Using a vinyl cutter conveniently also requires an easy to use software solution. We offer our customers multiple possibilities to control their Secabo vinyl cutter.
Secabo offers free printer drivers for all cutting plotters from the CI to CIII-series for Windows (32 Bit) for problem-free use with, for example, CorelDRAW version 10 onwards.
With this type of plotter software, the installation of a corresponding driver is necessary to recognize the Secabo cutting plotter as a printer in the operating system. This allows graphics to be sent directly from the graphic software, such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand.
Cutting a job is performed by clicking \"print\" in the file menu in your graphic software. Cutting parameters can be set in the printer driver itself.
Plugins are enhancement solutions for an already used and established graphics software. Graphic software or application instructions are usually given as shortcuts or short commands such as Plot/Cut, for example, activating the cutting software. Then the cutting parameters are chosen and the instruction is carried out. The advantage of plugins is similar to that of a printer driver that is directly available without any adjustments necessary in a new application environment.
For Mac-users - Secabo offers Signcut productivity pro Secabo edition plugins for adobe illustrator for all cutting plotters in the CIII-series (from Mac OS 10.3). This Pligin is fundamentally also available for Windows Operating systems (e.g. Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 32 and 64 Bit) and works perfectly in conjunction with CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator as well as Inkscape.
SignCut Productivity Pro supports 19 languages and offers many additional features such as cut optimization, knife offset correction, auxiliary markings or a sectional preview.
