Can you explain why DCMONEY? Hope you don't mind me asking.. just trying to Pro and Con this thing.....

Here are some ideas of some items we are looking into doing.. Just basic monograms.. Mostly one color, but some things will have some multiple color layers, but nothing too fancy.. We are really liking the thoughts of the Graphtec, but are wondering with what we are starting with.. would the 34" SC series be a good starter for us, just to get things up and running.... Also, wouldn't be long for a ROI, then step up to the Graphtec later. We won't be doing anything that we would have need of a printer... I guess we could, but not really the direction that we are looking into going.. (at least I don't think so)... I'll attach some pics of what we're wanting to do, and any imput will be appreciated.. Also, we have no idea on Heat Presses.. what kind of investment are we looking at here? I guess we were hoping for something more in the under $500 range.. is this possible, with what we're looking into? Thanks again!

Thanks bamafan227. What heat press do you suggest? To start-up, what other items am I required to purchase? The cutter machine, heatpress, vinyl? what else is required? Very new at this, and want to make sure that I'm figuring all costs when deciding on machine.. Also, what program do you use, and is it uploadable to multiple computers?

We have been in the embroidery business for the past several years.. mostly do monogramming on apparel and accessories.. We are looking into getting into vinyl, and need help determining what is needed to start up.. For now, we will only be applying to shirts, bags, cozies, etc.. We know nothing about the vinyl process, so any help will be much appreciated.. We did learn with our embroidery machine not to go with the cheaper machine.. we found we were very limited, and not even 3 months into it ended up selling, and buying 2 much larger machines... So we definitely don't want to make the same mistake.. we don't want to limit ourselves, but also don't want to put several $1,000's into it right off the bat.. We appreciate any imput, and offer thanks in advance.
