Hi, I have a sports shop and do a bit of heat pressing of sports logo's onto playing jerseys. I am looking into purchasing my own cutter printer so I can create the transfers myself instead of outsourcing them. I would love any advice on a reliable machine at a reasonable price... anything to look for or avoid ? Any help is really appreciated

Thank you

I don't own any cutter yet, I'm also looking for cutter for tshirt designs.
Info I've now and still looking for more information.
You may look up cricut explore 2 or zing orbit

Versacamm is one way to go, Plastisols transfers are another.

Binki is dead on.
I use a Roland BN-20 and love it.

Sign Warehouse always has good start-up packages.
We have bought three plotter cutters over the last ten years from them.
We just keep upgrading.

You cant go wrong with Roland, versacamms are great printer/cutters.

Roland BN-20's are Deeaaaddd Sloooooow! I much prefer the separate printer/cutter arrangement.

Idk why I really never thought of print n cut. Anytime a comparison between technologies comes up its usually the one left out. Even inkjet transfer paper gets in the convo sometimes with jpss which I think is odd. Why does it seem to be the step-child??

by the time you get into versacamm cost you can buy a dtg

so unless you are running a sign/banner shop as well as t-shirts in does not make sense

and if you are running a sign shop then you are probably on a sign forum,
where there will be much talk of eco-solvent printers

Every DTG ive known is finicky and the machines cost upward of $20k , most have a difficult time running white ink which is one of the most requested screen color print colors.
If your doing multi color jobs consider buying plastsol transfers or outsourcing screen printing.
