Hi Peter,
I really hope you can shed some light on this one for me.
I am a complete beginner for thinking this was going to be easy.
I got my cutter last year and have been getting things together i.e setting up my business. I have just come to start using the cutter along with coreldraw X3, I have text laidout to "Print" using the right sized media etc.
Am i a complete spanner for thinking i can just "Print" or do i need to export the text/image in order for it to be cut.

Sorry for such a novice question.. 😳 😕

Sent another PM to you Jo-Ann

Hello Neil,
Thanks, i did try to reply but i can’t PM The link take me to a page displaying "Page not found" 🙁

[Chris Wool]

the driver should show up in the printer list, select it and set the page size in its properties say 2000 x 575mm

select this printer in corel and match the page size.
any vector object on the page with a black hairline outline will be cut in the position it is on that page.

If you have a Graphtec get the ‘cutting Master’ plugin for X3 it is readily downloadable and will add a cutting option under the ‘application launcher’ icon. This launch cutting Master where yyou will have many additional features from automatic weld of same colour graphics to weed boarder options.
