Go to www.signs101.com. There are a lot of knowledge there. I just got into the whole vinyl thing myself and decided to just start out with a cutter. I got the Roland GX400. I will invest in a nice printer later down the road. Most of the guys that I have talked to that have done this for years prefer to use one machine for printing and another for cutting. You can contour cut your stickers with registration marks. Good luck and shoot me an email if you have any questions. I may not be a pro yet but I have done so much research on this I feel like my head is going to explode!
