  Hi Im new to the display industry, but have many years experience in the pro photo lab industry (that was) We are hoping to move into the solvent market next year, exterior, print & cut.

  Hi There,

  2 out of 3 solvent printers sold in the world are Roland they cant all be wrong, you will get the new Roland VP-540 print at cut at only a bit more than your budget,only Roland offer print and cut in one machine.leasing may be a more affordable option.

  Speak to an independant engineer and ask him which machines break down the most ,despite their dominance those i have spoken to visit Rolands the least.

  Regards
