I've been working in the graphics industry for over 20 years now (both as a designer and pre press technician). In June the company I worked for went into receivership.

I've decided it's now or never so I've been planning the opening of my new business for weeks - and I must say I'm exhausted:) I'm hoping frequent visits here will calm some of my worries and answer ALOT of my questions.

My start up goal is to produce vinyl letters, small signs, decals, digital prints and wall graphics.

I've pretty much settled on a Roland SP-300 for my start up printer cutter
I've found a refurbished one here in Ontario for 9,500.00 - 6 month warranty - training provided. Any thoughts on this? Is this enough to get me started?
(plus a computer, scanner, tables, knives etc).

Any suggestions, advise will be greatly appreciated.

Bye for now

Welcome from BC! I grew up in the Windsor area. What part are you in?
Here's my advise for equipment - Buy the biggest, baddest machine you can afford. You'd be surprised how quickly you can out grow equipment. Keep in mind that you will probably want other equipment to compliment your printer such as a laminator.
Best of luck!
