MemberJanuary 20, 2005 at 4:25 pm in reply to: how do i go mobile with laptop and plotter?Hi Surely you will limit yourself to vinyl only jobs and have to return to jobs requiring panels boxes etc anyway Id work out the cost of the set up against petrol etc see how long it takes to get your money back. I also think people would get the opinion that you would be cheap and possibly be concerned with waranty stuff maybe im wrong
