You might get the tire changed, but not without serious aggravation and possible injury. Why not just use one of those? Using Photoshop for vinyl graphics is like trying to change a flat tire with a hammer & chisel. Some prefer photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint or even PaintShop Pro. The first question we should answer is the most obvious why buy LXi? Lots of people use other applications for vector graphics like CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator. If your question involves both, CorelDRAW and your plotter, there are many of us on this forum that can help you, as there are plenty of sign people here.FIG 1: LXI includes tools for optimizing the performance of your vinyl cutter So, anytime you have any questions, regarding CorelDRAW X4, feel free to post here, and someone will surely help answer your question.

But I do not see the ProCut CR630 in their catalog. One question, did you get any software with your plotter? Signwarehouse has their own branded Flexi software, named VE LXI, that they use to drive their plotters. I use CorelDRAW, also for other purposes (like Direct to Garment Printing, vinyl signs, advertising layout, etc.) Then I use a third party software that I can invoke, directly from DRAW, to cut the vinyl, one color at a time (or even all colors at once, if necessary). When I have to generate the artwork for vinyl cutting (from a scan, photo, poor bitmap, etc.) I use corel to get everything converted to vectors and to the desired scale. I do most of my text only layouts with it and use that to drive the cutter. When I got it, it had a package, VE LXI, that drove the plotter. Many moons ago, I, also, bought a cutter from Signwarehouse. WRONG!! please someone, if you know of tutorials or can shed some light on the subject for me, I would really appreciate it. I know.no one has to say it.I probably got in over my head, but i honestly figured that since I am an avid user of Corel photo XI that corel draw would not be that different. Not only that, but i do not know how to make it do multiple colors so i can cut them out.

I mean.I want to be able to print wall art in specific sizes, and am not sure how to make corel draw do it for me. now.I went into corel draw x4 (just got it) and I do not even know how to make things the size I want. I am new to vinyl sign making and decals, and thought it would be a great idea to get a cutter and do it am sure it will be a great idea, but now that i hav ordered the cutter and vinyl, I realize that i MAJORLY jumped the gun and have no clue what I am doing!! I ordered a pro cut 630 24', and a bunch of vinyl from the tools, premask and premasker etc.
