Hello from sunny Clacton
Have just joined the forum, this being the first time I’ve needed to seek advice since finishing my apprenticeship nearly 30yrs ago. I’ve had a skim through some random questions and answers and feel I’ve found the right site. I promise not to just take from the forum, and am more than prepared to give knowledge to help others. I have to say now though, I’m a sign-writer/sign-maker, I’m not computer software expert in the slightest. I use a couple of Gerber plotters, but although tangential, thus giving a superb cut, they are not as fast or versatile as new equipment .I’ve been thinking of late, do I stop doing making signs altogether, it’s not the trade it was, or do an update. This is where I need advice. On contacting distributors, the first thing they want to discuss is price. The price is not foremost to me, the quality of cut is. I will do my utmost to screw the price once I know what I need :lol1: So contenders seem to be FC8000 or the Tangential Summa. Having not seen many cutters in years, how good are the Summa drag blades etc. Also, what have I overlooked, all opinions and options appreciated.
ps I do only need a relatively narrow cutter. I only really do vans these days. I have no ambition to write a motorway service station! :lol1:
