You’ll also find new design and color features. SignLab 7.1 features a new way of creating see-through graphics using Contra Vision’s transparent products. Version 7.1 makes white ink easier to use. Like you, we’re seeing more printers built with this capability, but it’s sometimes difficult to work with white-ink processes. For example, SignLab’s Version 7.1 has white-ink printing features. We’ll present a new-features overview before we look at details. At minimum, you need a Pentium 3 processor with a speed of 350MHz or faster.ĬADlink recommends a Pentium 4 with a clock speed of at least 1GHz, but you can run SignLab with as little as 64MB of RAM. You must be running Windows XP or 2000 you should have 40GB of free-disk space, though it will run with as little as 1GB. That said, let’s outline the software’s system requirements. SignLab offerings start with a worthwhile, small-shop package that’s incrementally upgradeable to the company’s pro version.ĬADlink’s SignLab Print-and-Cut Pro Version has a few features that reach beyond our shop’s equipment.
You can read our previous review (see ST, July 2005, page 73) or take our word that the base package is a full-featured, robust sign package. We’re reviewing those upgrades here, not SignLab’s full box. They gave us a demo presentation, and we learned CADlink had added significant functionality to the package. To our surprise, they told us to check out the new version: SignLab. We didn’t expect a new SignLab package, because it takes time to update complex, sign-design programs.Īlmost as a joke, we asked CADlink’s staff if anything was new. This year, at ISA’s 2006 Sign Expo in April, while cruising for new ideas, we casually stopped by the CADlink booth. We were impressed with the software, a solid choice for any well-rounded signshop. You’ll also enjoy many cutting production tools such as power weeding and contour cutting.Last year, we reviewed Version 7 of CADlink’s flagship SignLab sign-design software. SignLab Vinyl offers all the classic text-design and layout tools you love. Fully upgradeable to our more integrated packages as your needs grow.įor the small to mid size professional design shop that produces vinyl-cut signageĪ strongly featured design and production software for shops that do vinyl-cutting only. SignLab Entry™ starts your business off on the right foot by providing the right tools for the job at an entry-level price. All the standard sign-specific layout and design tools that you can't find in stripped down “in the box” cut-only packages or in desktop publishing programs masquerading as sign making packages. A vinyl cutting product, “SignLab Entry”, is a professional entry-level sign making software package designed for the new shop.
