Why did you need a new cutter?
?The main reason that I am getting a new cutter is because like Rob said, I need something more accurate. Now dont get me wrong, I like my LP, but it dont do very good at tracking on long cuts. I will be keeping it to use, but the main thing that I will use it for is doing heat press vinyl. After I get the graphtec setup, I will move my LP to another room and do all of my shirts in there, that way I dont get the fuzz all over my vinyl decals. Now if I hadnt sold my 4-wheeler, there aint no way I would have got one right now.

Here ya go FM.

Well, the hunt is over. I have ordered a Graphtec CE-5000 from USCutter. One of the main reasons that I am going with this unit, is because they will supposedly be releasing a driver for this unit that will make it compliant with the Vista-64. I never could find anything about the roland being compatible with Vista-64 and I could not find a unit that came with the stand that was in my price range. I have been looking for awhile, and the only reason that I was able to do this is because I sold one of my 4-wheelers and my wife said that I could use the money for a new cutter and this took every bit of it. As soon as I get it set-up and a few cuts run through it, I will post a new thread about what I like/dislike about it. One order that I will be doing has 3 lines of text and the shortest one is about 75-80 inches long, so I guess I will get to see if it tracks good also. Again, thanks to everyone's input.
Thanks, Jason (Dellrose)

Like I said earlier, I have vista 64 on my desktop also. So far, I have not had any problems with it, other that it dont like SBE but my laptop that has XP also dont like it either.

Thanks Bud. Also, what OS do you have on your computer?

Well, it is time for a new cutter. Right now, I am looking at either the Graphtec CE-5000-60 24" Cutting Plotter, or the Roland GX-24 Vinyl Cutter Plotter. In ya'lls opinion, which do you think would be the best for the money? I am looking to spend between $1200-1500 for one and I know that both of these are good units. The only thing that I have going against me is, my computer has Vista 64-bit on it. I have never had any trouble with my laserpoint 24, but I aint sure if anything else will be compatible with my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jason (Dellrose)

Thanks everyone. I finally found one that was free. Just couldnt see paying $40-50 for a font just to use it one time.
But, maybe you could help me with a couple of more fonts that I have been looking for. I need both of these for a couple of jobs that I am working on.

Use the 9-pin Serial connection with the 64-bit computer, and all should be well.
This is exactly what I am using as we speak. If you dont have a serial card already, you need to make sure that you get one that is compatible with vista 64.
Click on the link for a compatible card, as this is where I got mine from.

Thanks. I will see what I can come up with.

Thanks Mark. Do you know of anywhere that I can download it for free? I have been looking all afternoon, and have not had any luck yet.
Thanks.

I need some help identifying this font. I have tried "whatthefont.com" with out any luck. The slanted is the origanal, and the other one is where I straightened it to try also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks, Dellrose

Print, I will post it tomorrow night or monday. I am at work right now, so I cant get to my files. I think I got it off of this forum, but I dont remember for certain.

It has been a while since I have posted any of my work on here, but here a few pictures of what I have been up to.
Shirts:
Decals:
If all goes well, I should be doing a sign for Amsteel, and hopefully some shirts also. I am also going to be talking to the manager of a local Sonic resturaunt to see about doing some signs and decals for them also.

I am working on a race car, and I need a particular font for one of the sponors. I will attach an image of the font to see if you can recognize it.
Thanks, Jason (Dellrose)

Good job. Do you get your eco-film in packages or rolls and where?
This was some samples that I had ordered to try out.
So far I like how it cuts and weed.

Shipping Time?

I ordered some vinyl from USCutter last friday night. I got 1 roll today that came from GA., and the rest are coming with my cutter that is scheduled to be here tomorrow. I have gotten it sooner than that before, but it maily depends on when you order I guess. Its hard to beat USCutter's prices, considering what some places charge for shipping.
