I'm outside right now smoking a butt. Sign warehouse ALL the way! Their support is AWESOME! Trust me, I've spend HOURS on the phone with them. Please do not hesitate to call 1-800-699-5512 with ANY little problem you may have (even with your computers). They've been SO helpful and I've spent over 80k with them over the last 15+ years. Do not waste ANY of your time. IMMEDIATELY when something isn't working just call the 800 # they will help you. Such a GREAT resource and company. I can not recommend their support more than ANY other company on this planet. Your purchase will make all the signs you need for your company. If you have a REAL problem and need a sign by a deadline they will fly a support representative out to your location for FREE. You'll just need to buy them breakfast or lunch...not even a dinner. And the knowledge, is unbelievable. You definitely went with the right company. Don't second guess your purchase asking post purchase. You made the RIGHT choice and don't hesitate to call even with the smallest of problems. Your time is worth money and you've made the investment. About illustator is the best too!

Why would any reputable wholesale supplier sell their wares on ebay, where most purchasers aren't resellers--they're end users. And why would anybody buy anything from a company that would directly market themselves to end users?
Oh, that's right.. you're an end user. :Oops: again

Will this program, FlexiSign Vinyl Express LXi Apprentice Software allow me to do a lot of cool designs?

cdiesel, come on man.. give the dude a break. Sign Warehouse RULES and you know it. So be it our secret is out. Nobody else has the support they have. Heck, I called once and spend an hour and a half with them only to find out my mouse battery was dead (how was I to know). But they SAVED the day! And I was able to get all 4 2"x3" stickers to a brand new client and make them happy. That's what I call SERVICE!

That plotter is most likely a Master plotter. decent beginners work horse, loud as sin ... have to baby it at times. not worth the money when for $2k-4k you can get a plotter that has is about the equivalent of a mustang vs a yugo p.o.s.
as for design programs ... software does not a designer make.

Because he stated that his sign industry status is: "I have no experience but would like to earn all or part of my living creating and/or selling signs."

But is opening statement is somewhat in conflict with that, so I have posted my conclusion based on that opening statement and he has only another minute or so to clarify and convince me that my conclusion is not correct after which he will be removed.

well I actually had a plan hoping to sell to the public too, since I have it, minus well use it to make money.

So, if I understand you correctly, you have no experience and since you buy a lot of signs, buying a vinyl cutting plotter for $339.95 plus $59.95 shipping seemed like a good idea and now you would like the professional sign community to lend you a hand at turning you idea into some cool designs etc.? And if anybody wants to buy some signs from you, that would be cool too?

What is your primary work that makes you your living?
