I went with the copam after reading alot in this forum last year . Also the description by USCutter convinced me the extra $ was a wise decision . I don't have ANY other experience besides my 2 copam 2500's . They have been GREAT although not alot of use .

Nice sled . How long is the racetrack ? There was a sled that showed up at a 300' dirtdrag last summer that i was racing at. Did good until it lined up against my 86 CR500 . The sled sounded lethal , but weight was a big disadvantage for it . Rodger

The seperations wasn't what i wanted on the rulers ... not 1 line per inch etc ( ex. ; 0" - 10 " only has 8 larger lines & 16 smaller lines ) . Trying to make something seperated by 3" is harder than if they had 1 line per inch . I never got that good with the measuring tool . Rodger

Depending on the size and since your only doing a sliding door just run to lowes/home depot and pick up a roll there as well as you can get car window tint which is what i used from PepBoys/Advanced AutoParts/AutoZone or your neighborhood parts store, If I remember right it was $12 for a roll and I got 4 regular sized windows done with that much. Thank you & everybodyfor the advice , Rodger

5 , that is Exactly the way i remember it also , with BannerJohn being 1 of those people also . Rodger

I decided to buy it from USCutter's e-bay auctions for $99 . From what Ken & BannerJohn have said , i know it will be good . Still going to use SBE & Inkscape/SignCut Rodger

Advance Auto & Auto Zone does a free diagnostic & resets the check engine lights here in Md . I have a 98 Mazda Protege . supposed to get mid 30's mpg . The check engine light has been on & it gets 47 mpg on the road I'm not letting anybody touch it . It's been like that for a year & no holes in the piston from being too lean . Wish i knew how to replicate whatever the issue is Rodger

ps , I have 2 gigs of ram on a e-machine pc . I have many things going including Napster ( which seems to use alot of ram ) & have not had any problems unless i try to correct something AFTER sending it to the cutter the 1rst time . Rodger

I'm cheap & a VERY comparative buyer , But I can't pass up a great deal ............. last time i went fishing , sign said all the bait you want for $1 ... I bought $2 worth !!! , Rodger

Hi Marcus , a VERY satisfied customer here with MANY blades from your e-bay auctions ( RMyersExcavation ) answers 1) windows vista 2) no problems from SBE 3) 6.0.24 25th february 2008 install serial # UC22797EL0409 4) trial mode 5) installed the trial version when your co first started offering it , restored my pc a month ago . Download SBE from another thread in this forum & from another your e-bay auctions . Both work good . 6) no problems at all that wasn't on my end . Thanks for the updated info on SB . I hope they survive . I bought Flexi this past weekend . I still use SignCut when i think their GREAT weeding lines are needed . I have went to trade shows & compared prices on software & know the bargain your co gives us !!! I think having different software is like having different tools plus having back-ups . I don't sell decals & think it's worthwhile ( & I'm cheap regards , Rodger

Save SBE , IF they start doing business again , it will be valuable ( I will buy it then Rodger

I was watching a Ben Stiller movie & he had a joke like that ...... Hmmm Why do you think of why I am thinking of things like that

I agree with you 99%. I just think there should be a disclaimer or warning on the listings that tells the situation and MAYBE give the buyer the option to UPGRADE to Flexi. I have thought about that also & agree . But that could put the final nail in SignBlazers coffin . ;(

kewl , I understand your situation & have been there many times with other things . I had to restore my PC recently & downloaded SignBlazer . It works fine ( i downloaded it 2X on the same pc by mistake & am keeping both copies in case 1 works if the other crashes ) A guess to how many copies of SignCut or Flexi would USCutter need to supply to replace SignBlazer ??

HMMM , I was kidding & thought i would get some chuckles ...

My personal opinion. Profit margain is a consideration . If I paid $3,000 ( which i was within minutes of doing before i found USCutters on e-bay ) I would think there is alot more room to go beyond the original deal . I think USCutter putting FlexiStarter on e-bay at a buy it now price $50 lower than their normal discounted price ( $149 )... IS a concession to SignBlazers situation ( which is NOT USCutters fault or responsibility , IMHO again ) I bought my cutters right before SignBlazer got packaged & wished i had waited . But that is all hindsight . Being in business myself & it seems most of the posters on this board are also ... I would think everybody could think about " what if " the shoe was on the other foot . I don't think any of us would send anymore $ , IF the software lasted forever or got improved drastically . Also the manpower to find out who really deserves replacement software would take up alot of time & then there would be complaints in other areas . I respect everybodies statements, but if i was in thier position , with SignBlazer still working ( works fine for me as of now ) , I would not be giving up profit margain when it was wholesale prices anyway . regards , Rodger ( please do not take offense

I agree , It's as easy as rolling a ball down a hill ..........

USCutter has a link in their e-bay auctions for the trial version of SignBlazer http://www.colorchromefirst.com/SignBlazer_Ele_ments_USCutter.htm

Hmmm , Looking at the prices for the tint ... I think i would be better off measuring & buying the tint cut . Anybody interested ? regards , Rodger

Well ............ If ya wanna know the truth .. It was in a men's prison & it WASN"T fun !!!

Thanks for the reply . I'll find out where to buy that & give it a try . I figure wet it alot.. ( I have never done any large decals & have never done window tint ) regards , Rodger

Friday night/Saturday morning . As nice as UScutter is , I sorta expected it after me asking about it

Thanks , I seen i had linked a check-out window & replaced it John , the 3rd link is to the 2nd auction from USCutter . ( you buying another ) IF , anybody ever wants to compare prices on something on e-bay . click "advanced search " , then click the box on the next window that says "completed auctions only " & put in your keywwords . That will let you know what the end of auction prices are .

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290251953371 is the auction i won . http://completed.shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=flexistarter+8.5&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=See-All-Categories&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200&_fpos=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0 is the "advanced search in completed auctions " the 2nd USCutter Flexi auction was http://cgi.ebay.com/FlexiStarter-Vinyl-Cutter-Flexi-Sign-Starter-8-5-w-Dgl_W0QQitemZ280254738467QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280254738467&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A13&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 . I think after the weekend , there will be more Flexi starter 8.5 auctions from USCutter . I think that software works with my Copam there is another seller that includes some clipart cd that winds up selling for a similiar price , but I know what GREAT support USCutter has regards , Rodger
