Enhance the sign making power of CorelDRAW
SignTools 4 is
the most powerful and easy to use sign making add-on for CorelDRAW.
Not only does it allow you to cut vinyl graphics directly from Corel Draw, it also
contains over 35 sign making tools, including many innovative tools not
available in any other software.
Many of these tools make designing vinyl cut and large format printed signs a breeze, even if you are not a skilled designer.
It works from within Corel Draw and eliminates the need to export graphics and then import them into sign making software. In fact SignTools 4 turns Corel Draw into arguably the best sign program currently available.

What Do SignTools Users Have To Say?
As I was originally a printer I have been CorelDraw user from
the first time I used CorelDraw 2. Then I went into the sign business after
CorelDraw 11 came out. I have tried every known software to be able to cut
from Corel and eventually stumbled on to SignTools3. Compared to all the
rest I did try where your drawing is imported in to it or other stand alone
sign software which is not only expensive but complicated, Signtools3 was
the easiest, quickest and best I have ever used. I did have a little problem
but found that there was always a helpful Andrew on the end of my email or
on the phone. So as a loyal SignTools user I upgraded to SignTools4 and what
a difference. I thought SignTools3 was good but SignTools4 is fantastic.
Well done for a brilliant way of cutting which I would highly recommend and
made my business a cut above my competitors. |
