    Lucy, I think it would be more a question of does Signblazer have a driver for it?
    Either way it should run on the basic HPGL setting.

    Signblazer is no longer marketed or supported so I wouldn’t base a cutter purchase around the software.

    I just bought one last month and am using Corel 12 to design, it does come with its own output software (I think that’s what I mean) Cutting Master 2 1.60
    If I can use this thing anyone can. And I can almost use it.
    (my 14 year old was a great help, he put it together and we watched the training CD together)
    Love….Jill

    Lucy
    be it Corel or other software you are going to have to learn how to use it & connect it, dedicated sign software doesn’t do it for you either.

    I think there’s a package called Coral Co-cut that’ll run it. About £300 I think.

    Mine came (new) with two CDs:
    Graphtec CE5000 Series User Guide (I believe it has a download-able manual but I haven’t done that yet)
    And the Graphtec 5000 Series Training CD, which was very helpful, with both written instructions and videos.
    I still can’t figure some things out.
    Love….Jill

    If you already use Corel for your designs then download Cutting Master 2 Plug In for CorelDraw,

    For Windows: Cutting Master 2 version 1.60 (67.8MB)

    found under…

    http://www.craftrobostore.com/craftrobodownloads.html

    (towards bottom of page) Craft ROBO Pro Downloads

    This will add the plug in to CorelDraw under the launcher rocket icon, you can then cut directly to the Graphtec CE5000.

    There used to be a link on the Graphtec USA site for all the Cutting Master 2 versions but i can’t seem to find them now, I’m using the Robo one without any problems.

    Hope this helps

    Alex.

    Hi

    This machine will work with signblazer, as I remember there actual machine is not listed but if you use the CE3000-60 driver it will work. I also agree with previous comments, avoid using signblazer as there is no longer any support and once uninstalled it is impossible to reactivate it.

    Cheers
