On a side note, I just posted some info about converting pen plotters
into vinyl/sign cutters on the signmaker list (I'm listowner there, too).
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/signmaker/Website that sells swivel blade holders to fit many pen plotters,
software that does offset cut compensation (to compensate for the
caster effect), etc. Go take a look if interested.
I have a Calcomp 1044 pen plotter, 36" paper path, that I'm thinking
of getting a blade holder for. I already have a Graphtec vinyl cutter
that can cut 18" wide (out of 24" wide vinyl) so I'm in no hurry.
