Hi, hope yall can help this southern boy newbie. I have two machines I bought about a year ago and have cut out a few things, a year ago. The two machines are a Refine MH 1101 (54 inch) and a Seiki (48inch) could be off a bit on the sizes. Anyway I am interested in going into the sign business and am not sure what or how to go about doing it. I had P cut and sign cut but the Pcut is gone can’t find it and the Sign Cut ran out but I did not like either one. Ok so I have search read many of the Software postings but am still a bit confused. If I’m thinking correctly I will need something like Flexi to cut and a program like Coral or Illustrator to create the images to cut. My question is do I need anything else also what other than Flexi could I use. Just looking for ideas. I am also interested in screen printing and have watched a ton of vids and posts on it. I want to know if there is a universal program for both. Also what would be easier to learn adobe or coral yes yes I know about personal preference and all that but just how hard is it to get a grip on these programs on your own.

Corel is the more affordable choice and you can use Cocut to drive the plotter directly from Corel.

corel would definitely be your best bet...it's a powerful program and not that hard to learn.......just getting the terminology and tools down shouldn't take too long, but learning design and how to put things together is a different story...

As long as you have a windows driver you can cut direct from Corel or most any other design software. If you do not have a windows driver you will need a bridge program to cut from design software, unless it is sign related design software and providing they have a driver for your machine.
