helping me get this set up years ago and again now. I opened Production Manager like you said, selected the plotter I'm using now, changed the port setting to 4 where the serial converter is and.....it worked!! I'm...

I got a new motherboard last year...now have no serial port for my Gerver IVb that I use to cut mask. I got a ugreen USB to Serial adapter, installed it, installed the drivers....nothing. I have the plotter on Com I where it is supposed to be. The converter is on 4 where I think it is ok to...

Really!! You cut with a friction feed? I have a Graphtec ce5000 so are you saying I can cut sandblast mask with it? I'm thinking I tried it years ago unsuccessfully but maybe I needed a different blade. What do you set the down force at? And where do you get the 60 deg blade? I've never...

So, what's the best way to cut mask now? I've been using an old 4b for 20 years and it works great.....is the sprocket fed still the best way?

Oh my!! Now what? I found out yesterday that I have NO expansion slots on my motherboard. Now what? I'm stumped. Anybody have any suggestions which way I should go now? I'm a one person shop and don't want to invest in expensive equipment for what I do. I use the Graphtec for general vinyl...
