I don't mean to be ignorant, but why would most fonts not be cut out for sign work, I mean, what am I not understanding?:unclesam:

I always wonder what fonts people use, from home users to car companies and every other type of business in between. I am a graphic artist with a strong typography background (I worked at a typesetting business for 12 years). We had Linotype fonts (4 different libraries), Berthold Fonts...

maybe I need to clean my glasses and look better next time.

Paul Renners Future Steile or Futura Display, a commanding font

The aptly named slipstream

I have an old Artz II from wacom 9 x 12 and it is too big, but I use the digitizer and pen. I have used a little cheapie one at a label company and I liked it very much. For them to be useful you have to throw your mouse away and just plain use it for a month, before you get used to them. I...

Phils fonts sells BE and BQ Formata for a pretty decent price, 9 fonts between 225 and 275.

Formata, comes in 2 flavors, BE (Adobe) and BQ (Berthold) Go with the BQ, it is far better. Berthold Types is very expensive. Berthold Types are not nice to deal with, and you cannot by the EULA use your customers font. As a matter of pragmatism, what you can do is get the fonts from the client...

Maybe a Summa DC4 machines, 20+ spot Colors, CMYK, No fumes, it cuts vinyl too. I think there are two (2) models, 30" and 54", arond the same pricing as the value jets. They are sublimation printers, no lamination needed.

Yeah, Screen 1030ai from the 90's. Great detail, you need photoshop to enhance the color, but the detail is deep.

It is just a printer, no cutter.

Back in the 80's there was a type house in LA thats name began with a Z and they had a moving type specimen, the car had tons of Z's all over it with I guess all their fonts, it was cool, as opposed to this.

Hi and thanks, I did not read where Graphtec changed their lineup, Jackpine, you got a link? I am an information junkie! I have not yet jumped, but generally I wait and wait and save some money and buy the best of what I can, my old G3 is great still (300mhz!). I don't make a living using these...

Hi, I am interested in Vinyl (LPs too!) I am trying to figure a few things out, software wise to the hardware. I will be starting out as a hobbyist, probably a 15" - 30" cutter. My first question is this, do I need more than Illustrator to run a cutter? I have years on Illustrator, from a print...
