I was thinking about purchasing a vinyl cutter/plotter so I can start making my own decals and such. Does anyone know anything about these? The best site I've found thus far is www.uscutter.com ...

I wouldn't want to spend much money, since it wouldn't be a full-time thing.

Anyways, if anyone has any thought on the matter, that'd be great.

Go to JSISign.com - they are a great place, good service, and prices that are good. I used a Summa cutter (ancient one) up until last year, and it still ran OK and cut well. I would def recommend the brand, and JSI as a source.

If I were you, I'd get a used Roland. They last forever and the blades are easy to change out, and really cheap. Also, the settings and everything are extremely basic and make sense.

I've used a Roland 24" PNC 1000 CAMM-1 and I loved it.

We also had a Gerber 15" cutter/plotter that worked well too, but was a little more expensive.

And a Mutoh 48" cutter that was EXPENSIVE as hell. haha.

You may even be able to get a printer/cutter combo for cheap. Then I'd look up an older Gerber Edge.
