FAQs – Cut & Finish Equipment

About Cut & Finish Equipment

What equipment does a signmaking business need to start?

Most shops begin with a vinyl cutter, laminator and flatbed applicator table — then expand into cutting rails, heat presses or laser cutters as production grows.

Should I choose Roland, Mimaki or Graphtec for cutting?

Graphtec is known for accuracy and long tracking; Roland offers excellent versatility; Mimaki balances performance and affordability.

What is a Flatbed Applicator Table used for?

It mounts vinyl, applies laminate, prepares rigid boards and eliminates bubbles or creases.

Why laminate prints?

Lamination protects graphics from scratching, weathering, fading and wear — essential for outdoor signage and vehicle graphics.

Acrylic letters, engraved signs, stencils, retail displays, awards, templates and personalised gifts.

Do I need a heat press?

If you produce customised apparel or heat-transfer graphics, a heat press is essential.
