can someone please explain what cad color soulutions is?? Versacamm is the print/cut machine right??? explain that as well.. it prints and cuts.. you dont have to buy a printer??

I was researching the DTG machines.. and now comparing them to these units?? kinda confused.. I'm not interested in the silkscreen.. to much work for me since I will be starting out small. so I figured .. DTG.. but now came across the Roland Versacamm.. ?? I'm looking into printing short run t-shirts, sweatshirts, totebags, mousepads, ... I guess with versacamm you can print mugs?? is this true? what exactly can it print?? help please,
thanks

The versamcamm is a printer and a cutter for various types of vinyl material.
Cadcolor solutions is a new material developed by stahls that can be printed 7 cut with the versacamm and heat pressed onto clothing.
For all the info on the versacamm go to Roland DGA Corporation - North and South America
you can find out about the cadcolor solutions material at STAHLS' digital or Stahls' ID direct - The leader in heat transfer presses, CAD-CUT materials, Roll Goods, vinyl cutters and accessories

hope this helps

thanks Lar,
I guess when I go to the Long beach show next month. I will be able to see exactly what kinda of machine I'm looking for..i should take some shirts that I like how its made and find out what exactly printed them..eg. silkscreen. DTG etc..this so hard to figure out. I get the part of the versacamm. being a printer and cutter and all. I gotta check out the cadcolor stuff. I guess its a special material to use along with the versacam. I gotta see some samples of this to compare. thank you

my favorite is solutions material from imprintables warehouse. I have used color print and roland HTM before but don't like using those unless the customer requests it (too heavy of a hand)

thanks , 11yds for 188.00 ,,the 24 in wide does this mean you get 11 yds of the 24in wide?
i figured right at 1.90sq,ft is this right or is it half of that because 24in wide?

11 yds is 33 linear ft x 2 ft wide = 66 square feet. $188 / 66 square ft =$2.85 per square ft.

I would rate it as the best out there. I have done many shirts wit it, the hand is great (on the clear solutions it is almost non existant!) and colors stay very well. I have some shirts that I have washed over 40 times and they still look great.

Biggest seller is banners and printed vinyl for signs, magnets etc. White material is about the same as the clear only it has a slightly heavier hand. Still an amazing product!

guy's is it right that you have to wait for hours after printing onto this material before you can contour cut it ?? I'm just reading the product sheet for Stahl Colour Solution material & it says that you need to wait 3-4 hours after printing before cutting !!! If this really the case ?

I use the Opaque solutions from Imprintables and if you are cutting through a printed area, I let it set for 15 minutes or so before cutting. If you are cutting through non printed areas, you can cut right away. The reason is that the material is very thin and there is very littel adhesive on the carrier paper so the edges will tend to curl up. I think that it would be the same for Stahls stuff. You can set a delay in print and then cut on the machine but I usually just print registration marks and sheet cut and set it aside to cut later. Hope this helps.
