  1. I sold my KNK 9″ and can’t find the install CD for it. I do have the dongle and the number is on it…what does the person i sold to have to do to get it up and running on her computer. I’ve never used it and it came with 1 hour of training with you. Has that expired or can I pass it on to the new owner? Thanks.

  2. Hi Frankie,

    You can pass it on to the new owner. Also, send me the dongle number… the number ending in H and I’ll get license files generated for the new owner. My email is smccauley45@cox.net.

  3. Hi,I just installed KNK software(I’ve owned KNK Maxx for about 4 years) into my new computer, but didn’t come with drivers. I tried installing the drivers from knkusa.com, but still not working. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you for any help you can give me, Dina

  4. Hi Sandy

    I have read that you can print using the KNK Zing. Is that true? I was underthe impression that you can only cut with the machine.

    Thanks

  5. You can insert pens and markers directly into the grip on the Zing and draw with them.

  6. Groove E Machine – KNK Studio Maxx and an option on the color pallet – Find Color – Look in vinyl Library and a Foil library … when I click on either option it is empty. Is that part of the software? I’m moving into vinyls and foils and would love to have access to something like that. Thanks – Sandra

  7. Hi Sandra! Let me look over this tomorrow. KNK Studio is based on a much more expensive program called Sign Lab. Some of the features in KNK Studio do not work because they are actually part of this bigger version. However, there could be some features that are accessible to you and will help you with your business. I’ll send you a private email with more details.

  8. Hi Sandy, It’s been a while. But all is well. I do have a few questions….I would like to know how I would bo about getting Vector images? do I need to purchase the software? and I was watching one of your toutorials where you were able to easliy select the colours sircles by color which made the two colour rhinestone designs very easr. I do not have that function…Do I have to create a shortcut key? Thanks for your assistance, as always.

  9. Hi Sandy, I purchased a used knk maxx the other week but no luck trying to upload software onto the computer, after i keyed in activation pin and personal details,a message appeared: there was a problem while reactivating your product. Pls call tech support. I have conversed with Chad and he said he sent details to CADlink and that I should receive new pin within 24hrs. It has been a week now and no email from cadlink. I have emailed chad twice more in the last couple days but no response. Can you help please. Thank you

  10. I have notified Chad about this again. I wish I had some control over this, but I do not.

  11. Yes, it does! It also comes with a $300 bonus package of extra blades, accessories, craft supplies, and cutting materials. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

  12. At this time, I don’t believe there are any Mac based programs that will work with the KNK Element. You will need to use a Windows emulator (e.g. Parallels, BootCamp) and a copy of Windows so that you can install KNK Studio, Make The Cut, or Funtime for cutting to your Element.

  13. Hi Sandy, I purchased a KNK XL years ago but my computer crashed the other day. My new laptop is a 64bit system. is their new software to run on 64bit?
    Thanks

  14. Hi Susan!

    I recommend Version 8 and you can download it from this link:

    http://www.iloveknk.com/Support/Software/KNK-Studio-V8-for-Older-KNKs/

    Please be sure to read the instruction file before you begin… just the part about downloading and installing. You’ll need to get YOUR two Products files from your original CD. Don’t try to install that version… just use Explorer to find BOTH files and copy/paste them into your new c:\Klic-N-Kut Studio after installation, replacing the ones that are there. Then your dongle will work! : )

    Then you’ll also want to install the latest driver for your KNK. Download the 3th file here (1st and 2nd Generation)

    Then use the video here to find the Com Port:

    Finally, I urge you to go through the Default Settings video here, as well:

  15. Sorry for the delay in responding. You can use the Cricut bladeholder in the Zing, but you cannot put Cricut blades into the Zing blade holder. It can only use Zing blades.

  16. Hi,
    My old laptop crashed and I got a new one. I have my klic-n-kut studio ge dongle, but I can’t find my cd. Is there any way I can get the software loaded on my new laptop without buying it again?
    Thanks,
    Amber

  17. Hi, I am used to working with a draw program with multiple toolbars arranged around the window for easy access to the tools I need. I am currently using Make the Cut software with my Zing and am happy with the functionality it has, but I would love to be able to arrange multiple toolbars around the window on my screen for easier access to tools. Is there any way to do this within MTC? If not, would I be able to do this with KNK Studio and would I be able to cut from KNK Studio on my Zing? Thank you so much for the wealth of info on your site- I really appreciate your MTC/Zing online users manuel and use it all the time. Thank you for your time!

  18. Hi,

    Does the new KNK Maxx Air 24″ only come with MTC software? Or,is KNK Studio available for it too? For my purposes, KNK Studio would suit my needs better.

    Thank you!

  19. Currently the Maxx Air 24″ does only come with MTC, however contact me again in the new year. We DO plan to have KNK Studio working with the Maxx Air and it will be a new version!

  20. Hi Sandy, hope you are doing very well. Do you have any info on installation and other detail for the new Max Air? I can only find the older manual. I would appreciate anything. Thank you!

  21. I purchased a Zing cutter and was told that I had to have the Artistic Crystal Software to cut for crystals. I was also told Artistic Crystal could be used to cut vinyl. The cutter did not come with any software and after checking different web sites I see there is another software Make the Cut. Do I need this software to cut vinyl? I haven’t used the cutter, have just gotten it installed. What should I do?

  22. You can use Make The Cut for designing and cutting rhinestone patterns. Artistic Crystals has more fill patterns and the editing is easier, but there are lots of Zing owners using Make The Cut instead. You can use either program for cutting vinyl, although Make The Cut is probably better suited for that. Be sure to check out the Zing support page here as the documentation provided from Janome for the Zing is somewhat limited. You’ll learn a lot more about your Zing from reading the Zing User Manual and watching all of the Zing videos. Here’s the link: http://www.iloveknk.com/support/zing/

  23. Good Morning

    Please explain how to copy file from klic n kut program on computor to flash disk
    Is there a video illustrating it

    thanks
    george

  24. Hi George,

    There is no difference between doing this from KNK Studio and most other Windows applications. Go to File>Save As and then browse to locate your flash drive. Name the file and save it. Alternatively, if the file is already saved on your C drive, you can use Windows Explorer to copy and paste it to your flash drive. If you need more help, please send an email to: smccauley45@cox.net.
