This is my very first post. I have not even visited the introduction thread. I am a screenprinter and want to get into vinyl graphics. I have never done this before and plan on buying sign equipment by the end of the year. I am looking at the Roland GX-300 from signwarehouse.com. I would also like to purchase the supplies starter kit (is this a good idea?) also. I would like to know what are the best books,videos or coarses to learn cutting techniques and application techniques? I would like to do window signs, car graphics, and boat graphics. Is there a different type of material used to create boat signs? Thanks for any advise that is given.
