No idea. I've never seen or tried one. I couldn't even tell you the name of one. (and I have no Chinese shares... just an open mind)

What CES020 said... I'm not giving opinions on stuff I know nothing about. I'm sure a Roland or Graphtec would cut much rounder circles and much squarer squares than my plotter. It's just that my plotter is plenty accurate for my caliber of work. I don't aspire to the greatness that only the...

Absolutely priceless. :rock-n-roll:

Forward it to member tintwizz. He has a faith based business.

There you have it. Sorry I couldn't help but I haven't tried one. I think you are making the right choice. Without support any printer would be near worthless. Good luck with your search.

Oh my!

I don't take any particular pride in owning a plotter. It's just a plotter. A tool like a hammer or a saw. You apparently require a better one that I do. I'm fine with that. So anyway... let's see some of this superior vinyl cutting you speak of. Post up some amazing feat of precision accuracy...

Maybe you're not a ham-fisted idiot. :thumb:

Hmmm. My Chinese cutter has steel fasteners, the holes (?) all line up and when I ordered a part I got the part I ordered. If I ask it to cut something it cuts it. If I want to cut the same thing again... it cuts it again. It has performed the tasks I've asked of it for the past 7 years...

Does anyone on this forum actually have a Chinese wide format printer or are we doomed to suffer more anecdotal evidence?

Andy seems to be comparing a cheap plotter he bought years ago with a new wide format printer he has never seen. Not a very useful comparison in my humble opinion. I was merely pointing this out. I think it would be interesting to try one of these printers out and see if it worked. Not take the...

You are comparing products that cost vastly different amounts of money. You have astutely observed that you get what you pay for.(aren't you a clever one) If I purchase a cheap anything I expect that it will require more diligence and care on my part to have it perform in an acceptable...

Is this what you did?

Guy's got a knack for names. :Big Laugh

You know what OP meant though... don't you.

I think John Butto put it in it's simplest form. How many of you would shop at John's new store? (show of hands please)

I think andy is seriously deluded. If he opened up his Japanese printer I would be gobsmacked if he didn't find it full of Chinese electronic components. Most Japanese products are now manufactured in China as are most of the planets products. There is nothing inherently wrong with Chinese...

Good point Wildwest. There is no way to know if being a "faith business"/sign shop has hindered or helped. I highly suspect it has hurt (I wouldn't go in there) but who can say for sure?

What the heck is a "faith business"? I thought it was for a sign shop. To be fair, he didn't ask for suggestions on making it better/more appropriate, he just asked what we thought. Seems to me most of us thought he should re-think it. His loss to ignore us.

I commented on this: "Logo and Name combined whatcha think" I thought the religious name was a bad idea and the logo looked odd because the sub-copy didn't go with the main copy. I thought that's what he wanted to know... what I thought.
