It's sort of a test. You should be able to install it and figure out how to do what you whatever it is you want to do. The system is absurdly simple, easy as any to operate, and does pretty much everything you'd want to do, especially with cut vinyl.
With printing it's as good a RIP as any other [anticipating howls of outraged protest from those that are outraged because they don't know any better]. It's bitmap capabilities are somewhat limited but it's primarily a cut vinyl package. If you can't do this, you might give serious consideration to abandoning this endeavor and taking up tatting or something.
Using any media you have to know what you want to say. The only learning you should have to go through is learning how to say it in this environment. If you're looking for something to tell you what you want to say, you perhaps should serve an apprenticeship with someone who does know what to say.
Sorry them's the cold hard facts.
