before anyone makes fun of me. yes i'm new to the sign and sticker making trend. ok i had a friend that makes sign give me his old Roland cutter. i think its a pnc-950 but not sure here is a picture of it. he had 3 of them and only use 2 of them and is getting a newer one as well. i'm wanting to see if i can get it to work on win7. i have no drivers for the cutter. he didn't have anything for it beside the cutter. i already had all the cables so that was taken care of. so if anyone can help that would be great. thanks again.

You need to look on the service tag on the back of the machine and get the model number. Then go to rolands site and download the drivers for the machine. then install them. then get a vector based design program and learn to use it(this is the part that stops 99% of the populace from entering this trade as it is not necessarily easy). Then go buy some vinyl and premask. then you need to learn to use the machine by downloading the users manual from the aforementioned roland site. Practice this for a couple of weeks and then come back and ask intelligent questions here.

thank you Round man. i downloaded the free trial of sign lab 9. to tinker with. i designd a sticker for a friend of mine just to see if i could do anything. the only tag on the back of the machine is these. thanks for the advice. yea i can see why 99% of people stop when it comes to the designing part. i found a driver for the pnc-950 but its for XP. wonder if it would work on win7.

What a minute. I answered to soon. That was about a driver, I'm not too sure about that. Software maybe, but I don't know about the drivers.

This is more than a sign and sticker trend. Some of us are making our living at it and hope to be in business for years to come.

Well I guess you are out of luck, that old cutter is not supported anymore, that's most likely why you got the cutter for FREE. You will need a computer running XP to drive it.

By the way, you have posted two photos, and both times you have done it wrong, and the admin. had to fix, please READ the photo posting rules and do it correctly next time.

Thanks
