As a merchant here I try to steer away from rocking the boat.
KPC, it appears you have spent quite a bit of time defending your position, right or wrong. But not once did you acknowledge my 2-3 posts which I think answered your question. Nor did you say if my or the other earlier posts were...
Keep one thing in mind too. Macs do not have parallel or serial ports - if that matters. Your equipment must be either usb or firewire - and firewire is mostly limited to video cameras and hard drives.
This sample shows the jpeg in the background (as a template) made lighter to make it easier to trace. The thin black lines are my vector paths so that this person can cut this out of vinyl or output at any size without a loss in quality.
Am I wasting my time on this thread? This seems to have strayed. Guess I should have read all the threads, thought I was being helpful. One last sample, maybe it will help another newbie.
BTW, my contour is just a sample to show you what a complex one would look like on screen and of course the file that I provided the customerwas a vector contour. They then used whatever sign software on hand and combined their jpeg file with my vector ai/eps file. It printed first and then was...
You will need to use your Corel software to draw around the jpg using the pen tool and precisely place points around the image that you would want the cutter to follow. Think of it as the dot to dots you played as a kid where after you were done you had an drawing - crude but similar in fashion...

From what I have read, you can hook up usb2 peripherals to usb1 ports, but they will only run at the slower speed.
You won't see the speed gains of usb2.
Fred, I have that exact monitor hooked up as a 2nd monitor for my Mac laptop. It hooks up via a dvi connection and I must say that the image is very good. I also have it hooked up to an old Blue and White G3 Mac via the 2nd port in the back which is vga. The DVI image is better, IMO
I did...
you would have to knock out the backgrounds. I don't think they release the images you see car dealers use in their ads to the general public. They are probably copyright and intended for marketing/newspaper/dealerships only.
