GOFIRST purchased a
Silhouette Cameo this spring and has had no major issues with it. We used it to cut all the decals for
Perses and for some fun stuff (our equipment is open to members, and we have a small "vinyl cutter fan club"). We also used it to cut GOFIRST logos to put on all of our parts organizers.
A Cameo is a good place to start if you're looking to do 12"xN or smaller cuts (remember, vinyl cutters usually feed off a roll). We've been quite happy with ours.
