Hi,
I started framing around 2003 and eventually bought one of the first Valiani CMC'S and it was a game changer, but we shut up shop around 2009 and have been framing again for the last 2 years with a Wizard 8500e which we bought from someone on here.
Im thinking about looking into upgrading and wondered if anyone has any plus or minus points on any of the above machines (I added Gunnar into the equation after seeing examples on another post) I have real issues cutting text on the 8500e and it wont do TTF fonts which im sure my early Valiani used to do and when I do try cutting it, it usually ends up ruining the mount card (2 sheets lost to day before I gave up and took the text off).
Many thanks for any input good or bad.
Wizard Z1 V Valiani Nexus Edge V Gunnar
