What is the machine called that companies use to laser cut stickers with? I have searched on the web but not really had any usefull results.

What I want is a small machine that I can start to cut smallish stickers to start with.

Something that I can connect to my computer and cut stickers from jpg images if poss.

Cheers

Hi mate, not possible to cut vinyl from jpg. You really need vector images.

You are after a vinyl cutter. Try these suppliers as a start.

www.grafityp.co.uk
www.victory-design.co.uk

fyi we paid £1500 + VAT for our latest vinyl cutter, a Summa D-60.

hth,

Gareth
My business I have recently started doing this full time, any questions just ask.

OK Richard,

I've got 100 "www.mjdesignsuk.com" vinyl stickers to cut 25mm x 150mm in silver vinyl. I'll send you the vinyl & you cut them in 10 minutes.
