Default Wide vinyl, where to get and other vinyl questions

Hi,

I am going to purchase a cutter finally (tonight).

I have a few questions first. I was going to get the USCutter LaserPoint and was going to get a 48 inch one. The reason I was going to get the larger one was that I wanted to do wall graphics as well as doing tshirts.

The thing is I was trying to research cost of materials and don't see much vinyl that wide. Is it a waste to get the 48 and should get the 24 instead? Or do you have any recommendations on where to purchase wider vinyl?

Last thing was what vinyl do you recommend for the following:

Car Windows
Wall graphics (is it the same vinyl as for windows)
T shirts (I would like vinyl as well as flock)

Anything else you think I should know, please add it.

Thanks in advance!

Check out signwarehouse.com they are having a tremendous special on the 48" mutoh printer (still have to get the cutter. But MAN I wish I had the $$ at the moment to get that.

I think you are on the right track to get something that can widen your market appeal!

Good Luck!

For wall graphics, I take it you aren't going to print them, go with oracal 631 it has a matte finish, not glossy. Car window decals use Oracal 651 it should work great for you. For t-shirt vinyl I use multicut from Transfer Papers and Sublimation Inks at Joto
