    roland or mimaki, colour painter or mutoh plus others,

    your choice and only yours, read the specs decide on your work flow, and main print requirement, go and see demos and get them to print your own files, then get a quote to supply, consider the service you will get, and buy the one that hits the mark for you.

    sorry to be non specific, but buying a printer is what you consider the best for you, people will equally recommend most of the most popular brands,

    Roland Versacamm or Sol-jet has to be the worlds most popular and reliable printer and cut machines ever.
    Mimaki are a very reputable throughout the world but there print and cut machine has only come on the market.

    colour painter dumps as much ink as it uses. 😕

    seiko and motouh dont have onboard cut fascilities peter.

    however, ive heard allot of good reports on the new mutoh machines…

    Versacamm Looks good to me needs an on board cut facility really i have a rockhopper at the moment with a Gerber OPOS cutter and the registration doesnt seem to be good you can never get it bang on, I have been using my friends Soljet Pro 3 and it is unbelievable but a bit on the expensive side Grafityp seem to have some good deals on at the moment!
