Vista Compatability

[jbona75]

I was considering purchasing the Roland SP-300 printer/cutter, but after several helpful replies from this forum, am now considering starting smaller (due to budget restraints) and with a Roland GX-300 cutter. Is this a good starting point for someone cutting their teeth in the industry? Also, I have Windows Vista Home Basic. Will a Roland GX-300 cutter be compatable, or will I have to upgrade my OS? Again, thanks for all the help...

What software will you be using? versions?

I currently am using a Roland GX24 cutter with both Illustrator and CUt Studio and have no problems just need to download the right driver. If you want check out rolanddg.com to see if the program you are going to use( whatever comes with the roland you are buying) is available with Vista

Thanks for the replies...I'll be using Photoshop and Illustrator, along with the software that comes with the cutter.

No biggie... I know that CS3 will work, but you will need to find out if your cutter software is compatible.

Then you need to find out what comes with the Cutter there is a plugin for Illustrator to cut right from there. It is really cool and easy to use.
