Once my initial menu board is done, it may be 6 months before I fire up the cutter to add a new menu item. If it takes two weeks to cut the whole thing, that's fine with me.
And it doesn't need to be particularly fast. Again, I don't need a big thousand-dollar cutter that will cut vinyl, draw designs, play music, and serve three-course meals. Next, I assume that if I spend $400 for a 34" cutter, then it's not in the same league as a toy Cricut. My idea is that the price of the cutter would break even at the get-go, then any new menu items, future price increases, etc., would be pennies for the vinyl instead of dollars for a new menu item. I went to a couple of sign shops and got prices on cutting the vinyl for my menu board, and I found that I can get a 34" SC2 for about the same price as having a sign shop cut the vinyl for the initial board. Since my only use for this cutter is the creation of menu boards for carnival concession booths, the use of fonts is not just critical - it's absolutely required. I later upgraded to SCAL5 (not Pro) directly from Craft Edge (as suggested in USC's Aug 31 Webinar), which CAN use my system's fonts. The "will it or won't it work with a Mac" inconsistencies persist on their site, but I took the answer from support as true and bought the printer (it came with VM, which as far as I can tell, cannot use my system's fonts). I am working on getting this typo corrected thank you for bringing this to my attention." Depending on where I look on your site, the SC2 either will or won't work with a Mac." "I'm about to buy a vinyl cutter, and I've settled on your SC2, but I can't get consistent information about whether it will work with my Mac (iMac/ OSX 10.11 / 4GB memory). On March 7 e-mailed support with this question (Ticket 79538):
#Inkscape for mac 10.11.6 software
In February or March, 2018, the option to include SCAL software with the cutter was dropped from the order page. The OLD USCutter SC2 page offered SC2 with a choice of VM or SCAL. I can do better than a screen shot here are links to the actual USCutter pages (active 9/30/18) that say SC2 works with Macs:
One of those icons shows a paper & scissors - that is what you click on. On my version, between the menu at the top and the cutting mat is a space with picture icons. You DO NOT want to use the menu at the top to "file" & "print", repeat: do not do this! This is where your version of SCALP may be different from mine. Open up a shape or some such on the SCALP cutting mat (the grid you see on the computer screen). Unplug the USB, unplug the SC2 power cord, restart your computer, hook up USB, plug in and turn on the SC2.Īt this point I would be using plain paper and the pen tool, forget vinyl until the machine is being responsive. Which version of SCALP did you download? I have version SCALP3, so I am not sure about later versions - but here is what I will suggest: Did you purchase the machine directly from US Cutter, or from a 3rd party seller or off ebay? And you told them you were using a Mac? And they pushed VinylMaster on you? I have not seen on the site where Mac compatibility is shown.
