Hey everyone. I just picked up a used Vinyl Express Q100 and was wondering where is the best place to get blades, cut strips etc...

I believe it is a re-branded Graphtec FC7000-100 if i'm not mistaken...

Also it didn't come with any cut software so any suggestions about that would be awesome.. I have coreldraw x6 and will be designing out of that program. But to my knowledge i can't cut strait from corel to the plotter, and i need some sort of cut software as a middle man...

thanks guys..

Oh ok.. awesome.. thanks Brian..

Any idea on cut software? Their software is a bit pricey for me doing it as a hobby

Thanks,

I think Sign Warehouse has used Redsail Tech Company, GCC and Graphtec as the OEM for the Vinyl Express brand. Not sure which cutters are made by who.

Similar to how CutterPros ProCut brand has been made by Creation Mechanical and Electrical and then by Saga CNC.

For software, consider SignCut which allows for periodic licenses or Vinyl Master which has several versions to choose from depending on your needs.

Here is the SignCut list of cutters: http://www.signcutpro.com/files/pdf/driverlist20130410.pdf
