SCAL5 and multiple Silhouette cutters

Post by AnnaCutts »

Hello! I am just trying out SCAL5 as an alternative to Silhouette Studio. I find SS very annoying to use because it's very laggy. Anyway - my workflow requires me to use multiple cutting machines at once. I have to run 9 simultaneously. Is there multiple cutter support in SCAL5? I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer.

No. Because SCAL5 only searches for a single USB connection of that type, there's no way to control which Cameo you're sending to. You'll have to continue using Silh Studio.

There ARE other cutters that will work, like the new StarCraft SOLO which connects via 4 different ways to your computer and one of those, Wi-Fi, allows you to open multiple instances of SCAL5 and then set different IP Addresses for each cutter. The SOLO is also much faster and more accurate in its cutting, but I realize you must have already invested in the 9 Cameos?
