    Mac Software

    Posted by MarkB on 4 June 2006 at 18:55

    Good post BBQ evening,

    I have had the good fortune of a recent Mac purchase, I bought it to complement our litho business but would like to use the machine for the signs also, I seem to be going round in circles looking for software so could someone please point me in the right direction, I currnetly use Corel & LXi expert (all windows) to design and cut..

    Thanks

    Mark B

    We use illustrator on Macs but if you are used to Corel why not carry on with that?

    Corel have stopped development for Macs, I think at around version 11.
    We use a Mimaki plotter driven with their FineCut software directly from Illustrator CS2 on a Mac. Works great. Not sure if this software will drive any other makes. Roland also do Mac software running as an Illustrator plug-in…it’s a very similar type of setup. I think it’s called Roland CutChoice if my memory serves me.

    There are various programs to cut from mac, even there are a flexi for mac os x.

    we use macsign as we got it with our summa.

    however we also got flexi for os 9 and I think it’s better. Probably we´ll upgrade to the os x version.

    You could also check SignCut.

    They have a demo online but I have not checked it yet.
