    Shelbyville? We in Springfield don't care for YOUR TYPE! Just kidding... we don't like anybody! ;-) Welcome!
  2. Not sure what cutter to get...

    At the prices some folks charge, you could never save enough to justify the purchase of even the cheapest plotter. There's a guy on eBay doing numbers for under $20 and a ton of them for less than $30-35. If your goal is to save money, eBay is the solution. If these prices are "too high" then...

    I believe Inspire XP was a illegal modification of Inspire and they no longer produce it because it was basically theft of someone else's work.
  4. New here...questions

    For the price of a 24" Graphtec, you are not far from a 30" Roland. You can still get some CX-300's at around $2,000. Rolands also come with software to let you cut directly from Corel or Illustrator. Rather than spend money on software, I would spend money on hardware. Welcome.
  5. Hi, everyone!

    Welcome. I originally came from a printing background, mostly continuous forms before signs.
  6. Hello Everyone!

    Nice work... we have several race tracks in the region. I've done two or three cars a year for a while now. Most not that nice.

    add a couple of beers and that sounds me every Saturday night!
  8. Hello to everyone!

    I have stock 30", 24" and 15" rolls of vinyl for my cutter. Every 15" is a 50 yds. About half of my 24" are 50 yds and half are 10 yds. As for 30"s, only black is 50 yds on a regular basis. You'd be surprised what you can do with a small plotter. Welcome from NY.
  9. Hey from Ohio

    Welcome from NY. I started as a home based business in 1998 as a moonlighter. In nine short years, I've turned this into a somewhat successful business, with less than $15,000 invested. Nothing wrong with being small.

    Select text with pointer. Change width and/or height in menu bar. Make sure lock is on to keep proportions right.
  11. I Sell REAL ESTATE FRAMES

    I wouldn't exactly call your prices "wholesale".
  12. New Here, Doin' Vinyl Since 1998

    I have no intention of continuing this silly thread. Feel free to continue without my participation. My only two secrets: Don't use "easy weed" unless absolutely necessary. With banners, this should be rare, as most text is 12-28" tall. If you need a weed box around 12" text, there's something...
  13. New Here, Doin' Vinyl Since 1998

    I answer everything "straight" other project their frustrations into me and that's too bad. Would I like to charge more? Sure. I charge a little more than some folks on Google do. In the past few years I've watched one go from about $4.00 per sq. ft. to $3.00 for 13oz white. I sell 10 oz white...
  14. New Here, Doin' Vinyl Since 1998

    Gino, you seem to know enough already, with that "PhD" and all. What could I a Grammar Schooler possibly teach you? Why would I give someone with such arrogance and sarcasm the time of day? Am I successful? I can pay my bills. I'm hardly rich. I'm satisfied with my business. That's all that...
