anyone know on the VE Master+ question above? Thanks, Matthew BlackIceFX

that is definately the blade protection strip

I've used a Stika-15 with Dr. Stika for quite some time. I finally upgraded to a 40" VE Panter. However, I had tried to play with the Dr. Stika program on other machines. I have yet to find a successful combination. I think you may be out of luck. I'd switch to Corel with SignTools3...

Does anyone know if this cutter will work with VE Master+ 7.5? Thanks, Matthew BlackIceFX

I have a hand-me-down SummaCut D15. It has a security dongle that for some reason won't work on anything other than Windows 98. Seeing as all of my machines are setup with XP, I REALLY don't want to have to setup a 98 machine or a dual boot. Any ideas how to get this thing working on a newer...

ok.... attempt #3? Matthew BlackIceFX

oops, sorry... attempt #2 Matthew BlackIceFX

I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum for this, but can anyone ID this font? The customer wants additional lettering. She provided me this text in a vector file already but the lettering is already converted to outlines. Thanks, Matthew BlackIceFX

congrats robat! I remember making my first sign. It was awesome! It was also for a friend's vehicle and I remember seeing it pass me on the freeway and I felt so proud. Anyway, regarding the roller marks on the vinyl, I recommend only using pinch rollers on the two ends of the vinyl. The...

sorry, ditto to the previous post. Corel will cut directly to the stika. You just need to install Signtools3 i believe to allow the cutter to read from the corel program. Just google it. You can get a free 30 day trial and then you need to purchase it. Purchase price, last time I checked...

go to Roland's site and download the latest drivers for the Stika. When you do the install of the driver, you'll have a dropdown menu of SX-8/12/15. Select your device. Next you will have a choice of ports through which the device will be connected. Select your USB port from your ports...

I've had a SX-15 for years before I finally got my VE 40" cutter... talk about an upgrade. Anyway, for the SX-15 you should use Dr. Stika as it is the native cutting program for the Stikas... however, it is proprietary and anything you create in the program will be forever unreadable by other...

sorry to double post, but the security dongle for usb usage costs $299 and I'd really like to avoid having to purchase another dongle...

I purchased a 40" vinyl express Panther vinyl cutter about a year ago. Due to school, I've had to put my signmaking on a part time basis, using simply my 15" roland and a 15" summa. (This of course limits the size of the jobs I could do!) Well, now the semester is nearly over and I have...

Your vector image! Here is the vectorized version of the logo. The font I used is Palatino Linotype. Of course, this is with very amateurish kerning. I have attached a pdf. Let me know if you need the ai or eps files also. Matthew BlackIce FX I invested all of 3 minutes to this, so it may...

Not to thread-jack, but I have seen most of my competitors using copyrighted characters and graphics. (i.e. taz, mickey mouse, movie logos, etc) When questioned, they admitted that they had no licensing to be creating or reselling these graphics. How is this possible? I want to stay...

I might be a little late on this one, but for simple 'crafty' projects, I highly recommend the Stika 15" cutter. It uses a very basic Dr. Stika software that allows you to create pretty much any graphics that you'd like. It isn't the most involved or professional but it definately gets the job...
