Vinyl cutters are a great option for small quantites and customizing shirts with names and such. They also have a bunch of crazy holographic/glow/fuzzy..etc...etc materials that you can really upcharge with.
The learning curve is fast. The only think you really need is a vector program, like CorelDraw or Illustrator. If you don't have those, that will be the hardest thing to learn, but theres lots of YouTube tutorials on that stuff.
As far as colors, I've seen lots of crazy stuff, but to make any sort of reasonable money, one or two colors is the most I usually do with vinyl.
As far as limitations, they can cut extremly detailed images...the only problem is weeding it. Simple designs weed in seconds, complicated designs take time.
Good luck,
Nick
