    Hello all,
    I havent imputed much lately but am still reading with interest, I have a cheapo Chinese cutter at the moment, but feel really restricted now as it only does anything with artcut!!! I am looking at upgrading and have been looking at http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/ce5000packb.asp is this a good buy? Also what software do people use, I have corel x3 and signlabs neither am i overly confident with, but i like to experiment. All help is appreciated guys and girls.

    Simon

    Graphtec, is a good make, you may do better on price though, so shop around. X3 and signlab are also as good as any design software, what version of signlab are you running?, I always wonder, why someone would buy a cheap plotter and use expensive software to run it

    One of those mysteries Peter. After spending thousands on software, they only have enough money left for a cheap chinese cutter.

    Ahoy me hearties, pieces of eight… 👿

    The only software i use with the cutter is the artcut as thats all it will take as its software driven 🙁 The other two pieces of software didnt cost me too many pieces of eight, and im only playing with them at the moment 😀
    Thanks for the imput so far guy’s, Peter any ideas on the best place to obtain one at a good price.

    I thought that if you bought the full version of Flexi they threw in a PCut cutter with it 😉 or am I getting it the wring way round….
