Should I drop a grand on a slightly larger 2nd cutter?

Gilligan:
I have the opurtunity to pick up a 2nd cutter.  I have a graphtec 15" cutter now, this is a Roland 24" cutter.

Not significantly bigger, but would be a good back up vs picking up a US Cutter if something happened.

It's almost half price?

What should I do?  We really don't do a LOT of vinyl cutting... we do a lot of cutting for masking for sandblasting and that is where we really need it.  We have an order that came in this morning that all but pays for it, 50 at retail!

I don't know, I know that our cutter gets no use anymore since most of our work has switched to digital.  I can get a full color banner for not a lot more than a blank costs me.  Why would I have an employee stand there and weed vinyl for that.

Nah, we do the same... gotprint unless someone wants to send me a PM and beat their prices... might need to post up and see.

Only thing besides mask that we really do with the cutter is a few window decals... and MAYBE the occasional coroplast sign.

But we do a good bit of cad cut t-shirt vinyl lettering or sometimes we contour cut some heat transfers.

The Roland is a better cutter. If you have the chance to get it at half I would do it and sell the other one.

I can not imagine life without a cutter.....Wall vinyl, custom sports names & numbers, short run tees and still signs and banners despite the fact my clients can get "printed" stuff elsewhere for less money.....
