1. Brother CM350 Electronic Cutting Machine

While the name implies that it is solely a cutting machine, the Brother CM350 Electronic Cutting Machine is also a vinyl printer, and actually much more. It’s a pretty high-tech and advanced machine which comes at a higher price, but it also performs very well.

Review

The Brother CM350 Electronic Cutting Machine comes with its own screen. It features a nearly 5-inch color LCD high-res display, which you can use to make edits to your vinyl patterns, to choose settings, and more.

It is recommended that you use the included Brother design software, which is great for creating your own designs, or you can download any of the many premade designs as well. Keep in mind that the included cutting mat is 12 x 12 inches, or you can also upgrade to a larger option to make larger designs.

The Brother CM350 Electronic Cutting Machine is designed as a scan-and-cut machine, so you can use it to scan your favorite images and messages, and then turn them into vinyl decals, monograms, or create heat transfers as well.

What is also nice is that it allows for wireless connectivity, so you don’t need a cable to hook it up to your computer.

If you want a high-tech, easy-to-use, and versatile machine for vinyl cutting and printing, the Brother CM350 Electronic Cutting Machine is a great option.

2. Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine Bundle

If you want an all-in-one bundle that comes with everything you need to get started, the Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine Bundle is definitely something to look into.

Review

What is really nice about this Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine Bundle is that the machine itself comes with Bluetooth capabilities, so you can wirelessly connect it to your computer.

On that same note, you also get the Cricut design space software included, which you can use to create a variety of vinyl designs, monograms, printouts, and heat transfers too.

This particular machine really excels at creating accurate vinyl cuts and printouts, and it comes complete with heat transfer samples, so you can get started with heat transferring vinyl monograms, and more.

The cutting mat is of a fairly high quality, and it has a good deal of stickiness to it. Something else that stands out about the Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine Bundle is that it is fairly small and portable.

All in all, if you are looking for a decently priced, versatile, and portable vinyl cutting and printing machine, especially for heat transfer, it’s the Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine Bundle you’ll want to look into.

3. USCutter Vinyl Cutter & Printer

Here we have a much larger and more expensive vinyl printing and cutting machine that has been designed for large and professional purposes, but if you want to make large vinyl designs, it can of course be used at home as well.

Review

The USCutter Vinyl Cutter and Printer is a large 34-inch machine, so it can handle creating vinyl designs and printouts up to 34 inches in width. Making this vinyl printer much larger than either of the others we have looked at so far.

What is also cool here is that the USCutter Vinyl Cutter & Printer comes with 3 adjustable pinch rollers, so you can use a wide variety of materials with it, and of course, vinyl is the main one, but there are also many others that can be used.

When you purchase this cutter and printer, you also get vinyl rolls, transfer tape, magnetic blanks, a knife, a squeegee, and lifelong support as well. Something that needs mentioning here is that the included design software is professional grade, and it is some of the best in the business.

The USCutter Vinyl Cutter and Printer only works with Windows, not a Mac, which is a big drawback.
