Do yourself a favor and stay away from those Chinese POS vinyl cutters. Find a good used Graphtec, Roland or Summa. Even a 15-20 year old Graphtec will be less of a hassle than one of those. I have a sign shop and when I reopened my own business after working for someone else for a few years, I was able to get a used FC7000-100 41" Graphtec for $2500. The machine is now about 17 years old and is a work horse that never have to worry about.

I had one of those Chinese machines for about a year or so and it was so temperamental that I grew to hate it. I wasted 20-30% of the vinyl I ran through it due to tracking issues and no matter what I did, it did not get better. I replaced it with a 24" Roland that I got from a customer (who thought he would get into the sticker business until he realized that the plotter was the simplest part of the business) for about $300. That Roland served me well for about 2-3 years until I upgraded to the Graphtec.
