Larry,

What you want to do is doable but not without cost and some programming
experience on your part (or pay a programmer).  I have experience in all
areas you need info on, but I have a question or two.

What are the basic sizes of the cylinders you want to make?

Do you know how to program in say, Basic on a PC?

How many rolls do you want to make?

Do you have a capital budget of $1500-2500 or so for equipment?
