Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 3, 2013 I just sold mine a few weeks ago for $360. The software is no biggie if you can't get it working just get a subscription to SignCut Pro. I had great success with my P-Cut and only got rid of it because I splurged on a Summa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGreen 5 Posted October 3, 2013 Well I ended up get'n 4 rolls of 15"x50 yard new rolls of LG vinyl and a half a roll of clear mask 24" wide and a unused can of frog juice and a can that had been used plus the cutter , stand , and some new blades . Got it all for $240 . So I feel I done ok . Just hope it does contour cut'n . I just couldn't pass it up for that kind of money for everything . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 3, 2013 My P-Cut didn't contour cut. Unless you print it won't be an issue anyway. Tracking is a little suspect on long stuff but I ran SignCut Pro most of the time I had it and you can set that to cut step-by-step and cut everything within a given user defined distance before moving on which can save you on the big stuff over 36" long. Cutting text was never a problem because each piece was its own object but a super big graphic or oval would get off when it came back around to connect. The only other real issue I had with it was static electricity will wig out the brain. Get some anti-static cling spray and fog the area if you feel the hairs on your arm lifting when you are loading the vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGreen 5 Posted October 3, 2013 Ya was hoping this model would as I wanted to get in to printed . Will see what it does if nothing else If I don't like the cutter I still will make plenty off all the vinyl . . And can use this cutter as a back up just in case my other has a problem .

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted October 3, 2013 You can turn basically any vinyl cutter into a contour cutter by purchasing Flexistarter10. The contour cutting is in the program. You do not need a laser. The program measures from the blade in the middle of the registration mark and records it in the software. You can usually find it under $130 on EBAY http://www.ebay.com/itm/FLEXI-10-Vinyl-Cutting-Plotter-Software-Dongle-Key-Contour-Cutting-USED-/390672756929?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5af5e930c1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
