    I'm a designer with some sign shop experience from college and we've been having a ton of small decal jobs come in for a restaurant that we've just launched. So I've convinced my boss to looking into purchasing a plotter for our office so we don't have to continuously bother printers for these little odd jobs. Are there any recommendations for plotters on the cheaper side that produce decent work? We're not looking to purchase a $1,000 plotter or anything. Just one that can get some simple tasks done. Do you think that it's worth it to purchase a cheaper plotter? Thanks in advance -CJ

    I tried getting in contact with Orafol to try and get a sample vinyl book from them but have had no such luck getting a response from them. Does anyone know how I can get a hold of one of these for my office?

    We've purchased the SC Model. It should be here tomorrow. We're very excited. We are very much so a design agency first so the adobe elements are our game. We have a client that has required a lot of various decals and the prices for some of them have been absurd. I used to work in a sign shop in college that did vinyl cutting so I'm ready to get back in that game. Thanks for the help

    Great, thanks. I'm looking at the SC unit. Couple more questions that I would rather hear from actual people. Are these Mac friendly machines? Is the software easy to navigate? I see a lot of mention of CorelDraw. Is that needed or are these friendly with illustrator? I think thats all I have for now?

    http://instagram.com/p/j0byjZrtj5/ Here is an image of the most intricate piece that we've had produced for them so far. It will never be anything more than that. I forsee us using it mostly for big typography for a-frame signage and various "TRASH" or door "PUSH" signs. Let me know if that's helpful.
