Need to buy Printer/printer cutter
Hi as i said in my opening post we have been involed in cutting vinyl and printing t shirts with a graphtec 120 and epson for sublimation and hp for standard t shirt printing, not wide format
Now looking to take the next for Digital printing onto vinyl, banners store signs ect any help on recomendations for a good interior and outdoor printer or printer cutter or should i invest in a wide format printer only and continue to cut the printed graphic with the graphtec
budget i have not decided but not 20k, secondhand may also be good
also any information on where to buy would be good we are in france but imagine i will buy from UK
thank you for your help -

Hi
Personally we look at the distance from the seller.A concern must be getting the engineer out and the machine up and running again if an error happens. Thats why we try to buy as local as possible now.
Whats a few pounds saved if the down time is weeks.

Wayne you can buy new printers from 5k to 10k so if your budget falls within these figures then a fair few used printers will be well with your scope too.
If you are considering doing larger jobs such as vehicle wraps then at least a 54" printer will be what you need to look at, for indoor and outdoor work then a solvent or the newer eco solvent printers will be the choice for you.

Thank you very much for your replies not looking to save a few pence and do speak french but when things get technical the mother tongue just make explaining so much easier what actual printers or print cutters would you suggest
Thanks for your help

Take your pick, Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki etc for solvent / eco solvent print & cut models or just straight forward printers, then you have the HP latex printers, will all come down to budget, floor space and support.
