  • Vinyl cutter for writing on T-Shirts…

    Posted by rachel king on April 3, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    Have I come to the right place??The internet is so vast you (or I), could get lost in it.I need info on a user friendly vinyl cutter.I already do heat printing transfers on T-Shirts, but I’d like to develop my work and do personalised writing on them.Problem is..which cutter??Don’t need one over the top, but don’t want a toy one either.And what is more important , I must be able to use the software and the cutter without too much hassel.I’m a lady, you see, not a young grafic student or the likes.I have half an idea as to what I need, I just need someone to help me decide.If this forum does not do T-Shirts, them could someone please tell me where to go.Thank you so much. 😕

    The Roland GX-24 is a fantastic little cutter & a good forum dedicated to garment printing is http://www.t-shirtforums.com/united-kingdom/

    many people on the boards do t shirts,
    lots of plotters to choose from,
    Roland Graftech Mutoh Summa etc are all good but I would go half way twixt cheap Chinese and top dollar machines.

    Have a look at grafityps signpal range. good machines at a reasonable price

    I have one of the 1st generation Secabo C60’s. Bought it about 5 yrs ago now and hasn’t missed a beat. It came with ArtCut software which is easy to use and does everything I need from it. I can import eps files from stuff I’ve done in Corel too. I use it pretty much every day along side my Cadet/SP300.

    The software they give with it now is called Flexi-Start. All I want to do is write fonts and numbers, cut out and iron on. I have a couple (2), of secabo heat presses and I am happy with them and the company who sold them to me were nice, although no assistance as they are in Germany and I’m in Italy.Within a couple of weeks I have GOT to but a cutter and learn how to use it. That’s my problem.Going to have a look on the net at the GX-24 now.
