We all start somewhere and if you have the chance to grab yourself a plotter, why not?!?
Next consideration (unless you’ve already sorted it) is your software. What are you thinking of using? What type of graphics work/software can you already use? And can that be adapted to the signs industry? 😀
Cheers, Dewi

Dewi as I say total beginner! never done this before, plotter is comming with alot of software for £900, is this a good price?
-
If its a 24″ plotter and it has all the gubbins with it, its a bargain price!
I was a total beginner just under 12 months ago, bought my plotter through the uksg and virtually learned how to use it on these boards. Once you get the hang of it, its not too difficult, but if you need help getting started, this is certainly the best place to be.
Any idea which software you’re getting with the plotter?
Cheers, Dewi
-
just a thought, but at that price it’s not coming from ebay is it?
-
yeah, saw it on ebay but it aint a scam, the fella selliing lives 5 miles from me!!!
the softwares are flexisign e7 full colour, signlab v6.6 full colour and gerber omege latest version full colour -
not sure what the guys asking for all that software but if its near to buttons its probably not ligit.
as far as roland machines go, then i think they are good. but have mixed feelings on buying second hand. here is a thread i replied to yesterday asking similar.
-
if the software is all legit, you have got the bargain of the century!!
-
I think only one version is legit, dont know which, but I take it’ll be enough to get me started?
-
Even without the software, £900 is a bargain! At least it gets you up and running, and if one of the 3 softwares is legit, you’ve got a double bargain! 😀
Cheers, Dewi

Good price on the plotter but how old is it. Rolands are ok but need regular servicing. Which ever of the software is legit you’ve got your monies worth there alone. 😀

Hi Graig,
When I bought my first plotter it was The Roland cx24 came only with Roland Stika.
It was enough to get me started doing basic work, like dewi said you have got to start somewhere.Good Luck Mate.
