hello everyone just new here. i have been printing heat transfer vinyl and transfer papers for almost 2yrs now. i have a china made redsail cutter and planning on buying a roland gx-24 this coming december. and wanted to get started also on vinyl decals. just wanted to ask if i can also make printed decals by using a epson wf1100 with ciss installed pigment inks? is there a tutorial for this? and if possible can i also install them for outdoors like for cars and scooters? thanks alot everyone hoping for your kind reply.

Welcome, again - I know it may seem overwhelming to "search" the site because it does not always give expected results, but there are some threads involving just what your asking. Maybe some of the others who have posted these threads may remember where they put them...
Once you get your Roland, the print/cut decals should become part of your business without too much trouble. I don't see what other equipment or software you are using, but that will dictate some of this as well. My suggestion is to take a mental list (Operating system, design software, cutting software, plotter) and as well as searching here, do a google search for tutorials from someone using as close to the same set up as you have. ClawGraphix, from here, has posted some of the more in depth tutorial videos that I've seen. Roland may have some at their website - I know Graphtec has a ton of helpful ones.
The Epson will work fine, for out doors, you'll just need to spray some type of seal coat (Frog juice, or Papilio's sealer, etc) on the stickers or laminate them. Enjoy!

yeah i have read here that graphtec cut much finer detail. the only problem that i am having is finding a distributor here in the Philippines. the only distributor that i have found are for roland and mimaki. ill try to find the one for graphtec. the others who sell graphtec here just buys them in the states and send them over here others are fake the one that are made in china.

hi again everyone just found the distributor of graphtec here in the Philippines. i asked for a quote for their CE5000-60 the price they gave me is 130,000php or roughly 2888USD there is a big price difference becasue the roland gx24 here costs 85,000php or roughly 1888USD almost a grand more for the graphtec.

People who have the Roland love it. I wouldn't hesitate at all to get the GX24.
