I sell and install decorative window films, and looking to add a printer so I can print my own designs for clients. Needs to print in white, roll-to-roll, and at least handle 60" material. Mainly need it for smaller projects, short runs, and mock-ups. I will still outsource my larger projects to the big boys.

Man who touches printers inappropriately.
Mimaki UCJV300-160 is a workhorse, recently replaced with the UCJV330, the 300 is around $10K on the used market and the new 330 is just under $30K retail. Not messed with the 330 much but seems to be doing good so far. Also the bulk bottle ink system is about the cheapest way to go for ink per unit, and you use the entire bottle unlike cartridges. Can also do clear, textured and 2.5D prints if you want to go really fancy.

For short runs as you describe, Roland has a new lineup of UV roll-to-roll printers with white which are really nice. If your volume goes up, then I'd start thinking Colorado M.
