I’m interested in getting into the sign making field but I really don’t even know where to start. The big question I have (and I can’t seem to find info on this on the net) is what is the difference between a vinyl cutter and a vinyl printer? It seems like vinyl cutters can print on vinyl, but then there are vinyl printer-cutters. I’m very confused. Any help would be appreciated.
