I've read through a lot of posts but I would like to know which vinyl cutter I should use to make numbers for jerseys etc. I've been ordering through stahls but I thought I could make my own and save money. Does anybody do this and how much can I expect to save, lets say per number?

To just make numbers I would say any us cutter will do the trick, and you will save tons of money plus you can do a ton of other things with a cutter.

If you are looking to invest just for cutting numbers you will not realize much of a savings on cost. The die cut numbers from Stahls are fairly inexpensive and actaully cost less in most cases than cutting your own.

The real advantage of investing in a vinyl cutter is to custom cut names and other text based designs or name/number combinations. There is a savings in cutting your own over utilizing the player perfect method.

The cost for cad-cut film is approximately 1 cent per square inch.

Other advantages of having your own cutter for this type of work include the ability to offer a wide variety of fonts and cut on demand rather than tie up dollars and space in precut inventory.

Also - having your own cutter will allow you to source your cad-cut film of choice and utilize special effect films such as glitter, reflective, flock etc.
