Is there a specific book dedicated to beginners ?

[cuztumfx]

I was just wondering if there is a specific book dedicated to beginners in the sign business using plotters etc... ?

I am trying to learn this Klik N Kut program that came with the cutter
The manual they gave me is not even for the machine I purchased but I think will still give me some basics.

Any help is Honestly Appreicated

That appears to be an entry level piece of software and I, for one, haven't heard of it before.

I know that Gerber's Omega software comes with a manual that contains instructions and tutorials and would be a good tool to learn from.

Or you could get Illustrator, there are lots of resources online to learn that program. You can't cut from it directly, but a solution to that can be had easily.

Hopefully I'm not out of line, but these books are a must have:

- Mike Stevens Mastering Layout
- Dan Antonelli Logo design 1&2

SOHK* is the best one out there, by far.

KLIK n' CUT?????????? does that come with your KRICKET????
it aint a proper vinyl cutting program or for a PROFESSIONAL VINYL CUTTER!!!!!
choose from any of these below and you will find plenty of books on how to learn.
COREL
ILLISTRATOR
SIGN WIZARD
SIGN-LAB
FLEXI SIGN
VINYL MASTER
now these all COST probably more then you paid for your cutter..........but they are what you really need to do anything more then SCRAPBOOKING.
