The cons for Edge compared to inkjet systems is higher material cost, lower print resolution, slower production speed.

I have never used a printer with cutter, but i have tried 2 cheap chinese cutters that are both good for start-ups who want to cut sandblast with out tying up a lot of money in equipment, or who want it as a back up for more expensive equipment.
www.duluthsignsupply.com has 2 brands, one basic called Master, and a new import called Goldensign. Both have 500g downforce, but the goldensign is much more convienient to use. All the pinch rollers are ganged, so you open them up with a lever on the side, and there are many more control buttons than the Master has. OK, i"m a sucker for buttons, maybe it's a control issue.
