I bought a COPAM 2500 for work back in 2008. It is just a 24" vinyl cutter, was cheaper than having all the signs made up for the new factory we built.

I have done some of the graphics on my formula and last year we bought a heat transfer press for doing T-shirts. Use it for all kinds of things, hard to image not have access to it now. Fun to make your own stickers.

couple of things, a PDF file is a low level file designed so most anybody can open and view, that have to be converted to a vector file to have lines to cut from, when starting with a PDF and trying to make a good vector file is like trying to make chicken salad from chicken s@#t...and if you do not have a good graphics program..just more issues. You really need a EPS file to work from to be able to make decnt product for the most part...the gerber software we run cost over $6k just for it....

A start... They are small I have a feeling making them bigger will reduce quality

Did not say worthless...just entry level stuff that most real shops would figure out quick that does not get the job done for a lot of things...like buying a bayliner when getting into boating...

Hey Mike, I like that top one A LOT! I'm gonna send you over my bad influence stuff...think I've got it in .pdf and vector. Mail me back or give a call and let me know if you can swing it...I think I'm gonna do a run of shirts again this winter, and I'd LOVE to have a bunch of stickers to give out. Thanks!

I can order any type of vinyl.... But I'm going to use the free stuff they sent with machine when I'm learning.
