Have a Gerber 15" high speed plotter plus (swivel knife). Runs on win 98 with select (low end) software.
Security lock is fried and Gerber wants about $1100.00
to upgrade to Omega software running on win XP. I think Gerber is terrific but the price is steep. Is there any other software options that will run my plotter at a better price. I do only small vinyl projects and am retired from the sign business after 40 years but still feel the pull of the graphics so I just to magnetic signs, some windows etc. Am no threat to any established
sign companies just enjoy the commerce. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

One thing you could do before you spend $1100 is to get the package I got for $1500.I got a 24" plotter, LXI sign software,clipart cd,plotter stand,alot of extra stuff to go with it.Email me back for other ideas.
