jx1060 help

[HGsignz]

I just bought this Jx1060 dinosaur and am having trouble with the print&cut feature. after 2 weeks of work, I finally got it to print, although the color is off compared to what's on my screen it does ok, and I can get it to cut. however can not print then cut
I was using LXI version 6 and after a few calls to signwarehouse was told to upgrade to version 8 to support the P&C function, so after the $400 upgrade I find out that the version 8 still does not support this and it can't be returned.
can anyone point me in the right direction cheaply? if not, this printer will be for sale
Thankz
Mike @ HGsignz

Didn't anyone tell you that It's not cheap to make signs?

the graphtec windows printer driver allows you to do all direct from corel etc.

To emulate an expensive RIP, first download the printer driver from http://www.graphteccorp.com/support/software/programs/ops628.htm or http://www.encad.com/Support/Printer Reference/NC.asp. After installing the driver,get familiarize with it, and try printing to file. Later send the file to the printer using the instruction of this website: http://www.mrkent.com/forms/tools/prntofile.htm. You will be amazed of the quality.
