Howdy everyone! 
As my name suggests, i am fairly new here
and, obviously 
, i have a brilliant idea.
Introduction:
I've spent last 15 years of my life working in a corporate environment and i think it's time to move on. OTOH, i am fairly familiar with terms such as gamut, CMYK, RGB, vector, raster etc... but also with numbers, Excel sheets and charts.
So... the plan is, in theory, pretty simple: make decals for phones / laptops / gaming consoles and sell them on-line. Add also the possibility to make custom decals (there are a variety of on-line apps for that also). Offer also a variety of predefined designs to choose from.
The questions that come to my mind are many and i would be very grateful if you could help me just a little bit with your experience?
Do you think this is feasible? Is this realistic and, could it be profitable to make business only through on-line sales? Eventually, i could offer our predefined products to mobile phone and computer shops but, to be honest, i do not plan to make any local business (schools, companies etc...). Being a complete newbie, there isn't a thing a could do better than the competition and cutting the prices down is, well, stupid. This is not the way i would go.
Regarding printing, well, AFAIR, there are two options:
a) The Gerber system - sounds good AFAIR;
b) outsource to a local shop - i don't know the pricing here;
c) invest in equipment - being a newbie, i am afraid of this option.
The option a) sounds good (i don't know if the support/spares/consumables are ok and available), the option b) could be a problem and option c) is, IMHO, not realistic due to the small quantities and my none existing experience at all.
Well, there you go. A post with no question about the best printer/cutter.
Thank you very much for any feedback.
