24" latex printer for printing adhesive vinyl plus a cold laminator

[Boyblue]

Any recommendations on a 24" latex printer that I can print to vinyl directly from Adobe Photoshop. Cutting is optional. I'm also looking for a cold laminator for the same setup.

24"? No such thing. Why so small? If the answer is budget look at the hp 310

Just get a 110 which is being blown out for under $7,000 and is 54"

Laminators: if there isn't a lot of volume you can get a OrangeA Laminator off of Amazon or Ebay for around $240.

There are no Print/Cut Latex Printers on the market currently, HPs print cut is a a 330 and Summa D series cutter.

Let me first let you know i'm on an island where almost everything is imported. This is just one of a few options being considered. Due to fortunate On the other hand it's a circuit breaker. By limiting the size, I limit our scope of work. If we have a 54" machine sitting, it's likely more will be asked of us.

I'm sitting here looking at quotes that run high five figures and I hear about this technology that's taken the mystery out of vinyl printing and I feel I have to go for it. There are certain aspects that I will outsource but I figure we can handle small promotional signs which is a significant part of those estimates.

I will present a case for a few different options, (all of which has a local shop doing the large stuff). The options are:
1) The top dog does it all - Awesome service & product
2) Two local up & comers get the nod (one has the low bid and the other more polished product and reliable).
3) Importing completed small signs printed directly to coroplast or 3mm pvc
4) Importing Printed vinyl and applying to locally sourced substrate
5) Print in-house on imported vinyl & apply to imported pre-cut substrate

More than likely #3 will be chosen but I'm hoping for #5. That being said, what is the least imposing setup that you would recommend? I've spoken to an Epson dealer in South Florida (nearest state) and he is high on the Sureprint 40600 and he's also looking for a 30" option.

Depends on how many employees you have and the space. But option 5 would be the best. Get a printer atleast 54" with a laminator and start making more money!

Well, quotes aren't money in the bank. Invoices are. So, if your receivables are as good as your quotes, then I'd say, expand and set yourself up right..... right off the bat.

So I have my HP 110. Do I need software, is Photoshop adequate? I'm looking at the GFP 230C cold laminator
