What would you all recommend for a entry level printer for stickers.
im_mcguire:
I seem to have a market for vinyl sticker printing. Im looking into printers for stickers with die cutting, but Im really not sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

There aren't really any print & cut units that can do die-cutting by the nature of the unit. After they print, they pull back and start cutting, so if you cut all the way through the material your decal will fall out and cause the media to jam. For this reason most of our customers who want "true" die cut stickers use flatbeds. The Mimaki CJV150 does have a half-cut function which essentially acts like a perforated cut. When we demo the machine, I like to kiss cut around the design and then do a square around the whole decal with the half cut. This makes it easier to peel the actual decal as well as put extra info you might need in the box.

I haven't demo'd it more than getting a bid, but look at the Roland's as well

or entry level - https://www.rolanddga.com/products/printers/versastudio-bn-20-t-shirt-printing-press
But spend the extra to get a bigger one now, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself later.

Ultimately Im getting a lot of people (10-15 per week) who want to order 500-1000 stickers for their business. I dont offer it, as I see Sticker Mule and Sticker app doing killer work, and usher them there.
Id really like to offer it, and ive been looking into the BN-20, but Im sure id grow out of that quick.

With that volume it might be worth considering the JV150 or JV300 & a flatbed cutter, if you have the space.
