In their own words
MacSign
MacSign is paid software for designing and producing vinyl signs, stencils, thermal transfers, rhinestone heat transfers, window tint and paint protection films. Its tools draw and transform vector artwork, trace scanned images, edit lettering and organize work in layers. Rhinestone layouts can place vector stones along paths or inside shapes, with adjustable fills and spacing that recalculate after artwork changes. MacSign supports vinyl cutting and print-and-cut workflows, including printing through a RIP before contour cutting. Multiple plotters can have separate job queues, and cutters can communicate over Raw TCP/IP. Plug-ins transfer designs from Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW and add supported registration marks. Documented cutter technologies include Summa OPOS and FlexCut, Graphtec ARMS, and Mutoh EPOS and cut-through, depending on equipment and feature. Plans are Lite, Cut and Full, with no prices listed.
