    or

    http://www.hflaser.com/download.html

    think this should sort the driver bit.

    As for the best software I only ever used flexi and signlab but I am not sure what more cost effective options there are out there. I am sure someone else might be more use with that!

    All the best

    VMP-vinyl master pro is very good and for the price £250 and iv seen it advertised for as little as £150 ! much cheaper than sign lab/flexi, i think you can still go to there web site and order a fully working demo disc, dont think the demo allows you to cut or save tho, depends what you want from your software tho ! most of mine is vehicles so it does everything i want it to do. 😛

    If you have corel I would get using it and you will soon learn! It is a good package for the job!
