rodp Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Right men, been asked quite a few times (lots) over the last couple of years for lettering on jobs, always put it off because we supplied sign makers with blank banners and it would be a conflict of interests. However, local vinyl supplier now does blank banner material "off the roll", cheap and Chinese but it does the job. Obviously a lot of the sign makers now use this. So, I've bought a vinyl cutter and a load of vinyl, just need a cutting program now. After something relatively cheap, simple to work and reliable. We've no intention of doing complex graphics just fonts and the odd shape (moon / stars etc). I used to use one ages ago so know how to operate it, sort of. Any recommendations for a cutting program, cheap, reliable, simple ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil w Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Sign-Blazer, you can still download a free trial off the net. They have been defunct for many years now. Maybe worth a try or even Flexi- Sign elements, this will cost you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodp Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Don't think we really need something so complex as Flexi, would be hard to justify the cost just to cut a few letters now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff36 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 My vinyl cutter came with a programme called Cutok, very basic and simple to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
