Default Equipment Needed?

Hello people,

This is my first post here and im wondering if some of you can assist me into making the right decision about what kind of equipment i should purchase in order to start my business.

Im going to be running my business from home until the end of next year when i will rent a office in my local town.

I understand in order to create vinyl t-shirts i will need a PC, a plotter (cutter) and a heat press, however i have no idea on which ones will be the best to purchase.

I currently sell and create t-shirts using rhinestones so the heat press i purchase could be useful for applying these as well.

I have a budget of £2000 to spend on the equipment in order to get things up and running.

Thanks in advance!

Mike

If you read through some of the posts in this forum, you will see the different vinyl cutters reviewed (uscutter, graphtec, roland, etc)

I have a Roland GX-24 and I like it

You can also use the search feature to find equipment recommendations:
