Default Vinyl and Plotter advice

I have been trying various techniques. I bought myself a screen printer but its a pain to clean and very difficult to design complicated images. It's great for one or two colours - but very time consuming.

I tried trnasfer paper - have had loads of problems i..e cracking and images comin goff tee. I think I have found a good supplier I just need to do more testing.

I bught some stencil spray but again this is very expensive and have not done enough testing to see if it stays on tee long enough.

I got introuced to I think using Hotmark 70 I think? Its a floppy type plastic that just irons on and is really smooth once its on the tee. I use a hotpress.

Is that the only stuff i can use or are their other brands?

I want to sell my screen printing gear and get myself a plotter. I have seen in the forum that GRAPHTEC CRAFT ROBO PRO CE5000- 40 is a good one, but its very expensive. Can you recommend some that will be half that price.

I am in the UK but if you have links that's fine just to give me an idea.
