I needed lots of signs for my new business and wanted to do them myself but I don’t have much know how for computers and designing signs. My friend suggested that I get a cutter with sign master cut and it’s worked out perfectly for me. I made a pile of signs for my store and now make signs for all my friends. It is so easy with this programme 🙂

My old roland cutter finally died and I had to get a new cutter fast! I ordered a cutter from ebay to get going which included Signmaster Pro and I’ve since ordered another one it is so good! Signmaster Pro is an awesome app to work with. I use it to make decals and vinyl signs all day long. I just love my Signmaster Pro!

I use SignMaster Architect for my designs which I give to my buddy to print out for my clients. I’m super impressed with SignMaster’s design tools which rival Adobe and Corel for logo designs.

The shading tools and soft shadows are very cool and easy to use. I can whip up a logo in half an hour.
