thanx jay,its pretty much the manual online but its easier to read.

thank alot john ive seen that video before,i was hopeing for more in depth help.but you are right all that money for the software and its kinda difficult to use

does anyone know where i can find any kind of free training for flexisign 8?

oh,did u get my addy in the p.m i sent u?

i must be outta the loop,i have never heard of using dye based inks with any kind of heat transfer! amazing.

yes,im using opaque roll paper also,and i use both,pigment based for all my garments (magic mix brand) and sublimation for my other products (airtranium brand).i have 2 epson 1280 and 4 c88 (2 of the still in the box brand new that i got from radio shack for 35 bucks when epson discountinued them) for back up to my 1280's i also use the c88's for garments or products that require samller prints.i have i have cis systems in both my pigment machines no cis on the sublimation machines,the ink is too expensive to take a chance with.did i read that right,you are using dye based for heat transfers?

ACTUALLY,I JUST MADE A CHOICE TODAY,I BROKE MY PIGGY BANK AND WENT ALL OUT AND GOT A ROLAND GX 24 FROM IMPRINTABLES WAREHOUSE.I FIGURED IM GONNA BE USING IT FOR A LOT OF CONTOUR CUTTING AND I NEEDED SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY EASY TO USE,NOT SAYING THE THE LP24 ISNT BUT MY GUT WAS TELLING ME TO GO WITH THE ROLAND.OH AND AS FAR AS HEAT TRANSFERS ARE CONCERNED, I HAVE AN EPSON 1280 SO MOST OF MY TRANSFERS ARE 13" WIDE.I USE ROLL TRANSFER PAPER,ITS THE BEST DEAL I COULD FIND ANYWHERE,IT COMES OUT A LITTLE OVER A DOLLAR A SHEET FOR SUPER B SIZE( 13 X 19).BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TRY SOME OF YOUR TRANSFER PAPER,ANY SAMPLES?

ok,that being said,the lp24 is a solid machine just for regular cutting without contour? and if i go with the lp,do i get the 24" or the 36" being that the 36" is only $100 more on ebay.

thanx guys

oh,and i apologize for the repeat post,sorta speak,but im kinda desperate lol

i have been close to press the buy button about 1000 times since i joined this forum,but still havent had the courage to do it. the reason for that is ,i have never cut a thing in my life,i am the newest newbie to vinyl cutting,and i wanna do contour cuts to boot.i have done heat transfer t-shirts for quite a while now and im ready to expand to other things like signs and vehicle lettering. so this brings here.for my budget the laserpoint is the answer to my prayers.but is it the machine that a person like myself wants to use for the first time? it seems like it very difficult to do contour cutting with this machine.ive searched the forums for actual videos of someone doing contour cutting from start to finish,but havent found anything.can someone please,please,please give me some advise. is this the machine for me or should i start looking at the higher priced rolands or graphtecs?

wow.what have i started just from a simple comment to a fellow countrymen,i hope i didnt offend anyone.

i agree with joe,u rock.btw joe i just looked at ur profile and i see that ur from puerto rico i just want u to that "yo soy boricua,pa que tu lo sepa!"

actually,i have flexi 8 that a friend sent me,so the cost was zero,and the reason i want the lp36 instead of the lp24 besides contour cutting my heat transfers,is because the price difference is just $100 on ebay so why not go for the bigger machine and have the ability to cut bigger vinyl....right?.so will flexi work with the lp36 for the contour cutting? any help will be greatly appriciated like i mention before i am a total newbie with vinyl and cutters,never done it before. is there some kinda check list or things that i need to know posted anywhere?i dont even know what kind of vinyl to buy lol

wow.i just read every single post in this thread and i am very scared! i am a newbie to vinyl and i am in the process of ordering a lp36 to do contour cutting around my heat transfer for garments.am i making the right choice with the lp36? especially for a newbie who never cut vinyl before? if i use different software,say flexi will it be easier?
