Advice on where to start pretty please :-)

[joeyr69]

Hi All,
I am just after a bit of advice from you lovely people

I have been doing dye sub for a while now and doing very well although enquiries for dark items are becoming daily now and I hate to turn the business away so I have decided into expanding into vinyl printing. My designs are usually multi colour so what I am asking is... Where to start and what to buy?

I looked down the DTG Route although I don't really want to shell out that much, I also bought the bms dark transfer dye sub paper and didn't get on with it so that is not a long term option.

All my work is design in photoshop so I will need machines that are compatible with that.

I was considering a Cameo but would like to know how easy is it for beginner to layer multi colour vinyl designs?
Is this capable of wall art also?
Can I buy special printable vinyl for the odd complex design / logo, then cut it with the cameo?

Thanks in advance

JR

Oki white transfers. Full color for good price.

your design skills will probably always exceed your creation skills, multi layer vinyl is not ideal....... very time consuming

BN-20 PRINT AND CUT
or oki laser printers and laser paper are a cheaper option.

If I had that money I would probably go down the dtg route

No other advice on where to get started? The money is starting to burn a hole in my pocket!

joey have you had a good read through the cutter section ? its also an idea to say what your overall budget is, then perhaps a trip to xpress or target or the magic touch all will walk you through vinyl cutters and what you get for your money. personally now i would not buy without trying, unless i was buying one of the cheaper chinese (no matter who's name is on them) cutters, then just say i can spend xxx so i am having this one, grafytip will also be worth a look
