I have a GCC (puma) cutter. It works fine for me. I would have gone with a better make but had limited funds. I have used thermoflex and hotmark for the t-shirt vinyl. They both work pretty good as far as the cutting and weeding, but I think that the thermoflex looks better on the fabric. I have screen printing equipment too, but I haven't gotten comfortable with the equipment. For me, vinyl transfers give me less problems. I do simple designs so the vinyl has been fine for me. So, what kind of questions do you have? I'm no expert either, I'm still learning myself.
