A full agressive solvent printer will have to best durability and fade resistance but full solvent printers do require being ventilated outdoors due to the fumes. As far as a printer goes I would not reccomend any printer that uses water based or so called 'eco or light' solvent inks as the prints are just not as durable. I personally do not like the combo machines as when it's cutting your printer is then tied up.

It works the other way around on the combo printer/cutters - they print first and also print a set of registration marks, then it backs te material back through the machine and uses an electric eye of sorts to detect the registration marks then proceeds to cut the stickers out. I think there is also one called CoCut but I have not researched strictly cutting software in a year or two. That procut app is 1300.00 - dont know much about it though. Onyx does have better color control but is more complicated to use. I've found Onyx to be about the same in the support arena.

Also Flexi provides email support for free but when production is stopped that not helpful but they are pretty responsive. Flexi compared to the other higher end RIP's though has the best and easiest cutting support also integrated into the same app.

But with proper training, and creating custom profile with a good spectrophotometer and almost zero support is really needed with any of them except when you are first learning how to use the app. Yes but so does any of the higher end sign software - the most popular and advanced for printing - Onyx Production house is about 4 grand and also uses and hardware dongle, Signlab 7 uses a dongle, Rasterlink Pro uses a dongle, etc., etc. I just checked though and you can also pick up FlexiSign Starter 7 on eBay for a few hundred as well which I would highly reccomend as Flexi is an industry standard for sign making. I've seen both on eBay before for a couple of hundred bucks. A couple of cheap options out there I have seen though for just driving a cutter are SignTools 3 and WinPCSign - those are probably the lowest cost apps out. This lets you have a multiple color job with no overlaps, no assembling the peices, etc but does present a whole new learning challenge and a significant investment in new software and a printer. We cut single color stuff a good bit but nowadays if more than one color is involved we simply print on white vinyl and then cut it all at once. If you are only cutting single color stuff it will be quite easy after just a short time, multiple color stuff is where it can get quite complicated and is a point where you might consider the venture into a print/cut solution. With Flexi you just open your illustrator (or corel, etc) file, select the object, tell it to create a cut line and cut it. FlexiSign is a standalone app specifically for driving the cutter, has a ton of design capabilities built in, etc. Our cutter came with a cutter specific plug-in for cutting directly from Illustrator but it leaves a lot to be desired as you have to manually create cut lines and it has a hard time with multiple colors, strokes, gradients, etc. For the best results and least waste though the app should have native support for the cutter and be able to control the cutters options such as blade pressure, blade offset, and speed, and also be able to open and work with many file formats. There are a couple of cheapo cutter apps out there though that are under five hundred bucks that should do a decent job of running basic cutting jobs though. Our full pro version cost me right at 4 grand. FlexiSign is sweet and there is a basic version for running just a cutter (no print capabilites) but it is expensive. For strictly print we run Onyx Production House, when we need printing and/or cutting we use FlexiSign Pro.

Do a search for sign software - at my shop we have a 60' cutter but we also have a printer so we use a couple of solutions since we can print then contour cut printed graphics. Most apps do however also give a generic hp/gl driver which can drive unsupported cutters as well but that will not always work. Depends on the brand and model of the cutter - differents apps support different cutters.
