rhinoman1 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Looking at starting a small bussiness with t-shirt and clip art cutting. Not looking to do large runs at first but do want to grow the bussiness. Looking at a three year plan of growth. Small steps based on money and Market. Just wondering what type of cutter I should start with. It seems a 24" is the best place to start. looking at around 800$ as initial investment. Hoping to get cutter and some T-shirt vinyl to start. Hope You all will be able to help me and Grow along with me. In the USA State of Florida. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingagain75 0 Posted December 1, 2010 I just picked up a LaserPoint 24" Cutter and I think its a great entry level cutter. Unfortunately I heard they are phasing this model out so I am not sure how long there will be support for this particular unit. But none the less there is a section dedicated to it here on this forum. I am new to cutting myself and am excited about all of the new projects that I am now able to undertake. If you are going to be printing yourself, you might want to get something with contour cutting like my LaserPoint. I have heard nothing but good things about Graphtec, and Rollands if you have a couple extra dollars. Remember though that you are going to need money for heat press vinyl and blank shirts. Good Luck... Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhinoman1 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Thank you living. I have read many t-shirt forums and many reviews about the graphtec and rolands. I know they are very good cutters. That is my goal. My Start up cost is right at 800 and that will have to get me some vinyl as well. I already do sublimation and transfer printing so I have t-shirts already. I would prefer to do some smaller runs of some t-shirts to start and proceed from there. I have a few jobs lined up now but need to get the vinyl cutter.
