My photography stickers are still my best seller, they are printed on a matte vinyl, they're about 2X6 inches and die cut into shapes. These are not personalized so they would be easy to outsource if needed though.

I received a call today from a salesman for a local Montreal company that sells several brands of printers. He told me that the Summa DC5 was not for me as it was more suited to spot colors and not CMYK. This seems strange as I saw videos of it printing out photographic posters? Anyways...

I'll send Gerber a message to see if I can get some print samples of 4 color process stickers. I think the Edge FX is out of my price range for now though, unless I get it financed.

Yes, the label printer I have is great for the 4 inch circle labels that I do on it, and wine bottle labels. But those are the only things that I do on it. If I want different shapes, I need to cut them out myself, so I need a solution that will allow me to cut stickers to shape and...

They were saying it was banding? Probably just bad settings. I am waiting to get some print samples from them, I am not ruling them out! One thing that I see with the edge printers is that you can only print one color at a time, is that right? How does that work for something with 10-12...

Thank you! I will keep looking into the Edge as well, it does sound like it would do what I need, although more limited if I decide to expand my product line to something like wall graphics. Nursery wall graphics would go well with my current lineup so it was something that I had on my list...

I have a 10 foot wall with about 6 feet of space in front of it, ideally all the equipment would fit into that area. The more compact the better because it would make my room a bit more crowded, but as I'm the only one who uses it I can manage. I do have a large corner desk that I use as...

Thank you! That is really helpful, i'll go take a look at some screenshots of the different software choices. If you want the graphic to be kiss cut and then die cut, is that something that all the cutters can do, or only some? For example I cut out my 4 inch circle stickers...

Do any of them have a software that integrates with Illustrator or that is easier to use for an Illustrator user?

I fully admit that I don't fully know what I'm getting into on the printer side of things, which is why I went online and sought out places where I could find some information to start with. Then I would seek local distributors of those brands and seek demos. So far I've also contacted...

I do have a business license though, and a tax ID, and a licensed business name etc. I don't know why you assume I don't. I did not come here asking for someone to give me a step by step guide on setting up a business. I already have a business, and a website, and branding, and...

Gino what is your issue! Where did I ever say that I want to cut corners. Where did you ever offer me constructive advice? I asked what I need to do in order to do this thing, and your very helpful reply was that I can't do it and it's illegal and if I do it I should get shut down...

They go wherever people need to label their things. Books, school supplies, lunch boxes, sports equipment. I labeled every marker, pencil case, book and art supply for my daughter's school items, I also label her lunch containers and lids, toys when she brings them to school for show and...

And again, those labels that I posted up there, they all go in the dishwasher. They are all used for the uses that I described. They are in parenting magazines, sold in schools. Your opinion is that they're all idiots and doing something illegal. Mabels Labels even sells in Walmart.

Logos are a non issue, I am a graphic designer, I make all my own vectors in Illustrator. I print out my own products to sell, as well as sell stock graphics. I am not looking at starting a printing business as much as just wanting to be able to print out my own items for resale. Right...

No nothing that goes in their mouth, labels for lunchboxes and containers, or baby bottles (on the outsides!) for daycare.

Really? These label companies have been around for ages. Schools sell them to help with financing. They're in parenting magazines. http://www.mabelslabels.com http://www.oliverslabels.com http://www.stuckonyou.com.au/ http://www.olivekids.com/ http://www.lovablelabels.ca And many more...

Hmmm fair enough. What ink / materials do you think they use on food labels then? Surely there is something out there that is safe.

I was looking at the Summa but it seems that people have a lot of issues with them. The Gerber Edge looks like it would work, and my labels may survive the dishwasher without being laminated. Cost wise, the Mutoh Valuejet/ valuecut in 24" are attractive too, are they considered very...

Sorry I didn't mean useless like that, I just meant that any convenience of having a hands off workflow and being able to just let the machine run at night would be lost by having to laminate it before putting it back to cut. The idea of having the machine automatically print and cut without...
