Wanted to introduce myself before I jumped on the band wagon and started firing questions. I am in NC and currently make small signs and decals. It started out as a hobby, but now I can't get enough of it. It's all I think about doing even in my sleep!!! I've been doing this for 1 year and 5 months. Still a baby in diapers, but hopefully will be easy to potty train.
I started out with a very cheap cutter and after 4 months, I made enough in profits so that I sold it and upgraded to the Roland GX-24. I was amazed at the difference in the 2 machines. I now have a great oppertunity and a few customers already lined up, so that I can now move up to a printer/cutter. My learning process has been very slow, but working a full time job and doing this on the side limits my time to practice, practice, practice!! Anyway, I hope to have a Roland SP300 within the next coule of weeks from my local dealer. Already took everyone's advice about spending a little extra by having a close by tech/service.
Also wanted to say that I have been reading off of this site for the past 1 1/2 years!! Never became a member until this morning, but loved reading through the posts. I've even read some posts back to early 2008!! LOL
I look forward to asking some crazy questions and getting some of those hilarious remarks from you guys...... So please cut loose!!
