I just purchased a 42" cutter to replace my 24" off-brand piece of you-know-what. My purpose was to buy the 30" but the rep talked me into the 42" because it was the same price due to some sale that was going on. I thought this might be a good move to make seeing that we eventually are going to get a large format printer. After some research it seems that most of the cutters used with large format printers are over 48". We are getting rid of the 24" and so my question is was this a bad move having a mid-size cutter we all we really do is t-shirt stuff and small signage?
