I use a plotter cutter not printer for vinyl graphics (car graphics, windshields, boat graphics, magnetic signs, coroplast signs, etc.) and have since recently bought screen printing equipment.
Can this plotter be useful in the screen printing biz?

Thank you in advance for any info.

Vinyl and screen printing can be good complements if you have both resources available.

Example: You have a screen printing order where they want either names or numbers personalized on the back. Easiest and most cost effective, use your plotter and apply the vinyl instead of spending money on the screen printing.

you can use sign vinyl to cut screen stencils.
i apply them on the t shirt side, they are ok for about 30 pieces, before the vinyl begins to lift.

Excellent idea for short runs. I never thought of that!

I love my cutter. I cut names and numbers with ease. I also offer no min order because 90% of people wanting 1-2 shirts they only want words which can be cut. I am now trying to learn the technique of signs and banners.
