About FlexiSign

BLOG UNDER CONSTRUCTION
don't you worry guys, i'll update this everytime I have time ^.~
feel free to comment for questions or suggestions of topics <3


Hi! for those who just started a tshirt printing business using vinyl transfer, and you just realized that you need the software called "FlexiSIGN", I will try to share you some of the things that I think may help you a lot in getting familiar with the software. :) I'm a filipino, and I am not that good in english :) Sorry for my grammars. :)


FLEXISIGN
 What's this thing?

 - it is the software we are going to use to cut/transfer your layout to vinyl transfer.
 - not all brands of cutter plotters use this software. Some cutters use Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator in cutting their vinyls. Depends on your cutter plotter. Mine needs this software.

 - here in our country, Philippines, when you are going to buy a cutter plotter, ..

GOOD NEWS! it is already part of the package. They will provide the software installer and a usb dongle? (i dont know what they call that) but that's what it looks like. That usb is used for software to work.


 BAD NEWS, it is in Starter version. :( Some features are not available.


This is what it looks like

 + 


A CD installer, and a USB dongle provided by the seller when you buy a cutter plotter. when you open open the CD's casing, you will see combination of letters and numbers written in a small piece of paper. That's the LICENSE KEY.


Oh! I forgot! They are also going to give another CD for cutter plotter. It's for the installation of the cutter plotter in your computer. Don't get me wrong. Installer of software is different from installer of cutter plotter. So that 2 is very important :) 


INSTALLATION

-before the installation, make sure you have this ALL.
CUTTER PLOTTER
OFCOURSE!
Make sure it is connected at the CPU's USB ports at the



YOUR COMPUTER :)
wherein you are going to install the software

DVD ROM
Make sure it is connected to your Desktops computer USB ports at the BACK.
It may not work if its just connected in the front part of the CPU :)


USB CONNECTORS
it is already included with the cutter plotter.
note: if your computer still does not recognize the cutter plotter even after the installtion,
try using another one. I tried my printer's usb cable, and it solved my problem.
CUTTER PLOTTER INSTALLER
I'll show you the guide in installation later :)


SOFTWARE INSTALLER
Dont forget the USB dongle huh!
I can provide the pro version ill give you the link as we proceed :)


INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (Starter Version)
-Since its been a long time since  I last installed the Starter Version, i can't guarantee if i can give you the right procedures ^^ I almost forgot them :) it would be better to search in another sites. :)
but even if you don't search the web, just connect all the needed components, and follow the installation instructions there. and you will succeed in installation. :)


INSTALLING THE CUTTER PLOTTER



STEP 1
 - Insert the cutter plotter's CD
