Well, my old roland sc540 has finally went t up. Moved across the country and it was a bit neglected and now has dried inksand heads. 6 headsat 700 apiece and cleaning everything else, I think I'll just get a newer machine. So, what I need from all of you is recommendations. I think I want a 30" instead. Print and cut. No tied to solvent inks so latex or whatever is OK. Give me some ideas. Up to maybe 10 years old. What do you guys use. Give me some ideas.

Roland has some nice deals now on their new resin printers, they’re about 15k with 3 sets of ink. Downfall is its print only machine. If you need the cut then check out the VG3 or grab an older VG2

I have the SG3 and have no complaints, print quality is perfect, colours are vibrant & cutting is accurate. I'm sure other alternatives are just as good but would avoid the older SG/VG & SG2/VG2 machines as I heard there were a number of issues that had now been resolved with the 3rd version.
