Introducing SignGo
SignGo is cutting software for Windows. You design or import graphics for cutting on a plotter or for printing. You can also cut around printed graphics to create stickers or decals. SignGo works only on Windows computers. There is a Lite version and a Pro version with extra features (see a comparison here). It's free to use for 30 days so go ahead and give it a try.
SignGo is great for making signs by cutting vinyl from rolls or sheets. However you can do much more than that. For example heat transfer graphics for T-shirt, textile and promotional goods, decals, paint masks, glass frosting and decorative etching templates, craft stencils, sandblast stencils, stickers, automotive window tint, paint protection and so on...
SignGo is easy to use and versatile, helping you turn your ideas into reality.
Create and cut lettering at any size using Truetype, Opentype and Type 1 fonts installed on your system. If your cutter is too small for the job no problem, SignGo will automatically tile it for you.

Text Editor
Enter and edit text directly into the layout. Individual characters and words can be selected and manipulated in the same way as a word processing package. Font styles, size, spacing, baseline shift and slant angle are all easily adjusted on screen. Automatic kerning is complemented by the ability to create and save custom kerning pairs for any font on your system. Placing text along a curve or around a shape is as easy as clicking a mouse button and you can even create and edit your own fonts.
Node Editing
Powerful editing tools give you total control over outlines. Individual lines, curves and nodes can be manipulated to any degree for perfect results.
Welding
Fully comprehensive welding tools allow you to merge, subtract and intersect multiple objects.
Advanced Cutting Features
A wealth of features are included to make vinyl sign production a breeze. Colour separation, flexible tiling, weed borders, multiple copies, data spooling, rotation and resize to name but a few.
Direct Scanning (Pro version)
The built-in interface means you can easily retrieve images from TWAIN sources such as scanners and digital cameras. TWAIN Twain is an industry standard for communications with scanners and other forms of picture input devices. Some digital cameras also use the TWAIN interface to allow images to be loaded directly into the program.
Image Tracing (Pro version)
You can easily convert (trace) bitmap images to high quality outlines suitable for cutting. You can convert black and white (line-art), greyscale and even colour images.
Shadows (Pro version)
Every conceivable shadow effect is available through a simple toolbar. Automatic welding produces cuttable outlines every time, without overlapping lines. Offsets and surrounds are easily defined and you can decide whether you want your shadow effect to butt join or overlay.
Distortions (Pro version)
Choose from perspective, envelope and sphere effects to create any kind of distortion. You can even apply distortions to bitmap images.
Gradient Fills (Pro version)
Create colourful graduated fills using "drag and drop" colouring. You can add as many colours as you wish as well as control the position and angle of the effect.
Texture Fills (Pro version)
Use any bitmap image to create a texture. total control of the size, shape and angle of the texture is offered via a simple graphical control.
Transparent Fills (Pro version)
Transparency values can be given to any object (including bitmaps) allowing objects beneath to "show through". You can also apply graduated and shaped transparent fills. Combine transparent fills with gradient fills for endless possibilities and you can even apply transparent textures.
Advanced Cutting Features
A wealth of features are included to make vinyl sign production a breeze. Colour separation, flexible tiling, weed borders, multiple copies, data spooling, rotation and resize to name but a few.
Print and Cut (Pro version)
The "cut around" attribute is used to define cutting contours for printer/cutter devices. It is also used for calibrating a printed graphic for contour cutting on a separate cutting plotter.
