  1. Greetings, my wife and I will be printing personalized 3x4 stickers for children. We will be printing dozens or even hundreds of them every day. Every sticker is the same size but every sticker is different (they are personalized) and each sticker comes to us as a .pdf created in Illustrator. I went to our local Roland dealer and he gave me a demo using one of my .pdf files on a Versacamm. It printed nice and smooth, cut perfectly, came out great, and looked fast. But before I shell out up to $15K I wanted some thoughts from people that have a lot more experience in this stuff than myself. I am thinking this could be overkill if all we are doing is printing 3x4 stickers? This printer is huge and expensive. Though the BN-20 is smaller and an option, I have read in numerous places that it may print too slow for fast throughput applications such as my scenario. So I need to print these small stickers as fast and as easy as possible. Do you think that means I should definitely go with a printer/cutter combo such as Roland? I have read on other sites that it may be smarter to go with separate machines. But then I obviously would need to cut separately. And we are not reinventing the the wheel with these stickers. The designs are literally created by children using photos. With a separate cutter I am thinking I would have a huge sheet of vinyl with, say, 50 of the stickers on it. Now I need to send it through the cutter and they all need to cut perfectly or I have to start everything over. This seems like it would be too much overhead for what we are doing. Any thoughts? I don't want to make a high priced mistake. I want the fastest, most reliable solution to print 100's of 3x4 stickers quickly with high quality. Thank you.
