Vinyl4 Vinyl Cutter -- Firmware / Drivers Index

Inventory of Windows printer drivers, the SAi FlexSTARTER plugin, and related software from the local cncu.co.za mirror under T:\U\C\Vinyl4-Vinyl-Cutting-Plotter\, mapped to live https://cncu.co.za/... URLs.
English prose only. No pricing. Driver binaries / EXEs / ZIPs / APKs themselves are not copied into this KB (pointer + URL only), except the tiny FlexSTARTER .enc plugin.

Line status: Vinyl4 (Hobby / Studio / Business) supersedes V-Series for new sales. Keep V-Series knowledge for existing machines (drivers/vseries-drivers-index.md, machinery/v-series-phased-out.md). Official range pages: https://vinyl4.com/hobby · https://vinyl4.com/studio (GET HTTP 200; HEAD 405). Operation manual hub: https://vinyl4.com/manual (GET HTTP 200).

There is no controller firmware tree on this product. Local Firmware/ and Firmwares/ are absent; live both return HTTP 404. This file is a drivers index named firmware-index to match the Vinyl4 dest convention.

What these drivers are

Vinyl4 talks to Windows as a USB printer-class device (UniDrv stack: InstallPrinterD.dll + CutToolPro.exe + InstallDriver\ unidrv files). There is no year-sticker USB/COM family split like V-Series (no CH341 / PL2303 / STM VCP tree in this folder).

Prefer the 2024 ZIP packages over the 2016 standalone EXEs (newer wins inside the same x64/x86 family). Wrong-arch install can leave the cutter invisible -- only when support directs. Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.
