Now with the money I save with the frame......I might be able to buy the weeder/sheeter....:)</p> <p>Thanks again for the suggestion. We have been using a print laminate and cut system for industrial grade labels (been selling well) and I was hoping to expand into some of the vinyl signage to compliment our full color banner options. Running a graphtec FC 7000 At 54" wide. So far so good......</p> <hr /><p>Message 3058.14 was deleted</p> <hr /><a name="a3058_15"></a><p><b>From: Ron (RONRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.15">#15</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>I'm interested in purchasing an inexpensive vinyl cutter. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for brands or models or suppliers??? I am sponsoring a local dirt track so there are a few race cars I could pick up to letter plus I would like to use it for other sorts of signage. I use CorelDraw 12 with my Epilog laser. I assume this software is compatible with creating vinyl graphics too.</p> <p>Ron</p> <hr /><a name="a3058_16"></a><p><b>From: RALLYGUY (RALLYGUY1)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.16">#16</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Ron (RONRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.15">#15</a>] 6 Apr 2006</p> <p>We have been very happy with our Graphtec cutter.</p> <p><br /> I couldn't be happier.

Your comment is right in line with the others I have heard. I guess this explains why <a href="http://www.engravingconcepts.com/graphtec_vinyl_systems.htm"><font color="#FF0000">Engraving Concepts</font></a> selected it as their brand of choice for plotters. <hr /><a name="a3058_18"></a><p><b>From: RALLYGUY (RALLYGUY1)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.18">#18</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.17">#17</a>] 6 Apr 2006</p> <p>Oops, </p> <p>Guess the one we had for a month was a 30" thought it was a 36"...Nice machine.

It can be a little <u>too</u> protective at times. It does not mean that the site is trying to snoop on you.<hr /><a name="a3058_30"></a><p><b>From: sprinter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.30">#30</a>]<br /> 6 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Graphtec is the upper end in vinyl cutters and well worth the price. A friend purchased the Master $495 cutter, after seeing it and comparing to my Graphtec he is not a happy camper. Circle and diaginal cuts are very poor and cutting letting under 1/2" is a waste of time and it is very slow. The software is very limited, basically the Flexisign demo package with a driver for the cutter.</p> <p>Software for vinyl cutting is another story, Corel isn't the answer with out addons like cocut. ScanVec's Flexisign Pro is the better product if you plan on doing anything more than basic lettering, but's it's 3K+. Flexisign Pro has the best scanning to vector conversion that I have ever seen. The difference between it and Corel X3 trace is like night and day. I guess it goes back to you get what you pay for.</p><hr /><a name="a3058_31"></a><p><b>From: jeanettebrewer (JEANETTEBREWER2)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3058.31">#31</a>]<br /> 7 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Ken D.
