Yeah I heard that. I need to make sure SW doesn't strip the program that Graphtec includes as strandard (Cutting Master 2 Production Manager and Plug-in) out. Here's how I looked at it, correct me if I've overlooked something. I'm paying a grand for the software, ouch! But a heck of a...

Doh, sorry. After a long time looking, analyzing, sweating, looking again, searching, comparing and a *lot* of unproductive fretting I decided today on a genuine Graphtec CE5000-60 with Lxi Master Plus software. And, yep, I can hardly wait to get it. he he.

OK, so here's the question, although I am a bit embarrassed to ask. So now that I actually pay attention to signage I see a *lot* of vinyl lettering that has an outline. For example the word "sale" in 4" high letters in red with 3/8" black outline around each letter. I'm sure when my...

Howdy, welcome

Wow, thanks for all the excellent responses. To Geary in particular I sure didn't mean to sound negative or defensive. Sorry for the misunderstanding. To TrustedImages in particular you said “Personally, I have a Graphtec. Not to knock the VE brand at all. But I chose to go name brand. I did...

Long story short I have to order my plotter again (Don't ask) Anyway here's what I want to know, should I be afraid to order from signwarehouse.com? I plan to order a Graphtec CE5000-60 (Although the EOM Vinyl Express which my salesman swears is the same machine mechanically, less the ARMS...

Thanks, that is really close indeed. I'll give them a call Monday to get pricing. Anyone else know of any other mainstream vendors offering a similar product?

I've always wanted to stop and see if they were indeed one piece or several welded together. From a distance it looks like one huge-ass piece of plastic wrapping the entire board. If one piece, that must be one big-ass printer!

I wish I would have had my camera today because I saw exactly the sign frame I am looking for. My feeble attempt at a description follows: Posts were approximately 3 - 4" square (Closer to 3" I think, maybe even a touch smaller). They appeared to be made out of painted aluminum and were...

Man I am thick today. I could have sworn I searched for "fellers" in the forums earlier today and it didn't return but one result. Now I get like 10,000. Oh well, I'll blame it on... hmm... DOH! Anyway, thanks for all the great feedback, sounds like fellers is an excellent company to do...

Thanks. We have one within an hour or so. Good to hear you have had a good experience with them. I just D/L their catalog and it is overwhelming. Lots of items for sure.

Anyone? Beuller? Anyone? I called Oracal for a sample card since my cutter vendor wanted to charge me 10 bucks for one (Yeah like *that* is going to happen.... not!). Oracal was, of course, happy to send some cards out and reccomended I contact fellers.com to buy their vinyl product...

Spoke with Shelli @ Grimco. Nice young lady. They have me all setup now to access their online catalog and store, although it is pretty janky. They are having a "Digital Equpiment Expo" next week in STL. Looking forward to attending that. One thing that did surprise me a bit though was they...

Thanks for all the excellent replies. I guess you're right about having to sign up. Look forward to speaking with them on Monday.

Thanks, looks like I have to call them to get access to their online catalog. That seems fairly lame. I'll call them Monday.

Wondering of a good, economical yet quality source of ready-to-apply sign blanks in a plethora of styles and colors? Similar to these (Although I would prefer radiused corners): http://www.signwarehouse.com/SU-MS1824-p-SS-BLNK1824.html Anyone?

If I may be so bold (and take the 5th if you want to) but what kind of money could one expect to get paid for a job like that? Big $$ I assume. Oh, and it looks awesome. Scary as heck to this vinyl neophyte.

My gosh don't be sorry. I'll take any and all advice I can get from you fellas. I can talk the talk much better than walking the walk. I'm still crawling here. ;) This forum has been a great source of info thus far. I'm planning to give back once I get going, but for now I'm all ears.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. I chose Graphtec due to the information I gained here by reading these forums (and any others I could get my greedy eyes on) the last few weeks. My cutter will mainly be used for personal use and probably for a few of my friends who own businesses once I get...
