Anyone have experience, recommendations for vinyl sign cutters? I see a
large price range on eBay:

I need new roadside signs. I just got a quote for $4K. So, I volunteered
my SO to learn how to make our own using a vinyl cutter I'll buy for her.

I use Gerber Scientific stuff at work. They make nice machines but are
sorta like the micro$oft of sign making equipment (loved/hated). Most
plotters (as they are usually called) will work from HPGL but I've never
tried it. I use Gerber Omega to do the vector artwork/cut paths and it's a
snap. The software to run one of these can also be quite pricey, along with
the vinyl you plan to cut. A roll of good quality cast vinyl can be a few
hundred dollars. How many, what size and how complex are your signs? When
you add everything up you may need to buy, $4K may seem reasonable.
