    Elly, you will need to be a bit more specific about the sort of help you need, if you have done a test cut was that after hooking it up to the computer or was that just on the machine itself? If you are having a problem connecting it to the computer have a read through the posts about vinyl cutters/plotters as one of them explains how to set up a Chinese machine bought from ebay.

    If you read through the rest of the plotter posts there may also be some other help for you

    Pleased to hear that it was some help to you Elly, as for computers I am lucky enough to have a few so there is never a problem for me getting on a computer or on the internet. My youngest is 15 and when she is at my house she is on a computer constantly so if I only had the one there would be times when I couldn’t get near it for days :lol1: :lol1:
