I have been looking and reaserching for weeks... the vinyl cutters/plotters. Is there anyone who does this as a business and would share what kind of machine they are using? And do the SVG files we've all created work with these machines?
Any help is appreciated!!! thanks.
Have you created a business?

Re: Have you created a business?
I have several questions so I can give an good answer. Are you going to use this for business, heavy duty crafting, or light crafting. There are a lot of great machines out right now, And I have my personal preference but I don't discount other brands. I own a Black Cat Cougar, and yes they are higher price wise, but when I purchased mine, I had a Cricut, and looking at the cost of it, plus cartridges, and at the Design Studio, my cougar was only about $50.00. People are shocked to see the price tag which I believe for the Lynx 12" which cuts a full 12 inches, starts around 500 or . But they are supreme machines, very heavy duty and are great work horses. The 24 inch cougar I believe is 1099.00. Like I said though if you have a cricut and carts, and DS. you are about at the cost anyway.
The gazelle I have heard is awesome also. So is the Pazzles. Here is a link to a site that has a comparision chart for a lot of the machines, not all of them are listed. http://thatsscrapinc.com/ComparisonChar ... ackCat.htm. I know Tyler who is on this forum also, has a 24" machine, and has pictures on the make the cut forum showing how he cut a huge piece of vinyl, I think it was about 16 feet long. I hope this helps, and like I said there are a lot of great machines. I would recommend starting with the chart and investigating and seeing what each machine will do for you.
