[Shawn (EIP)]

I'm looking for a cheap cutter , something to get my foot in the door for names and numbers and do forth...

Anyone have one collecting dust?

budget?

Some folks claim good luck with some of the cheaper Chinese junk versions.
Some of the older stuff may give you problems with support, software, and parts (blades and cutter strips may be needed fairly often.)

Pierre was looking into one. Pick his brain. For those who only dabble, they might be fine.

A buddies shop picked up a Seiki , works just fine for 99% of his work.

Homer, you have something?

I have an expert 24, it has been about a year now and no issues. I print right from corel. I would buy another one in a second. Their tech support has been good and the thing just runs. I did look at a roland and they do seem to run faster and track better on long lengths but they are 3 times as expensive. I paid $410.00 with shipping on ebay.

I have a GCC Bengal that I think retails around $900....  Last fall Imprintables Warehouse was giving them away free if you signed a deal to do $1000 in business with them over the next 12 months.  I did that in the first 3 months easily.  It has paid for itself over and over and over.  I will be using it tomorrow for name drops and numbers on 127 hoodies.

Holy crap!

It's about time I get on the ball and get one of these cutters... wtf am I waiting for?

Last week I took mine to an event and sold about $500.00 worth of names and number along with window decals. It will pay itself off in no time

My budget is around 300 bucks USED with software and maybe some rolls of vinyl. Found a few deals on c-list but figured I'd check here first as I trust you guys more than c-list people... that's a given.

multicraft has cutter with software and few rolls for $499. That's brand new with warranty. not sure how good or bad it is, but hey, how bad can it be?

I am kind of biased because I have an really like the GCC Expert 24.....As I said earlier, it will run you 450.00.....Do you have a heat press?.....If so buy a a few yards of white and black Spectra Eco Film and it will get you started....

We bought a cheapie one and it sucked. We got the $900 copam one from US Cutter and it's been good. Paid for itself pretty quick.

Do you guys go to location to put up store front graphics or do you let the customer handle that?
