Help with Magnet Printer/Plotter

[Magnetletters]

Hello and my question is what is the best plotter to print directly on 30 or 20 mil magnets. I'm a die cutter and cut magnets but have other ideas. I've been looking for a plotter (used) I saw this post in CL and was looking for some guidance and opinions.

I appreciate the reply's. I'm seeing more and more business moving from flat bed screen shops into or adding the plotters for businesses. We also do alot of vinyl die cutting and could use a plotter but any plotter we get need to be able to print directly on magnets.

I went to the newbie section pertaining to post and answers and didn't see much traffic in the section. If "best magnet plotter" has been posted somewhere else I apologize in advance. I looked and didn't see it anywhere. Again, thanks

I believe you mean printer instead of plotter...most mags aren't direct printed unless on flatbed...too much risk of head strike - print onto vinyl and slap it on...

The Gerber setup would be great for printing & cutting shapes

I have many customers who have used the Gerber Edge for this, along with a Gerber plotter you can do custom contoured cuts as well. There are tons of other uses as well. I have a few for sale on my website www.theequipmentguy.com

The used Colorspans can be a bear to get parts for and are expensive to produce on, good color though. The Edge is a little expensive as far as larger runs, but for the shorter runs it's ideal.
