...but you know that CR is only little and you can not cut even A4 with it?? so as a business solution i would suggest something slightly bigger where you could cut few designs at once.

As long as you aren't getting in to sign work the CR will probably do about 99% of any vinyl size for clothing. If you are buying new then it's the Cameo anyway which is bigger anyway.

I would recommend size of cameo more then CR. CR is fantastic piece of kit for good price but i found when cutting some flock for t-shirts it was fine as long as i didn't had to print bigger size then "large". as when my design was about A4 but had to print XL or XXL design on this kind of size looked crap :biggrin:

I didnt know that - it would primarily be for tees and smaller garments....... so the CR would not do that? Can anyone recommend a good priced adequate cutter - even second hand?

The CR will do that, obviously if you want to get into bigger things other than just text or logos on tees then it wouldnt be suitable. If you want to do the hen party stuff, slogans logos etc it is a great inexpensive starting point. If you can find a bigger machine at a great price then go for it. As i've said I have cut vinyl for thousands of tees with a few blade changes of course and it's still going strong but it does depend on what you want to cut and where you are going with it all, window signs etc?

No, but I saw it in action at a fair last weekend. ( on the Reflectra stand) . Dont think it will be too expensive.
