I have this plotter, we've made tons of money on this unit....far superior than the Roland. It's a work horse. We downloaded the drivers from Graphtec and we learned to use CyberCut, which we thought was cheese at first...But once you learn it.... It's great.
But you can use Flexi or Cocut... OR something even cheaper...
try Sign tools 3.... $150.00 on ebay or an old version of Cyber cut.....i always see everyone tryin to pawn that software off.... But it works great... We design on corel and import to cyber-cut.....
