where can i get software for plotters? has anyone heard of signblaze, I'm thinking of purcahasing a copam cutter. Is it any good or should i use a smaller 8' or 12' roland. I'm new, so any info will help a whole lot.

Pete, If you are not planning on doing sign work I would seriously consider the graphtec CE5000-40 it will take 19" material and cut almost 15" this machine gets you out of the hobby class machines and puts you into something that can cut transfers also, on the other hand if you decide the copam the cutting software comes with the machine but you will also need corelx3 to design in .

about how much does that corel software cost? IF you got a sec! Is this one of those things that you get what you pay for. Or, Is just a capable machine and that's it? I'm starting out new as you can see by all threads, but I'm like a sponge. One more thing, Is there any other low cost plotters that you'd suggest?

I got CorelDraw X3 brand new (it was OEM.. so it was just the software cds and the reg #) for $125 at Best Deal Software

It's well worth it!! You can do *SO* much with it!

Hope this helps ya man.
