Hi all,
Just a little chin wag/chitchat.
I posted in the Vinyl section how I am thinking of expanding into plotting and was considering the Chinese option with a few extras. Oooer does that sound rude?
By extras…… I mean I had an offer of a cutter with a few rolls of vinyl etc. Between us we weighed up the pros and cons and I decided it wasn’t for me.
Many of you were very kind and advised me admirably.
I sincerely thank you all very much for your expertise and knowledge.
I have decided to go for the Xpress lite cut.

This is the yellow entry level option
The main reason is the support.
I have paid a deposit and have a training day on the 30th of this month.
I need to take my computer and they will install the drivers and software whilst I am there and then instruct me on how to use the plotter. Can’t say fairer than that can they?
I have been told to arrive by 10am and it is all day if required. Then there is full technical support and warranty for 12 months after that.
I have had to pay a lot more than I really wanted but have to say I am happy with the package offered.
I am fairly expert with Office applications particularly publisher, as I was the editor of a national magazine for ADIs for a few years.
Powerdriver is a godsend for me as I can do all my work in a programme I am very familiar with and then Powerdriver does the rest.
I have loaned my Sons laptop which has Corel on it for the training day, as I think I need that software on the laptop that has the drivers and additional cutter software to be installed?
I must admit I have very little idea how corel works?
I just hope I can follow the instructions on the day?
I am looking forward to the challenge and will write a report of my day/experience on here of the events for others to consider /laugh at (kidding)
Thank you all for your help and especially to Admin for a wonderful forum
