I'm pretty much it the same boat as you, 100 miles from the nearest city and 22 years doing cut vinyl only. Not disrespect to the guys giving advice regarding the economics of purchasing the equipment, but being in the city or being in our situation makes a big difference. There comes a point...

Nope. The sale is over now and the HP115 has gone from 13k up to 16k. Out of my price range.

Thanks for the info, that's more of the kind of firsthand info I was looking for. The HP115 cutter has no option to add rollers at all. Upgrading to a Graphtec is an extra $3000+, and then there's extra software that's over $1000. All a bit much for my mom and pop operation. Workflow isn't an...

I'm in NS. I buy regularly from Grimco, the local crowd is good. But call Dartmouth branch and someone in Missouri answers the phone, hang up and try again and it a branch in Illinois. Not a chance I'm buying my first print/cut system from a company like that. I also buy regularly from ND...

I'm now rethinking that maybe I should go with the HP115, but I'm not buying from Grimco. Who else sells these print-cut packages in Canada?

Depends what you're going to be cutting. It's 54 inches wide and only 3 rollers, and no option to add any. Seems like a stripped down version of the Summa, and I chose not to purchase one for this reason. I cannot imagine it is able to handle heavy materials very well.

Yeah that's my concern, but a feed table isn't a big problem for me to fabricate. I know just from running heavy reflective on a small Roland plotter that this can be a big problem, we've always had to follow the blade with our fingers to prevent the blade from scratching the vinyl. There's...

A dedicated machine for 20 sled wraps a year isn't something I'd consider at all. I'm willing to invest 15,000 Canadian dollars for print/cut/laminate setup. Just looking to find out if these machines can cut the vinyl and 10mil laminate, or if one does it better than the other. Thanks

Probably not quite as stiff as that, as they do need to conform to a certain degree. Thanks.

Hello everyone I'm totally green to the printing side of the sign business. I've been running a small cut-vinyl sign business since 1995. We're in a small isolated community with limited room for expansion, so I've resisted my thoughts of buying a printer and have stuck with cut vinyl, but I...
