Is the guy selling it running out of space?

 

[GypsyGraphics]

are you currently outsourcing printing?
if so, do you have so much work that you can be profitable purchasing and running your own printer?
what about the laminator?

I think there are some threads on that printer in the premium section. You should search them, lots of info there.

Before buying equipment to do wraps I would be asking myself if you can do the design, sell them and install enough to make money.

Judging by your profile, you've been around the block a few times. Is this something that will benefit your present business or will you be getting in your own way trying to figure something out you have no idea of how it works ?? Do you even realize, you're gonna need a laminator and plotter, yet.

Laminator, software, CLEAN place to do installs, someone who knows how to install said wraps...takes more than a printer to do wraps, so I say RUN, RUN like the wind.

You currently show that you have a 24" plotter, and I would assume the programs and computor to design on.

You will need a 54"-64" plotter, and a laminator of similar dimensions to properly service the printer you are considering.
Do you have the money to cover those items??
And what about the money to stock your shop with the vinyl and laminates to give your customers the PROPER wrap materials?

Lots to take into consideration!!

Outsourcing might be a better way to go early on.

Laminator is a must for wraps. Cutter, although you don't really need a 54"-64", a 24" isn't going to cut it (no pun intended). I'd say at least a 42" though
