Legendaryloot 3 Posted May 14, 2020 does the this one do everything you need VinylMaster Letter Retail Edition 4.2 V? or is it missing things? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 14, 2020 Letter may be missing a few things compared to Pro but it's better than the Cut (basic) version. https://www.uscutter.com/static/PDFs/VinylMaster_Comparison.pdf I would most definitely chose VM over sure cuts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted May 14, 2020 While I am an avid fan of SignBlazer (which is abandonware and no longer upgradeable) I'm also running the Vinylmaster program mainly because it has a very nice "vector engine" to convert raster graphics into cut files. Also, the Library of provided graphics is something you might get some value from using. Every week, I'll reach in there to grab something to add to a sign or design I'm working on. While you are exploring the program, spend some time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this graphics storehouse. Enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 14, 2020 Inkscape is free also 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted May 14, 2020 Inkscape is a very powerful design program however it is not a native cutting program. It does have the ability to cut but it's pretty limited. I typically design in Inkscape then save the file off as an EPS and open it in either Signblazer or VM, but any cutting program compatible with your cutter will do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmax 166 Posted August 14, 2021 Used SignBlazer for a long time then bought a Titan2 cutter with VM Cut. . After a while upgraded to PRO and have been very pleased. A lot of very useful features in VM. You can't go wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
