Still working with my Omega and have my gerber 4b but it is broken on the clamps where they hold the vinyl on the roller. It's too small anyway but kept it around in case computers went down/plus it is great for stencils and a workhorse.

I'm ready to find a 24 inch plotter that will talk to my Gerber Omega software; anyone want to get rid of their old, old plotter?

i have never owned anything other then ROLANDS!!!
I AM ON #4......only reason for that, i started with a PNC-1000. only would cut 3 sizes 15", 18", & 20". i sold it for almost as much as i paid for it 5 years earlier)))) bought a PCN-1100. this was a 2" to 24" cutter anywhere in that space. it worked so good when i set up the mobile sign shop(2000)i bought another PNC-1100. THESE LOOK LIKE A cx-24 roland BUT ARE NOT THE SAME. the PNC series is the CAMM-PRO . i got a chance to buy a CX-300, 2" to 30", on a stand and way faster then the PNC-1100. i sold the 2 1100's for what i paid for the CX-300.
did i say the CX-300 IS SO QUITE.....you can talk when its working))))
OH AND ROLANDS cut directly from corel)))

thank you all! I am still not ready to go to corel to learn or buy it, as I know Omega so well and still want to keep my 4 b around for stencils, but, I never say never!
