Re: vinyl cutter There are print cut vinyl cutters expect to pay around$10,000.00 for one, the basic idea is to cut images and heat press them to fabric the vinyl has a glue on it that is heat activated which in turn attaches to the fabric. You know come to think of it on the sublimation I think now there is print cut with sublimation but you would be looking well over 10 k for a unit.

Re: vinyl cutter For sublimation you don't need a vinyl cutter. Only the ink is transfered to your polyester garment and there's no "window" like with untrimmed inkjet or laser transfers.

Re: vinyl cutter Marcus....I note the following on your website:We are still working on the software, Does that mean the contour cutting is not yet operational?? There seems to be a lot of confusion about that
