Quick and Easy to learn. If you’ve ever used any design software, the user interface is extremely easy to understand .

Pros

After having used a variety of design programs over 20 Years. I needed to use a couple programs at once sometimes to achieve what it was I was trying to do. With Signmaster I can edit images, I can crop those images, I can punch out or stamp those images for precise sizes, I can tile images and I can vectorize images. I don’t know of any other program that can do all those things together.

Cons

It would be nice to have more interactive cutting options. Eg. Turning off certain cut colours and when tiling larger items being able to slide the panel box to where it can start and end so I’m not wasting material on white space. Maybe it already has that feature ? I can’t seem to access any information on it.

Response from FCL Software

This is such a lovely review, thank you, Diane. We will inform our team of this suggestion, happy cutting!

The first projects like shirts, caps and hoodies I only made for myself.
Then I started making these things for family and friends.
Now I am using Signmaster not only for making patches for clothes, I use it to design, cut or print my ideas on different materials to make art on several surfaces.
And I am one step away from starting my own business.
I only have love and thumps up for this software (:

Pros

Software is easy to understand and easy to use.
You get really good results very quickly which helps to keep on doing.
The outline and cut-contour modules are my favorites!

Cons

Sometimes the "undo" button does not work when flipping or mirroring objects.

Response from FCL Software

This is excellent feedback, thank you for this in-depth review, Felix. Happy cutting!

Great experience and thats why i havent stopped upgrading since then! I got the software together with cuyi and i upgaded from basic 3.5 to pro 3.5 and did another upgrade to v5.0

Pros

Signmaster is very versatile especially with multiple brands of plotters and alsp pffers convenience in fulfilling client needs! With the right machine, it offers stellar performance that makes cutting projects efficiently.

Cons

Theres a bug that hasnt been resolved until now. When selecting and deleting txt characters through ctrl-a, once you type, the letters are duplicated. Also, signmaster software is somewhat tied with the machine it came with, so its a pain to change machine brands and retain the upgrades specifically if you have already invested a lot. How i wish installing specific machine drivers would be within reach.

Response from FCL Software

We're so sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with our Customer Support, our team always aims to provide support within 24 hours of submitting a ticket at future.support. Yes, SignMaster is OEM, it is only designed to be used with the machine it was purchased with. Happy cutting!

I am not a daily user, but when I need this software to create and cut my stuff, I really find it handy and so far, after a few years, haven't had any issues with it.

Pros

I've been using Sign Master since 2019 when my old plotter failed and was too expensive to repair. At first, I was a little apprehensive to try a plotter that came with software. Well Sign Master proved me wrong It is not only very simple to master its very user friendly. I have several employees (interns) that know almost nothing about signs and graphics. They picked up on this program and have been able to take on designing for clients which frees me up for other projects.

Pros

Simple and easy to use, even interns can figure it out quickly.

Cons

The vectorization feature could do a better job, especially with lettering. The imaging part is pretty good.

Response from FCL Software

We’re grateful for your positive review, George. Thank you for letting us know!

People tell me how talented I am. I tell them that it is because of the software that I have. The software allows me to create many different things. I do engraving as well that has good software but I always do all of my designs in sign master and then transfer it over to the other software to burn/cut. I love sign master so much and use it everyday.

Pros

There are so many options in this software and it’s super easy to use.

Cons

There really isn’t any cons that I can think of.

Great for Basic Design Needs!

Reviewed on 2024/09/23

Pros

I absolutely love using SignMaster! The software is incredibly easy to use, making it perfect for my needs. Its versatility allows me to handle various design tasks without any hassle. Even with the basic version, I find everything I need to create high-quality designs. The intuitive interface saves me a lot of time, and I appreciate how straightforward it is to get started. I highly recommend SignMaster to anyone looking for reliable and user-friendly design software!

Cons

While I really enjoy using SignMaster, there are a few things I think could be improved. Sometimes, I find that certain features in the basic version are a bit limited, which can be frustrating when I want to explore more complex designs. Additionally, the learning curve for some advanced functions can be steep, even though the basic tools are user-friendly. Overall, I still think it's a great software, but these aspects could enhance the experience even more.

This has been particularly helpful when creating large-scale signage or campaigns that require a consistent visual identity. The intuitive interface and robust features make it easy to align elements, adjust colors, and ensure overall harmony in the final product.

In conclusion, SignMaster is a highly recommended software solution for anyone involved in design, from graphic artists to marketing professionals. Its efficiency, versatility, and ease of use make it a valuable tool for creating impactful and visually stunning designs.
