  3. Continue with Roland print and cut solutions or move to a 2 piece print and cut solution?

    You can use your current printers with a separate cutter or a new roland sg2/vg2 with a separate cutter. I have 2 sg2 that have been trouble free printing everyday (vg2 will be a little faster). Most of the time now I use graphtec to cut but sometimes I'll still cut on the rolands depending on...

    The easiest way to decline a job you don't want to do for whatever reason is to bid a little higher and give a little longer lead time to finish. That we you aren't even declining, the customer is less likely to go with you. I think it is important to stand behind your moral and ethical...
