I've been watching some videos on YouTube about craft robo. People are printing images then using the cutter to cut the images out. How does this work?

What printer do you need to do that, is it only laser?

What media do you print onto then cut out?

What are the end results like?

Does it wash well, does it crack or fade etc.?

so basically the best way to print onto dark T's is by doing it in vinyl with a robo cutter thing for around £200
and is the quality good and does it last in the wash etc
i've just had someone ask me to sort them some dark T's out for work
so there would be yellow text and then the coloured logo

i have looked on BMS webby and that craft robocutter looks small and compact
but is that just a cutter???? and does it work with a mac :~

i'm not sure how this vinyl stuff works sorry

That's what I'm trying to work out. I've seen some good vids on YouTube and it seems a good little machine. I don't understand the way the printing side of it works and what the life span is of a finished product is.

there is. flex, flock, printable vinyl as subli flock and flex and if you want to do photo quality the DTG is the way to go.

so there is loads to chose from. All of them cost a bit. DTG is

but this is good i think. coz if every one would afford it then there would not be any room for another business
