Hi Nash,
I have a Robo and do shop/vehicle decals. There is a market for it as long as the price is right, sign shops offer fitting as well which some customers want, also the largest print you can cut is approx 7inch which is good enough for cars and most windows. Ps - Remember if its for the inside of a window to cut mirrored.

Good Luck

Depends on the size obviously. For 1mtr cut at 7in I charge £20 approx, depending if its going to be a repeat order.

Hi Nash can you not alter the length of the sheet to cut much longer. It makes it a lot easier if you can rather than making jigsaws out of A4 lengths.

Hi Nash,
Output settings 210 x 1000mm will cut one strip, I think if you tick the TILE box in output settings you can keep going and do longer lengths, but havn't done it yet.
