Default Suggestions for My 1st Plotter

Hey whats up everyone,

Hope all is well, its been a while since I have posted but I wanted to get the advice from you all before spending any of my $$$.

I am looking to buy my first plotter and would like to know what you guys would suggest I get, and any preferred vendors/resellers.

I am looking to do neither all of my projects in small format sizes to begin and get a feel of what I'm doing before I go out and buy a jumbo machine that I may not need.

I'm looking for something I can do formats that can fit on a shirt and even some small decals for cars. Not sure if any materials are made for the smaller formats as I seem to only see a lot for 15" or 20" formats.

I would like to use the metallics, reflective, neon, and standard vinyls/flocks. So I woulsd like to hear eveyone suggestions.

I use Adobe Illustrator for most of my designs but could buy Corel if that is more preferred as well.

Let me know if I have forgotten to mention any thing.

Thanks,

~Tim

I second that.

I went with US cutter, and its been okay, but I wish I would have bought the roland.

AND I bought the 48" machine and havent cut anything larger than 30"
