Hello Kerri from Georgia. Welcome from Beautiful BC. Yep, keep reading here..tons of good info. Ken..HNY!

GVG..It looks like Henry Ford is looking to Toyota to bail him out.(It's the unions taking them down....same as GM) Quality..made in JPA. Used to be that people would scoff at Japan products. Where did we go wrong? Some say they are imitators, thieves... optimizers? My cheap cutter...cuts...

OK Man, don't let the highbrows here get to you. You're right..dig some more before jumping into the hole... Ken

There are purists of course..they believe the brand name means everything. I've had Sony equipment fail on me.. I have used a chinese plotter for 3 years now( Creation CT 630 - 24 inch machine)..there have been a few minor annoyances..mostly with the supplied WinPC sign letter 12program. With...

HI James. There is a LOT of sign work that you can do with a plotter only. Multi-colored logos and graphics, lettering, flames, etc. The print capability expands your design options quite a bit ( a lot)..but for starting out, a plotter will serve you well. Most of the hot-shots here started...

Yep, I gotta say..Fred nailed it there. BTW..welcome to S101. As far as buying equipment on ebay..I would recommend buying from a local supplier..someone who you can fall back on for advice/technical problems. The support factor will be of great assistance to you in such a new endeavour..of...

Hi JC. www.vectorart.com has thousands of images downloadable in vector format. $2 ea , I think...A good source. The owner/operator of this website, Fred Weiss, also offers high quality print/cut images. ( Allied Graphics) It is a cut and paste world these days and these two I mention are...

Hi there, whatever your name is... Least expensive is a few paint brushes..and lots of talent... If you want to do small corporate decals then you need print/cut. You can do larger multi-color decals with a cutter only. But..you say you would like to get into the sign business..'ah hem...

Yep, AVG-Free . Ken

Hi JC. Welcome to S101 from Beautiful BC. Considering your background, this sounds very do-able to me. It is however, a very steep learning curve to get up and running in a reasonable amount of time. You did not mention setting up a store-front business, but, I expect, rather using contacts to...

Hi Sky, yes I had thought of the auger..should have mentioned in my post. How much does an auger attachment cost? Will that put you "over the top"(expense-wise) compared to the other potential items... Where I live and work, I could easily put a skid-steer to work, but I would not operate it...

OK Skyhigh..you say you want to invest $ in your business... How does a skidsteer or crewcab fit into that equation? I don't know your situation. Perhaps you like moving dirt or snow or people. Darn near any vehicle can tow a utility trailer for cargo. If you don't have a print/cut/lam...

Yes..thank you Fred! That link you just posted is awesome... Thanks for the Christmas present! Cheers...ken:U Rock:

There's always the ... "we don't dial 911.. " Ken

I think a rabbitt outstretched might look faster. I once came across a jack-rabbit in the Utah desert that I startled. I'm not kidding..it must have jumped , straight up, 10 feet into the air and it hit the ground running. FAST... Ken

So Jim..in New Jersey..there are no old cows? Or do you all wear out-of-the-box sweaters?...kidding. Welcome from Beautiful BC. Ken

Also what grade of vinyl are you using? Cheap stuff is notorious for lack of consistancey of thickness. Techmans advice is good. Ken

OK, Gear PM me. I dont want to hijack this thread. But a right to life would indicate a right to health care? All men equal? Ken

Paypal only...so far. So I'll say yes. Ken

Have a CT630 ( 24") but the versacamm will also cut about 28.5 in. ( I rarely use the sp300 for cutting only)..so I will say a 24 in cutter. Geary, 70K to pay for your right to health care?? You're in the wrong country , my friend... Ken
