Hi to all
I need some help Iam getting to the Vinyl sign business
I spoke last week at the show in Atlantic City to a Graphtec Rep.
He Advise me to the fc7000mk2 30" wich i think is great, also he said that if
i use Adobe Illustrator it will be just fine.
The company that iam buy this equipment are pushing Flexi Software...

Buy the FC series plotter and the Flexi, the training cd's and then attend a class by Mark Rugen. Time and study, time and study, time and study...

...then give away all the decals and signs you can for the first year to build a client base.

Then you are ready for a printer!!! ;-) hehehe

Oh...welcome to the playground!

have always used freehand and illustrator and photoshop. Dont need or want flexi to make signs. illustrator plugin works fine for the plotter, and postershop works fine as a rip for the printers

The Graphtec is a great plotter. Flexi is a great program. Get them both. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have Illustrator in your toolbox also.

Welcome..
Graphtec is good..Flexi is NOT needed..why pay those big bucks for the software when the program that comes with the cutter does it all?
Flexi is a well "flexed" marketing machine..you don't need it.
