    Hi guys, I know that its a matter of personal preference, but I would like an opinion on what would be ‘easy’ to set up and reasonable cost wise.
    I want to mainly use for a hobby.

    I have tried a cheap pcut thing and the setting up with com ports etc done my head in.
    Surely there is a vinyl plotter that is almost plug and play ???
    I use Corel, Adobe and have tried signblazer, so I don’t think the software will be a problem.

    I know that I am not a business and I need to spend , but I’m ‘dabbling’ for now and want to get started at home.
    Last time I came on here I got lots of crap because of this.
    If you have a problem with amateurs, then please don’t bother replying to this post.

    Thanks

    Any advice gratefully received.

    Paul

    call Graphityp, Graphtec, Roland, Summa etc see who has the best machine to suit your budget. all are reputable suppliers.
    Dabbling or not, i would set aside £850-£1000 minimum for your cutter alone.

    Second hand?

    Something like a nice Roland Camm-1 Pro CM500?
