I spoke to Phil and he told me I would need heat assist if laminating over printed material

I'm not interested in the printing part, I would use it as a plotter. But it probably is not going to track as well as a new Summa :)

I may have the opportunity to get a Roland Camjet 60". It is about 15 - 18 years old and has never been used. Can I get drivers/software for it? Thanks

I am looking for a used heat assist laminator. I've seen new laminators on eBay from USA Stock & Ving that are under $2000. Does anybody know about these or have a laminator for sale? Thanks

I have hear many times to buy wide but my flatbed printed will only print 48" x 96"

I just learned that I was not comparing apples-to-apples, that the VE plotter is comparable to Graphtec FC series not CE. I spoke to a salesman that sells both Graphtec & Summa and he says I will not be happy with a CE6000 mainly due to tracking and compared it to a hobby plotter. It can only...

Q54 with LXi & free upgrade to Expert listed on Signwarehouse site for $5499. 42" is $4499. Graphtec CE6000+ 48" with Cutting Master & Graphtec Pro Studio $3600 delivered. Graphtec comes with tech support, VM you have to buy tech support. I thought VM was cheaper than Graphtec

I've read the good, the bad and the ugly on plotters. Some like you love Vinyl Express, some not so much. Signwarehouse is now offering a free LXi upgrade to Expert. Do I save a couple grand and go with the 48" VE?

I see a few, which one is yours?

Thanks for the replies. What about clip art/vector software? There are several available, what is the best investment? If I but a plotter from Stahl the give me cadworkslive.com. Is it work the extra $ I'd pay for their Graphtec?

Thanks

Thanks Mr. Nice Guy for the very thorough review. You would buy a Vinyl Express but would not buy equipment from the only company that sells Vinyl Express, funny.

Happy Friday, Easy question. Vinyl Express plotters, Do you have one or did you have one? Are they any good? Does SignWarehouse provide good support? Thanks.

Is your plotter still available?

I didn't say I agreed, just asking opinions. I've outsource vehicle graphics for years and never once used unlaminated vinyl.

How often do you laminate vinyl, whether it's printed or not? While laminating stuff like vehicle graphics will increase life, I've beed told the not laminating will also allow you to sell the job again in 5 years. Thinks like fund raising decals should probably always be laminated. What is your...

Do you recommend the 8600 Series over the 6000 series. Is the $ worth it?

Thanks for all the info. I can but a narrower CE6000 that would get the job done for now but I'd probably kick myself later for being stuck with a 24" plotter. a 48" would cost me about $3500. I am told that it is pretty easy to get work for it and I may want a larger more durable FC8600 Series...

Over the years I have outsourced my cut vinyl and graphics which have mostly been applied to vehicles or interior walls. I have ever had anything more than about 15" wide. I don't do a ton but enough to justify a piece of equipment, maybe used. Any suggestions? Should I print on my flatbed and...
