    Well I finally figured it out. I believe I actually had two issues. The spotting / trash I believe was actually moisture. I normally leave my paper in the printer tray and I have never had this problem before. I used some paper from the pack and I also placed some packing paper in the sandwich to absorb some of the moisture. Came out almost perfect except a little ghosting. I've never noticed the ghosting before but I believe it has always been there. I've never done a straight black on white print so it was not evident. Took me a bit of thinking to figure out what was causing it. My press is one of the "auto release" types. When it releases it does with a 'thud'. By holding the handle firm when it released, the ghosting disappeared also. So my margin is slim on this run but I learned a couple of valuable lessons. Thanks for all your suggestions and help!

    I have always had 30-36" vinyl cutters and have never needed larger and would not want it smaller. I use 24" and 30" wide vinyl in many different colors. With me, it is not about would I need a cutter that large, I create designs that large for 28" wide and my buyers like that. The sizes also create higher prices, and bigger revenue. It is not any harder for me to cut the large graphics on a 30" cutter than is it would be on a 24" w cutter. You can get the plastic/resin tables, and they are 30" wide by 8 ft long, pretty reasonable. They have folding legs with a straight table top. I work by myself, and never have problems handling the large graphics or taping the large graphics. I can cut a 28" wide by 16 ft long, but I have a Graphtec. I started out with a value cutter though for 14 months and that cutter stepped me up to the Graphtec.
