So far I've only worked with heat transfer papers that I have cut by hand. However I'm thinking about starting to work with vinyl and getting a Roland GX-24. But from what I've seen so far, when you work with vinyl to can only really work with a select few colors on a single design. Is this correct? I have some designs where are only letter which seems like it would work really well with the vinyl but other designs have a lot of color. Would using heat transfer paper with the GX-24 give good results, or is there certain heat transfer papers that have to be used with it?
Josh of imprintables posted a video tutorial on cutting opaque transfers on the using aRoland GX-24. The opaque transfer was printed with multi colors and with a "registration mark" so that you can load it and cut on the cutter.
You can work with more than one color depending on your designs. Some of this foil stuff is awesome.. If you use vinyl like spectra ywhich is thin you can do alot of stacking of colors as well. Lou

With all the different manufacturers of vinyl, there are very few colors you cannot get and then using the foils, metallics or glitters, you have even a wider range.
When you run into issues is doing the fades and blends, you can't do that with vinyl.
But depending on your patience level, you can do about everything else.
