Title: Anyone experienced with Roland Cutters?
Post by: Skifledanabit on September 25, 2011, 07:22:44 PM
Just got hold of a PNC-1000, having major issues trying to get it communicating with my computer, did a bit of research and to use it on windows 7, you need to use the GX-24 driver or something.

Got Roland cutstudio etc, but when I press cut, I get nothing, just cues up in the print log and no movement on the cutter.

Might have to try that, but your PC recognises the cutter doesn\'t it?

If I understand this we\'re talking a Roland vinyl cutter, if so you may get help here.

http://www.uksignboards.com/

I don\'t use, or like the site much but it may help.

failing that talk to Simon @

http://www.spire-digital.co.uk/

You could mention John from Signcraft suggested the call, but he might hang up.

If he can\'t help ask him for Brian Peckham\'s number, he worked at Roland for many years, again use me as a link.

Hope this helps.

John

I found them all a bit \'Look what I\'ve done\' and clicky but you may find the answer there.
