    Hi, everyone!
    Thanks for the big welcome.
    I am trying to set up a home based sign business in a small town. I want to work about 5-6hrs. day. I am not sure what I should be looking at for a cutter. 24" is the size I want but there are so many brands out there, kinda thinking of a Graphtec CE5000-60.
    I live in BC, Canada and I am having a hard time finding a equipment supplier here. In the US signwarehouse.com really interested in them but then I have to pay duty and shipping that will add up to a lot extra 😥
    Can anyone help me, PLEASE!!
    Any advice welcome! 😀
    Thanks
    Cat

    So do I. 😀

    Regrettably it is usually more like ten or twelve. 🙁

    Can’t help with a plotter, but good luck in your search.

    Thanks Rob for you advice!
    I just ordered a Graphtec CE5000. I am excited now that I finally made my decision on which one to purchase. Can’t wait to get started!! 😀
    I just watched some of your videos on taping and weeding, very informative. The person I was learning off of had a few less pointers than you had, THANKS. I enjoyed watching them!
    😀 😀

    Hi John,
    I hope I won’t be working as many hours as you, I have four kids to run around after! 😕
    Thats why I was hoping to only work while they were in school!!! Thats probably a laugh though right!?! 😕

    Yup.

    Ask anybody here.

    Before long you’ll be teaching the kids to weed. 😀
