If you are in an area where there are a lot of tourist then make somme shirts with the name of the city and take to some local shops and see if you can get them to buy. here are some samples i have in a few places in California.

I am thinking about buying a cutter/plotter, but I want to make sure it will do what I want first.
All I really want it for is to put logo's, numbers and letters on paintball jerseys. So what I am looking for is something that will print color on to my white vinyl, then cut around it and heat transfer it to my jersey. Any ideas on what to buy and what to use?

Hello: I have a Roland GX-24. It does not print, but it does cut out. I found it works well for larger areas, such as numbers and letters. I have been pleased so far with the machine. I do not know about printing on vinyl, other than a printer/cutter, which is pretty expensive. I would be interested to know if the vinyl can be printed on an ink-jet printer. I never heard of that option. However, if you want to cut out plain vinyl or dark-opaque transfers I would recommend this machine. Hope this helps.
