I currently have a Vp-540
I was considering a few upgrade options
as I want to increase capacity
Option A:
Purchase a GX-640 Cutter so i can print on the VP-540 and cut on the GX-640 at the same time
lots of time i need to print and cut large quantities and this would shave hours of the total number of hours needed. Estimated cost $6k
Pros: Additional Cutting Capacity
Cons: no additional print capacity
Option B:
Purchase a 2nd Vp-540 (possibly as used one), my vp-540 has been very reliable and I'm comfortable with it.. adding a 2nd one will enable doubling of my capacity.. print and cut
but it will cost from 14-22k
Option C:
Trade in my VP-540 for a XJ-640 Printer and a GX-640 Cutter, this will increase my print speed and enable cutting separately
Xj-640 is around 30k, 6X-640 is around 6k.. trade in of vp-540 prob around 12k
so it would cost me around 24k
Option D:
Trade in my Vp-540 for a XC-540, this will increase my print speed but keep my cutting capacity the same as my VP
New XC-540 is 31k minus a 12k trade in for the VP - so approximately a 19k investment
What would you do?
