Equipment/Foison C48 Vinyl Cutter

= Oberview = The Foison C40 vinyl cutter is a 40 inch vinyl cutter. The vinyl cutter executes HPGL instructions sent by a computer.

To use the vinyl cutter on Windows, a driver needs to be installed to drive the vinyl cutter's CH340 USB to serial chip. We have had success sending SVG files to the vinyl cutter using the InkScape open source drawing package, which has a built in capability to send HPGL data to the cutter.

The Foison vinyl cutter requires a driver for the CH340 USB to serial chip.
