I determined that FlexiSign Pro would be the best software to use to get this cutter to do what I wanted (might as well go big or go home).įlexiSign Pro (or just Flexi as most call it) has tons of features but was it going to support my Chinese-made-in-a-sweat-shop cutter?

I recently thought it would be cool to get a personal cutter for some projects I have been working on.
