Re: vinyl sign cutter

"Karl Townsend" <karltownsend.NOT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> quickly quoth:

Anyone have experience, recommendations for vinyl sign cutters?

I researched them a decade ago for a client. He went with a VyTek 1000
(? with tangential head) and Casware's ScanVec software, Corel Draw,
and a new computer for roughly $24k. That info's pretty much outdated
and useless today. <sigh>


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.

Good way to go. She'll continue to earn income for you that way. <g>

I had my magnetic truck signs printed and they threw in some
front/rear text with my URL on it (stuck to lo-tack) for the kingly
sum of $110, delivered from FL. 2ea 12x18" magnetics + 2ea sets of
2-1/2x34" letters, one reversed.


While scanning my computer for those old mfgr names, I stumbled upon
this and thought I'd share it:
