Hello, I'm Jim Antonius from Prescott, Az. I am a full time glassblower/educator and in the market for a desktop cutter that has the capability to cut sandblast resist. I will then apply the resists to my product, typically curved surfaces,then sandblast and either glue chip,paint, gild,or copper electroform the etched surfaces. Price range $200-$600.00 or so. In the past I have been hand cutting all of my resists but would like to take advantage of the cutters, since it is so time consuming and difficult to hand cut very small detail.
I have briefly looked at the 15" Craft ROBO and the STIKA SV 12 but am unsure which direction to go.!
I will be using a Mac Pro Intel Xeon computer, OS X, 5 GB, with Photoshop CS2, CS3. so I need to buy a plotter that has compatible software for the MAC. I hope the info I've provided isn't too vague, if so, feel free to ask me additional questions. Thank You for any info or guidance you may provide,
Jim Antonius
