Can anyone give me some feedback on this machine. I am considering the purchase of one and wondered if they are all they are cracked up to be. I have a US Cutter and it does Ok but I am wondering if the Roland will help me in the long run?

I have one and cannot say enough good thins about it. It has helped expand my business beyond garments and now I can offer my clients even more like stickers, banners, signs and magnets. Go to Welcome to PrintCutPress.com to learn more about the garment end and feel pree to pm me with anyquestions you have. Hope this helps!
I have had mine for almost 2 years now.. the only maintance i had to have to it is changing the blade once.. and a well baby check up (lol) last month that was about 300.00.
I have the sp54.. which is the 54 inch wide one..
The only complaint I have ever heard about the sp300 is that the people that bought one wish they had got the bigger one..
Sue is right on!! That is our only complaint. We just got done with a large trade show graphic job that really got me educated on what this machine can do. The job came out great and the images are up, as I type this, at the Los Angeles Times Travel Show being held this weekend at the Long Beach Convention Center!! Who would have thought that through one of my t-shirt contacts, I would be doing high quality, trade show banners??!!
Eric.. Its amazing how things like this come about.. .. We also deal with a company that makes custom frames.. and we do work for them.. and they do work for us.. We have been doing large photos on the semi gloss paper and they have been mounting them.. Unbelievabe how these things look.. With one of these machines the sky is the limit

I read on another forum that you got to have the fastest Hardrive that you can afford (RAID or something?), in addition of course to the large RAM. Doing large, "actual size" editing on raster/vector softwares; the RAM alone can't take care of the large file size and so there's a lot of swapping going on with the hardrive.
No problem!! Hit me up, because those who know me, know I can TALK!!
Big Plus on the fast/powerful computer. Because the end products were 30" x 78", the files were huge! We are planning on upgrading one of our computers soon.

When we first got our our versacamm we had all new computers in the shop.. The one i use for t-shirts and the bookwork.. we actually put versaworks on that puter too.. and I distroyed a brand new hard drive.. lol.. because the puter was not powerful enuff.. I mean the computer was like 2 weeks old.. thankfully it was still covered and they came and put in a new drive for free.. and no We now only use the powerhouse computer to work the versacamm.
