an at home set up-----for what? you do realize a set up is EXPENSIVE? it's not gonna be cheap no matter what size plotter you get.

you won't be able to get into ANY plotter for less than a grand. then you still don't have vinyl, application tape, clip art, fonts, vinyl tools, blades, etc. a good rule of thumb is whatever the plotter costs, triple that amount, and you'll get an idea of what you'll end up spending.

why does everyone think these things are cheap? I swear, 75% of the customers that come into my shop will ask how much my plotter cost. unless you plan to use it for making money, a plotter is NOT a wise investment.

Try sign warehouse.com-they offer cheap-to expensive-but cheap will cause nothing but problems! ss I've got a roland camm1 set up with flexisign on a dell and probably a million cliparts and 2500 fonts I'll sell ya for $4000. Sign business in a box! If interested tintdesignz@aol.com. ss

I am Not that dumb!

I know It's not that cheap. I may be new at this But, I've seen what they cost, they can get up too 50Grand. I am looking to spend around 1200-1400 for the plotter, but Wanted info and help. You never know if some one may have a used one. And I have also heard that you can get the fonts and software from the net.

Just trying to learn more.

Thanks of the info TintDesignz.

I seen that site, I will go check it out agin.. Thanks for the offer but I don't have that kind of cash to spend. I wish lol. Anyhow I just want to start small and can only spend just over a grand for the plotter. The rest I will get over time.

"Got a catch me later plan" LoL

Thanks again.

a grand won't get you much. even once you get the plotter, you still have all the other stuff to buy to run it.

but what the hell do I know.

for an inexpencive program try corel draw 9-10 and signtools 3 you can usually pick them up for less then 300$$$$ they work as well as some of the 2000-5000 cutting programs

only other thing to consider is what do you want to cut??? tint vinyl ppf if yes to all then get a 40" as the smallest rollands and graphtec are some of the most popular do shop arround and ask lots of questions
