    new cutter?

    I Have 2 MH-721.s and a Newstar OM-60 and I use my 721.s everyday.......5 days a week all the time, I have 3 cut stations and a print station, and my 721's everyday, I know I see a lota crap about them on here, But Bannerjohn said he had good luck with his and I got 1 two years ago, and this year got my second one, I have Flexi Pro,Signlab,Corel 9 and X3, and adobe photoshop 5 and these 721's just work great......BigJimT But if you want go and spend more money, but for me they cut as good as my Roland and Newstar have cut.

    Printing posters 101

    I use a material called Teslin and then laminate it. Teslin is a synthetic, so moisture is not an issue. From my distributor it costs around $1 a linear yard at 44" wide for the basic stuff. There is a version that is treated for ink jet for about twice the price, but the Epson does just fine with the basic stuff. It is not adhesive, however. I use the Treated vinyl to print on......by Avery and I get it @ Fellers....and then Frog juice it or laminate it.......sometimes both.....and it is adhesive.

    Signcut Pro Already Registerd

    I started with a Roland 1100 24" a Roland 1050 and Signlab (Cadlink then) and Corel Draw 3 Now I use a Newstar 24" Omega OM60 and a MH-721 and as Banner Says.......I use it all the time and It cuts a lot of vinyl at 80 grams 24 speed and serial port hookup.......I use it with 5 differant Computers and It works with all of them......as well as my epson R-1900 printer and I still use Signlab on a windows 98 system........and flexi pro on the XP pros.... From what I read here some of you need to learn your system better........I know that didn't go well.........as your all experts but belive me after 18 years with computers I am not and nither are most of you.........you just have to work with them. and learn your system........as as Banner says........they all will cause trouble.....

    Trying to Decide

    I have a MH 721... 2 years old and I push it hard at a flea market every weekend every week 3 days and I also have a Omega OM 60 that cost 3 times as much.......I love my 721 but I use it with Flexi-Pro software and Signlab, Cuts fine and starts and ends where it is supposed to. all I Can tell you is do what you think is best.......I have had Roland, Gerber, Newstar, and Refine........ all have worked well but the Sign Blazer to me is Junk..........So I would be looking at software.......... cutters are only as good as the software.......Banner John steared mr to the MH-721 and I have never been sorry..... maybe tomorrow I will be, but not as of yet..........Big JimT
