    Advice Advice needed buying a solvent printer

    Not sure where to put this but If someone here is selling one I’d be interested if the price is right.

    Where red is the best place to purchase a solvent printer for vinyl and banners?
    Everywhere I have looked all say poa
    I can’t be assed ringing 30 companies asking for prices and being given the hard sell.

    so advice is more than welcome.
    Many thanks.

    Signmaster are ok on price and often have trade ins and ex demo machines for sale too.

    I don't know what you will be using it for, and obviously it could make a difference, but if I was in the market for a large format printer now I'd be looking at latex rather than solvent printers.

    Noticed you did mention it was for vinyl and banners, I'd certainly have a look at latex printers.

    Im still shopping mate.

    Looking at several but it’s such a big outlay I’m not rushing it.
    Im still outsourcing printing work and to be honest the wife is dubious about the costs involved.

    Its hard to weigh up pros and cons when I’m already flat out with work I have and if I will be able to recoup costs and get the extra done.
