Vermonster 111 Posted May 25, 2008 Hey All. Not new to Signage, but possibly might be buying a US Cutter. I figured who better to check with than the people who use them. I've been doing signs and vector editing for about 4 years now. I had a Roland PC-60 and a Seiki Tech plotter (ewww) and decided to take some time off for a while and got rid of all my equipment. I'm looking to make a comeback again with a 24" machine probably as I never really had a need to do much more than 20" or so. Was hoping maybe to get some feedback from current owners of US Cutters. Having owned a mid priced (Roland) and a low priced (Seiki Tech) I figured since I'm more of a weekend warrior who likes designing the vectors as much (if not more than doing the vinyl work) then I would stay at the lower end of the price range... I definitely didn't like the Seiki. They admittedly shipped bad mounting brackets, never sent the new ones, material rollers were bent and the thing didn't plot correctly. I'm really looking for the following features... Accuracy Quality Ease of operation Quietness (I do it in the basement while kids are sleeping usually) I have 2 years left on my subscription for SignCut and I also have Corel X3, FlexiSign, Illustrator and Inkscape just to name a few of the apps at my disposal. Anyway, thought I'd shout out and say hey and get reading this board I'm located in South Jersey if anyone is willing to open their shop up to let me check a machine out or something...

Buggie Pilot 4 Posted May 26, 2008 I got a Creation P-Cut 24" with SignBlazer 06 a couple of months ago. It hasn't given me ANY problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted May 26, 2008 I have a Seiki and a refine. The Seiki has been problem free for over 2 years BUT I will admit that the Refine tracks better. My next cutter will be a refine for sure. The tech support alone is worth buying from US Cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
