Casmate Pro Plotter Drivers5/10/2021
Your first stop is the cutter manufacturer to find out for certain what they support natively.Currently he is using CorelDraw 11 to Cut the signs, which I am not familiar with at.all., and I was wondering if one of the Adobe CS apps are able to perform this action instead.
I am familiar with the entire CS Suite, so it would be much easier for me to teach him how to do things, etc. Also if Corel is the only option here, anybody have any tutorial reccommendations, maybe video CDs online, or other things Thanks in advance, Ken. Just wanted to say that Ill also be watching this thread closely. Ive had a home-based hobby computer-cut vinyl signmaking business for nearly 15 years. Believe it or not, it was run off a 1991 Amiga 2000 with an aftermarket 68030 board running at a blazing 25MHz. Seriously, it cost like 6000 when it was new Anyways, my Amigas hard drive finally gave up the ghost last Christmas, taking tens of MEGAbytes of my hard work with it. Yes I mean MEGAbytes. ![]() ![]() Id be curious to see if there are any shareware Mac-based vinyl-cutting programs out there, just to see how they would drive my old Roland CAMM-1. Casmate Pro Plotter Software Fully SupportedBTW, the standard language for such things is HPGL which my SignEngine Amiga software fully supported, now updated to HPGL-2. My cutter also speaks DMPL but Im not sure it was ever as popular as HPGL. Note thats the serialparallel communication language that the computer uses to talk to the cutter, it is not a file format. Im honestly not sure what todays standard 2-D plotting file format might be. Casmate Pro Plotter Mac OS X 10Click to expand. NCS MagiSign plug-in drives more than 350 models of cutting plotters directly from Adobe Illustrator 10, CS and CS 2 running on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger). It includes recent as older models from Roland, Graphtec, Summa, Mutoh, Ioline, Anagraph, Zund, Aristo, GCC, etc. NCS MagiSign runs on any G3, G4 or G5 PowerMac as runs over MacIntel through Rosetta without known problems (note: Adobe Illustrator CS2 is not universal so you need more RAM memory in this case). Older versions of our products were compatible with older Mac and older versions of Adobe Illustrator (from 1996). Casmate Pro Plotter Drivers To DriveNCS MagiSign includes its own USB drivers to drive as fine as possible cutters like Summa or Graphtec over Mac OS X versions described above. NCS MagiSign allows to drive many brand of old cutters build with only serial port through Keyspan Serial adapter and the appropriate serial cable for the cutting plotter. I keep myself at your disposal for any further info Best regards Philippe JACQUES. Click to expand.Keyspan, IIRC, has both USB-ADB and USB-RS422 convertors that are compatible with a broad range of devices, but YMMV As far as Corel vs. Illustrator goes - it all comes down to what the cutters software expects to see as import files. If it only takes a CDR file, or ony includes a driver that is compatible with Corel, then you have to use Corel, or find third party sofware that translate you.AI file or act as a substitute driver. Depending on the quality of that software, there may be file translation or driver issues that consume a lot of time to troubleshoot, or it may be easy.
