Uncle Remus 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Just received my Copam 2500 today & after worrying if I should have bought a Graphtek instead, I was pleasently surprised when I opened the package. There was no problems with putting it together & it appears to be very well made. I have not cut anything with it yet, but that will be taken care of by tommorrow morning. I will give you my thoughts on it's cutting abilities after I test it out on a few designs. One last thing is it pronounced CO-PAM or COP-AM? or maybe something differant?

Guest fivestar Posted February 11, 2009 LOL remus......I always promounce it CO-PAM.......but I may have been pronouncing it wrong the whole time. At least nobody could hear me but myself. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted February 11, 2009 Hey Unc , If you want to see what a Co-pam ( the way I pronounce it ) cuts , look at Benr98 entry in the weeding contest . VERY intricate & makes a dime look big . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted February 11, 2009 I also say it as 'Co-Pam'......Just cut a new design with it last night, makes that dime look even larger. I'll get a clear shot of it today to share. btw........thanks Rodger...I know you can do it to! Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted February 11, 2009 mayby , But your Co-pam might be better than mine I did buy serial to serial cables this week & have installed it on the Co-pam here at the farm . When I get home , I'll try it on that 1 , I'll see if I can tell any difference . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Remus 0 Posted February 12, 2009 OK..day 2 not so good..spent most of the day trying to get my laptop to talk to my copam...must not be good in chinese....Finally solved that problem & now the copam will stop in the middle of a job, it does it at about the same time everytime. The lcd will say cutting, but their is no cutting action going on. Up until it does this it cuts perfectly. What is making it stop??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Remus 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Ok..now I switched to signblazer & it cut perfectly....with signgo it would stop mid-cut & i had to turn power off to recycle. Wonder Why??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 12, 2009 sometimes it is best not to question the cutter Gods. It could be many things,but if it cuts fine with SB then it's not the cutter. Maybe somone with signgo can make a guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King of Teez 0 Posted February 12, 2009 I also just got my Co Pam today. Have not cut anything yet... But it has a very solid build. I am excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted February 12, 2009 John , I don't have SignGo , but I'll guess anyway ......... SignBlazer is betta than SignGo . ( OR at least he has ALL the settings correct in the computer-SignBlazer-Cutter & he doesn't in the computer-SignGo-cutter ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Remus 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Here is a little something I cut out with my new copam. Overall I am very happy with my copam, not a problem one with the cutter itself, just a few software issues which is to be expected with anything when a computer running windows is involved. I posted my little decal for a customer in 'show your work'...didn't you see it? Nice work, you must have super eyes to do all that weeding on them small cuts you been making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opsid-Design 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Is it better to get the laserpoint 24" or the copam 24"? I am trying to do this in a long run as a small business in top of my silk screen printing. any suggestion or ideas for a newbie? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted March 21, 2009 I have the Co-Pam . I bought it because it is describes as industrial quality . I could let loose of the few hundred extra when i was buying . I will never need contour cutting & also the Co-Pam has an optical eye which measures the vinyl . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
