PrismJET VJc Color Printing & Cutting Systems
vs. All-in-One Printer/Cutters

Sign Myth BreakersDare to Compare!
What are you really paying for in an all-in-one printer/cutter? Are you really buying professional performance? For the price, you should be getting a high speed, impeccable quality color printer and a fast, vinyl cutter plotter that tackles the toughest materials. Dare to compare most all-in-one printer/cutters with the PrismJET VJc Color Printing and Cutting Systems and you may be shocked!

Color Print Speed and Quality
The PrismJET VJc Color Printing and Cutting Systems include the PrismJET VJ 64 or the PrismJET VJ 48, depending on the package. Just how fast is the PrismJET VJ? And what about speed and resolution?

At a print speed of 145 sq ft/hr, the PrismJET VJ 64’s speed is over 2 ½ times faster than a certain "Brand E" printer/cutter at 720 x 720 dpi, the industry standard resolution! This "Brand E" all-in-one machine only prints 56 sq ft/hr at this setting. Why even the PrismJET VJ 48 blazes at 140 sq ft/hr at 720 x 720 dpi and that's 2 ½ times the print speed of "Brand E"!

And what about another all-in-one machine, "Brand L"? Sorry, "Brand L" can only print 44 sq ft/hr at the industry-standard 720 x 720 dpi. (Incidentally, there's even one machine we'll call "Brand S" that only prints 32 sq ft/hr at this resolution!) More about the PrismJET VJ's speed/resolution and how you can triple your daily revenue.

Cutting Speed
The PrismJET VJc Color Printing Systems include the Vinyl Express Q-Series cutters. Just how fast are the Q-Series vinyl cutters? At 50 inches per second, the Vinyl Express Q-Series annihilates most all-in-one printer/cutters. Why "Brand E" and "Brand L" printer/cutters only cut 11.8 inches per second. That's slower than inexpensive, desktop cutters designed for hobbyists!

Better Workflow and Productivity = More Revenue
Since the PrismJET VJc Color Printing Systems include 2 machines - the wide format PrismJET VJ color printer and the Vinyl Express Q-Series cutter - you get incredible production flexibility for better workflow and more revenue generation. There's no need to wait around for the all-in-one printer/cutter to finish contour cutting, albeit at its slow pace, while other color printing jobs are pressing. With the PrismJET VJc Color Printing System, just remove the media from the color printer and insert into the vinyl cutter. Now you can print AND cut at the same time. It's simple and easy because the Vinyl Express Q-Series employs a employs a four-point registration system. There's no mystery!

In addition, if a print needs lamination, here's the truth: It must be removed after printing, laminated and then re-positioned again for contour cutting. The process is the same with either a 2-machine system, such as the PrismJET VJc Color Printing System, or an all-in-one printer/cutter. However, the advantage of the PrismJET VJc Color Printing System is a gain in productivity. Why? Because the color printer is not restricted to performing just cutting functions, like "Brand E" or "Brand L" printer/cutters!

Here's a sample scenario:
JOB: 300 - 2" circular Coke stickers printed at 720 x 720 dpi
Total sq ft of job is 36 using 3' wide x 12' long media; total revenue for job is $360 at $10 per sq ft
