Make extra dots and use them to replace any you mess up in the design.

Mahalo. Yes, when I tell some of the customers, that reflective can start 10x the cost (to get it here), they flinch and think I'm lying. I tell them that I only have a limited amount of reflective because it's ridiculously cost prohibitive for me to tie up money in stuff people don't aren't willing to pay for. I've been looking at the 5500 or 5700 series, but everywhere - inventory is iffy. I don't think the state laws will take into consideration that material will be difficult to source during a pandemic. I've seen other brands, and know that they are not going to pay for the more pricey stuff. This will be an interesting next couple of weeks to see who has what, and how much it's going to cost to get to me. Keep your fingers crossed!

what skeeter said and going from a graphtec with a servo motor to the course stepper motor on a mh would be torture for me - make sure you slow it way down also

My LaserPoint has a ruler, but it's metric, not that it matters. The only useful purpose for that for me, is when I'm feeding a sheet into the cutter - I jog the vinyl back and forth and see how it tracks compared to the tick marks on the ruler. That tells me how crooked I am, and which way I need to make adjustments. If there's a CleanCut Blade for the Prism, I'd look into getting a 60* and 45*, if they don't - I'd still get a 60* blade, because that will be helpful when you cut small stuff, intricate designs, or tiny text.

I am not sure what a ruler on a plotter would be used for after 12 years of use. While I don’t know about the prism cut the graphtec use a fan to pull down the vinyl and no need for additional pinch rollers

Machine arrives tomorrow and as I said if it were not for the videos from PM-Performance I wouldn't have bought it. There just isn't enough videos and information out there about this machine. One thing I was surprised to find out reading this is that the Graphtec doesn't have a ruler either, or as many pinch rollers. As someone mentioned I don't know how many of these have been sold and for how long, so hard to judge if it will be a reliable product and performance. Great price though.

To be honest if it was not for watching PM-Performance and his videos I wouldn't have bought this machine, I would have bought the Titan 3 and I am still up in the air about whether to go with the Titan 3, just don't want to end up with a machine that isn't as good as the Titan 3 from what I have read. Certainly don't have money to burn on a machine that might eat the vinyl up from what I am reading.

That's kind of the selling point of the 751 and 951. They conform to curves better. If you're new to the vinyl world the 651 can feel like it's easier/safer to work with but as you go and refine your skills you'll find the higher end stuff can be a real pleasure to work with. A little like a high performance car. Scary as hell the first time you drive one but as you learn it's capability it becomes a lot of fun.
