Print & cut also works very well from coreldraw since it will print both bitmaps and vectors to just about any device, simply create the cuts as a contour on a separate layer print one layer and cut the other, registration is accomplished by drawing a bounding box (rectangle) on both the print layer and the cut layer (bigger than the objects), and use it to register under the knife, then with the cutting software simply autopanel to all objects with 0 offset. I think any cutting program in the 200 - 500 range would be a good buy to work alongside coreldraw. I don't think I would want to cut directly from coreldraw, but I certainly would not recommend spending a lot on a cutting program, since we use them like glorified print drivers.

I do like having some of the features of a cutting program, ease of tiling, paneling, repositioning by color, are done faster/easier in signmate than in coreldraw. IMHO corel draws circles (pun)around signlab for design, so we end up doing ALL design in corel draw and cutting with signmate lite. We have signmate lite, signlab 5.0 and coreldraw in our shop.

He did point out a few shortcomings with Corel, but there appears to be a workaround for all of them. He said a 'real' sign shop uses 'real' sign shop software.

Perhaps the corel draw sign plug in does this, I don't know. With Corel Draw, you will have to do it manually. Many sign programs will automatically 'squash' or fit your cut material to the specific size vinyl you are using.

Once you get through rememering how to set things up it should be a breeze. I don't understand why you would need to purchase any additional program. I can (and do) cut directly from corel draw 10 to a roland pnc1000 and a roland pc-60.

Posted by Randy Campbell (Member # 2675) on Ap01:48 PM: I've never actually done it but I've read some posts here from people saying that cutting straight from Corel with a Roland works really well. I'm just wondering why your looking for something better. I've thinking about getting a Roland (might be starting my own shop) because of what I've read here about cutting straight from Corel. I design in Corel 9 & cut with Gerber software & plotter. Hate to answer a question with a question but: This doesn't increase my confidence level.ĭoes anyone have some real in depth experience with these, or any other plugins? I also have to keep in mind that I can get a discounted version of Flexisign (middle version)for $895. I e-mailed them and never received a response. It's fairly simple, but I got a couple of fatal errors in Corel while using it. I had pretty much the same situation and feeling with Cadlink's ES Shortcut for $350. I tried Co Cut, but they didn't include a help file so I had to struggle trying it out. If there are others I sure would like to know about them. I've been trying to find something better than using CorelDRAW with Roland drivers.
