Depends on size Mike......

Can get 2nd hand ones from Ł1000 onwards or you can get a nice new 610mm wide Graphtec for Ł1500+VAT from Graphtec themselfs.

Hmm.

Tim, had a look on their site, doesnt list cutters..

Paul,

Just really want something to do my own graphics on for my own company - ie on my own cars and customers cars, so dont know if Ł1k+ is worthwhile lol.

what about something like this?

When pricing up Mike remember you initially need xx metres of each colour ideally!! You'd be amazed how much it comes to!!!! (make sure you got a big credit card!!!)

And make sure you always charge for the waste, you'd be amazed how many little jobs you can get out of the scap bits of vinyl.

with the time it takes and money you'll be investing your far better off asking Paul or myself to do them for you. I'd imagine the both of us would sort you a nice discount out on bulk stuff....

Remember on top of the cutter you need to cater for cutting blades etc...!
