That is actually the one I was going to recommend if you didn't need anything larger than 30in. Where did you buy it from and where are you going to get your supplies from? I should have told you I work in the sign supply business first. That way, I could have told you what you should have paid for it just in case they tried to stick it to you.

I got the plotter, LXi master software some supplies like squeegies, weeding pick, and a 20yd roll of vinyl for 1395.00. The plotter is actually relabeled by sign warehouse as their own "vinyl express" , but it is actually a graphtec ce-3000-60. Send me some sample pricing and brand of vinyl you carry. What state are you in?
This one, only with the upgraded software.

I'm in Texas but the company I work for has 26 locations accross the US. Let me log in to our system real quick and check to see if that was a decent price for the plotter. I will update this post with info.
You actually got a great deal unless our pricing is not updated in our system.

what you think a older SUMA is worth? I have a Suma d 1300 54Inch that I am kickin around sellin......I have done graphics for years, and have ALL the fixins, but my software is a bit outdated....Flexi sign from like 10 years ago. Just use it more to trace and cut what I build in Illustrator.
Not gettin straight answers out here on a price to sell it for.

I have no experience with Suma plotters, only Gerber and Graphtec. Maybe check on Ebay for that exact model or something similar. The good thing about Flexi is that you can upgrade somewhat cheap if you already have a version.
There are more diesel sign guys than I though.

LOL I owned a shop that did mostly diesel body repair, paint, sandblasting, bedliners, decals/truck lettering, and on and on we were a one stop shop....
Closed up the shop and brought the plotter home for a side gig, and now kickin around either doing more or just getting out of it.

What's the best software for vectorizing? The software I've got sucks..or maybe it's operator error LOL

Hey QtrHorse
How does this compare with the Roland gx-24? I've been looking for a cutter myself and was looking into the Roland. Why do you suggest a Graphtec?

I bought this one.http://signwarehouse.com/specials/Qe60_pkg1.html
It is a graphtec, only relabeled by signwarehouse. Graphtec dropped this model # to introduce their new version, The cutter is awesome to say the least and runs quiet! Call them and ask for Claudia Prado and tell her I sent you (David Salazar), she gave me that deal above with the "master" software that comes with the 1895.00 package. They may not give you the deal on the first call, but trust me they will call you back. I owned a Rolamd Camm 1 before and it was also a great cutter, but I like this one more. Look up pics of a Graphtec ce-300-60 and pics of the Vinyl express Qe60+..........IDENTICAL.Good luck

I have no experience with the Rolands either. From what I know, they are decent. I only recommend Graphtec because they make a cheap 24in plotter and I know people that still use there's every day just about with no problems after 6 years. Maybe a belt change but that's it. I know you can get the Rolands cheap from Graphic's solution but they are a Texas based sign supply company.
