Hi all,

So I've bought a laser machine to expand my business, from cutting paper/card to other materials.
I sell cutfiles for scrapbooking at my website www.peartreecutfiles.co.uk and am in the process of extending our range to include embellishments.

I managed to buy a second hand Red Dragon Laser 4040 (Chinese import of course), with just 2 hours run time on it. Initial tests are going well, and I've ordered a 150mm inline fan to clear the smoke and fumes.

I am expecting to produce items from felt, cork, 2mm plywood and mountboard (chipboard).

Thanks,
Steven.

Welcome Steven- I perused your website and believe there would be a market for graphic file with laser owners- many are not comfortable with graphics programs but would like to produce gifts for friends/family. I notice that there is no option for US currency BTW. We recommend recording your Vendor files [see the FAQ section] as they are often lost when people are exploring/troubleshooting in the learning stages of our machines/software. Gene
