as usual the mfr. says nothing about anything i want to know about... in search etc... before I invest more in coral draw... can i cut vinyl on my ioline plotter or an old gerber s/750 plotter... etc. it has to be in layman terms or it has vertually no value to the common man that i am... i am trying to learn coral on the student version at this time... thanks for any response on this matter. larry @ sign-man
Hello m3signs; I don't think you will find a better cutting software than SignLab.I have tryed otheres, SignLab will do somethings easer than CorelDraw for making signs. ( the best blad offset to match the cutter i've used ) ( No Picks ).

Hi.
I like the chisel effect in signlab. I've not seen it in any other software yet.
Just a note. I highly recommend saving all files in coreldraw .cdr format. If you start saving files in signlab, flexi, etc, you will be more "trapped" as those companies want you to be. You'll be dependent on using their program forever to open your files just as they plan.
CorelDraw gives you the flexibility to convert your accumulated files easily, in any version of Draw, to almost any format.

I've used them all ( Flexi, Signlab, Casmate, SIgn Wizard etc)...stick with CorelDRAW it does EVERYTHING.
You'll just need the right plugin. Signcut works, CoCut works - again I have used both. I like signcut better. Both have generic hpgl drivers. I would inquire to both companies about what plotters they support.

right now I am completely with corel and a program called Winplot, it is distributed with All Summa brand cutters, the only cutter I would ever buy.

100% agreed, I've been using Corel Draw now for about 10 years for a sign shop.. nothing compares to it..
