WOW, let us know how that works out. If it is on the net, it must be true.

The thing that comes to mind is to laminate or not to laminate. There are those that would swear to always laminate. Lamination does add durability especially for outdoor graphics. But most eco-solvent and latex inks have a good deal of built in uv resistance and outdoor durability. It might be say five years verses eight. Personally for stickers, I think lamination is over kill. But if you did laminate, then it might, (and I say might,) be an easier workflow to have separate print cut machines. With lamination and a print cut machine it means printing without cutting, unloading, laminating, reloading and cutting. With separate machines it means print from one machine, laminate, cut on another. This separate process lends itself to more flexibility in scheduling. Either way if your doing lamination, what ever is the cutting machine better have great registration for contour cutting. If you really don't have high volume, then all such printers are BAD to clog if not used frequently. Here having one printer and one cutter might be a great thing if the printer is a latex printer. These clog less when they sit idle for days on end. I don't think you can do transfers with Latex, unless it's changed recently. So eco-solvent would give you the option of transfer for garments, (also printed HTV,) were as Latex would not. The BN20 is going to be slower. But I don't think that is a great consideration as you can run the thing almost continually if needed, (helps reduce clogs running it continually.) If all your doing is stickers without lamination then it might be a fine choice. But a larger machine opens you up to expanded options like banners, posters, vehicle graphics and or wraps. A larger machine can take a wider variety of media. There really is a great deal of interesting media you can run through the larger machines. If you really are swamped, a bigger machine can spit out more per run than a smaller one. Another thing I am not sure about is if you need perf cutting. Without it you will be hand trimming the stickers down to size. I think most of the Roland machines, including the BN20, can perf cut. But don't hold me too it. It probably wears out blades more quickly.

Not close? Really?

You are in luck. That is a variation of a standard graphic located within the SignBlazer Library - DRAW menu/ Library/ Design Elements/ Mason Crosses

My first question would be what is it you're not happy with? That'll determine the level of machine you'll want to look at.

yes he is right, not even close to what he asked for
