Hello
Maybe it is obvious but I dont know. Is there a plotter that can print colors and then cut the shape. Im looking forward to buy a plotter. Regular vinyl plotters are cool, but it would be cooler to have a plotter capable of printing colors and cutting the design. Is there such a thing? How expensive is it compared to a reg. vinyl cutter?
Thanx.
I have a Roland PC-12 which is a printer/cutter. I love it but don't do much work with it.
The PC-12 is not manufactured anymore as Roland has gotten into making the bigger printer cutters.
The PC-12 ran me $3995 new w/o supplies. The bigger model printer /cutters are usually in the 5 figure price range.
The graphic output on the PC-12 is beautiful. Although limited in the width of the vinyl it can work on (up to 13"), what little I've done with it has produced excellent products. I have not printed and cut on heat transfer vinyl.
A used PC-12 can be found once in a while on Ebay or through the varous sign groups and heat transfer groups.
Hope this helps.

I have a PC-12. Bought it approx 3 years ago. Last month I decided I wanted to run a test and print heat transfers using it. I have searched all over only to find that Roland has discontinued the WTFR thermal transfer media. Does anyone know of another brand media I can use?
We have the versacamm 540 which is the 54 inch wide model.. to Make shirts with it there are a few differant brands of vinyl.. the one ive heard the most good things about is colorprint. I have some but have not had the time to try it yet.. (the roll has been in the box for 5 months now) lol.
I do know that my roland pays for itself many times over. we use it to make banners, signs and stickers..
Its really an amazing printer
Just talked with Kim at Advanced Color Solutions (Large Format Printing, Dye Sublimation, Inkjet, Solvent, Engraving & Cutters) and there is suppose to be a new, faster, better... VersaCamm printer/cutter model coming out at the ISA Show in Las Vegas in 3 weeks. I will see if I can get some more information on this one. The two current models are pretty nice, so it will be interesting to see what is so better about the new one.
I just got the Roland Versacamm sp300 and will have my training and setup on it tomorrow with mike from imprintables. I am planning on giving a full rundown as I also recieved the opaque solution heat transfer vinyl that looks amazing at the show but we will see how it relly performs once I get it running.
