    HOOOOOOOOly crap. I just read all 13 pages of this, and wow. Really, i mean WOW. insane stuff. I wondered about copyright issues as i've already been approached to cut some yamaha stickers...but now? OH HELLLLLLLL no.  well, from what i see, I can cut them and give them as a gift, but not sell for profit, huh?  I was asked by a friend...but when someone asks them and then that someone is approached, No way to be sure they won't roll over on me. Scary! Poor Lara. wondered how it turned out for her?

    So, here is the question of the day. how do we know what is copyrighted and what is not? 

    Example: i want to cut a "cowboy up" sticker...well? is someone going to come jump me in a dark alley? this is really scary stuff!  i liked that a written disclaimer should be issued and signed....example: local gardening business wants me to letter their trailer. It's their business and their trailer. I letter it, with their decal, then later find out they're subsidiary's of a larger company and they jump me.

    How do you protect yourself?

    Hey Chase,

    Thank you so much for the advice. I hear you...even tho we have a 37' class A, we also have four rowdy kids (okay three rowdy kids, the youngest is only a month old LOL) and there is *&^% EVERYWHERE! I'm layin' down the law!

    Really, i'm just thinking of doing simple graphics, like "Got Sand" or whatever....stuff like that. We have a ton of Hare scrambles (District 37!) and desert races around here, in addition to tons of other recreation, like RC cars, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, hiking, kayaking, etc. I'm hoping. The motorhome is really just going to be a workspace when we're out and about.  But i seriously need to get organized anyways, that advice never hurt anyone.

    Thanks for writing. :thumbsup:

    Thank you all!! 

    I'm leaning towards a *new* GCC expert 24. I'm trying to touch base with their support department to see how much it doesn't suck. Hopefully it doesn't suck alot. :rolleyes: Heck, you can buy it now or best offer on EBAY, with a stand, their software corel and autocad plugins, shipped for something like 420, give or take a bit. not too shabby. Here's the best part: it comes with a 1 year warranty and then an additional 3 mos on top of that. But as one wise cutter suggested...make sure you can connect with their support department....Support spoken in chinese is no help. True, true. :)

    we'll see how it goes.  Greenie, I'm probably going to go for the new cutter, so i'm not purchasing your ProCut...sorry, and i appreciate your time. You'll sell it soon, Just wait and see. B)

    I surely appreciate all of the help! If anyone out there has a GCC, let's compare notes.

    I hope it has that *new cutter smell* LOL

    Thanks, Hockeygirl--I just went to U-tube (was directed there from one of the ebay auctions) and it looks clean and easy to use. there are actually quite a few videos on this model.

    Again, Thank you for your input. This is totally affordable...seems like they offer good support, too. actually has a one year warranty; they sound confident, huh? there were reviews as well from people who were satisfied with the cutter. At this point, i think i'm down to a GCC Expert or a Creation Procut.  24". that oughta get me going...

    tlzimmerman,

    Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your .02...you offered more like .05, though...LOL

    I have heard good things about the refines...and really, i've had my heart set on a COPAM. I'm always on the lookout for a used one...but not surprisingly, you don't see them. awhile back there was a refurbed one on this site and i kick myself for not jumping on it. Grrr....

    anyways, i've downloaded the free version of signblazer...pretty easy to use. i'm also going to get the inkscape...got the tip to go get it.

    I appreciate your feedback concerning blades and vinyls....question: will these less expensive machines accomodate vinyl that is of a lasting thickness? What i mean is, if i'm looking for a 5-7 year vinyl, does the thickness of the vinyl matter? or is it all about the quality of it, as you've stated? 

    Thank you!!!  ;)

    hahaha good thing...i felt so...sniff sniff...preyed upon! hahaha! yes, it does say NEWBIE under my name...LOL!!  it's cool--but that's funny, don't care who you are! :thumbsup:

    S-doggy,  (you sent me that tip so we're on nickname basis now, LOL)  I've actually been looking in the 30 to 36 range....that oughta do it, i think. I'd like to be able to do decently sized vehicle graphics for trailers/work trucks, etc....
