DoblW 3 Posted June 25, 2016 Hello, I want to upgrade my Graphtec CE6000-60 to a Graphtec FC8600-100 or SummaCut D120 or Summa S2 D120. As a Mac OS X user and not using Illustrator, since there are now better options, like InkSpace, Affinity Designer, Graphic from AutoDesk. I'm looking for opinions from users using SignCut Pro or MacSign. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 26, 2016 If you aren't using illustrator then you might want to stick with MacSign. Just be sure to get a high enough level to have all the design and cutting bells and whistles you will want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 28, 2016 Another possible option for you if you are trying to have an all in one program might be Vinyl Master. Windows based so you'd have to run parallels but it's probably the best design and cut program I have seen in a bang for the buck comparison. I'm pretty skeptical of most design and cut programs due to either ridiculous prices (Flexi) or lack of ability (SCALP) and have been surprised and the robust features in VM Pro. If you are Illustrator functional and have it already then SignCut is probably the way to go especially for a mac environment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoblW 3 Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks Wild, I've heard about VM too. On the other side Parrales runs beautifully on Mac you're going to like itis having a great PC, haha!. Me I just try to avoid any PC app, usually interface design is clumsy. Unfortunately, I'm stuck to get the wider Graphtec or Summa until I sell the CE6000-60, my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro Retina 15". Btw, any choice preference on transfers tapes? Thanks, again for your support. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 29, 2016 I have always been partial to 4075RLA but I tried out some of there Transfer Right Ultra High tack this last time and have been impressed by that super adhesion. USCutter is also carrying Maintape now too which is another well known performer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USCutter is also carrying Maintape now too which is another well known performer. It's a clear tape, for multicolor decals registration and does it has good archival life for ready to ship decals? Good news, just sold my iPad today, only left the MacBook and CE6000 and I might be an FC8600 or Summa owner. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
