V-Series status (newer wins)

• superseded_by: Vinyl4 (e.g. V4-S720 for V-800P)

New machine sales: V-Series models are treated as obsolete on Buythis. Example: V-800P page says "Old Product, Buy SKU:V4-S720 Instead (Obsolete)" and "removed from the supplier's list and is no longer for sale."

Vinyl4 (Hobby/Studio/Business) was launched as the newer range. Hobby competes with V-Series; Studio is positioned vs V-Smart; Business vs V-Smart Plus / V-Auto. Sign Africa / Cornerstone coverage matches that.

Still current: cncu.co.za V-Series support tree (drivers, scale settings, manuals pointers). Spare parts still appear in the buythis daily dump (strips, belts, pinch rollers, LCD, panels).

am.co.za/brands/v-series still exists as an entry-level brand page, but sales SKUs point to Vinyl4.

KB rule: keep V-Series knowledge for existing machines; for new sales recommend Vinyl4.
