We are looking to extend our offering and return to wide format, - previously has Epson 7600 and loved it for photo prints and canvas, but don't think pigment is the right direction....

Looking to doing garment transferes, stickers and signage with print n cut... but what else?

Can the eco solvent printers still produce great photo and canvas wraps?
Is there much point in having more than 4 colours? - Some also have white & metalic silver, - but what would you use them for?

I am inclined to think that the entry BN-20 is not wide enough for some applications and media choice is limited so am looking at Rolands XXX 300 options.
Is there much to choose between SG, SPi, and VSi ?

How do ink costs compare for eco solvent and pigment (Epson/HP ?)

Finally. brand? - Roland seem to rule the roost, by what about Mimaki?
I usually buy new, so I get the training and support for the 1st year, - but is 2nd hand worth concidering?

Thoughts appreciated.
Phil
