Does this machine accept designs from computer software such as adobe illustrator, Hallmark studio or printmaster?

Yes, the file that is created just needs to be saved as an svg file. I have created several files with Adobe Illustrator and then cut them out with the sizzix.

Yes, the software has a great trace feature that let's you cut almost any shape or logo imaginal. I constantly import silhouettes that I find online and cut out all kinds of shapes and logos.

It works with most any software, yes. It works - but not well - with GIMP, but it works just fine with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Yes the machine is capable of doing all you can draw in the computer. It deals with images treated specifically to be carved. So you can design anything and it will carve them and a way like a dot matrix printer. I used only one type of bits for wood and did many projects some of them calligraphy. the result was always more than expected. In the other hand, it remains very slow, noisy and excel as a hobby only.

Thank you for your interest in our products. We provide a software that you can install on your computer and design the images then burn to a regular CD. Then you can use that CD as the master disc for printing.

8 isn't that bad, but some software isn't compatible with it. I use Wilcom Bernina Sewing software to digitize machine embroidery designs, I have version 6, windows 8 isn't compatible with it, so I had to keep an older lap top to run Wilcom. It does take some getting used to, but I also use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, the full suite...and this PC runs it great, no lag time at all.

No. This is only PhotoShop. It does NOT include Illustrator, and other programs. To get all the programs you would have to buy a suite such as the Master Collection. However, since Adobe went to the CC Digital online suite with a monthly/annual subscription, you may have difficulty finding the full suite for sale.

it comes with some software like Anime Studio Debut, corel painter 12 (demo), and autodesk sketchbook which it works great with! I personally use Photoshop and Illustrator with it and it's amazing!

Should work just fine - there are 4 fonts that come with the machine: you simply select the font you want, the size, select the letters you need and away you go! I suggest stitching out some samples first, to make sure you get the right size you want and that you like a particular font in the size you selected. Have fun - I LOVE my machine!

You can certainly run Photoshop, but I can't tell you about Illustrator since I've never used it.

The machine will allow you to use your own designs as long as they are PES or DST files. But to create your own designs you would need software that you can digitize a design and then import. Brother sells software or there are numerous apps available online. But this machine will not let you digitize directly on the machine itself. I think Brothers version of a machine that does that is the Duetta - far, far from the price point of the PE770.

Makerware software (by makerbot) and Replicator G software (open source) both work with all replicators. You'll need to export your designs as .stl or .obj files in Sketchup for example.

I don't know :( Maybe you can hit up the Hallmark software site and ask them on a contact page

Yes, any Brother machine embroidery software will be compatible with this machine. But most machine embroidery software these days will be compatible with any embroidery machine because you can save in whatever format your machine reads. (Brother reads .pes files) Just be aware that this machine has a maximum embroidery design size of 5" x 7" so you must create designs that are that size or smaller or size larger designs down before you transfer them to this machine for embroidery. I hope this helps. If you post the specific software package you are considering, I will verify compatibility with Brother.
