Hi, Everyone.

I own a Video Game store that refurbs arcade machines. I order new artwork for almost all of my machines, my order get expensive fast... almost a $1,000 $2,000 at a time. I am now considering buying a printer... although I have no Idea what kind of printer, what vinyl to use, if I need to coat the vinyl, what type of vinyl will stuck to painted wood.

I saw this and it I think this would work but does anyone have any other recommendations. From what I can See from other therads that Avery material is not liked that much.

I would recommend 30" Summa thermal printer for your needs, but having a printer is only a SMALL part in having your vinyl art made.

it will print on almost any vinyl with excellent quality\durability, great abrasion resistancy too. No need to coat or laminate, will also countur cut

Those kits look like they are very reasonably priced !

I have a HP 5500 Printer. I got a great deal on one from a local company. Refurbished and with a 5 year warranty. Now I just need a little help with type of vinyl. A my instruction book says it is compatiable with "HP Colorfast Adhesive Vinyl". Now I can order this vinyl, but i was wondering if anyone else had any other recomendations, for permanent adhesive vinyl.

I also could use some recomendations for a kind of laminate, I dont really need it for my side art but, the control panels need something. The Control panels I bought always have a textured feel to them, and that is what I want. Now, my current plan is to order something I think Will work try I and hope, unless someone can help.

Sorry for asking so many questions.
