I didn't mean to offend you or anyone, it is a great hobby, and a rewarding job. Thank you for your help on this. I hear that the Jaguar plotter has a pouncing option as well as the roland plotters, I'm thinking if the copams blades will interchange with the rolands their pouncing set up may work also. Does anyone have any ideas on this subject ?

Cool, As a long time sign maker I would like to request that people using these machines research in Signcraft magazine the going prices for signs and related products so as not to under bid sign profesionals who are in business to make a living, you might be very suprised to find the market value for the things you can make. Please remember our overhead, insurance, shop rent, and all associated costs are very high. Please be fair to us, Thank you.

Thanks, Do you hand letter?, did you paint planes? What do you use your cutter for?

Thanks for the reply, never heard of eyebrowing on mylar, how does that work, is that something I can do to transfer patterns ? I didn't want to make any of you new style sign makers upset with me, just because it says "newbie" doesn't mean us older guys can't make signs, it is the "second oldest profesion". There were signs before computers. FWIW I also airbrush and pinstripe. (and I keep a dictionary at the shop)

Old time sign painters tool, has a little wheel, about 1/4", with sharp points around it, and a handle on it about 5" long, run it over your paper pattern, it makes a series of holes through the paper, sand the back side with sandpaper to open the holes, place pattern in proper place on sign face, go over pattern with a chalk bag to transfer pattern onto sign face, then hand letter to make a sign the old way, B.C. (before computers) , Some cutter/plotter machines have this capability, I was wondering if the Copam 2500 can do this. I've made signs for over 20 years, and am a little late in catching up with the new computer age.

Can the copam 2500 cutter do pounce patterns, is there a pounce wheel option to use with this machine?
