Rob,
I had a similar dilemma a couple of months back when I was looking for a plotter. They’re hard to find, and for 24″+ you’re looking at a minimum of 1k 😕 I wasn’t short of cash for the plotter, but I was trying to make the money I had stretch. I wish now I hadn’t have hesitated, and I’d just bought the plotter I have sooner (Graphtec CE3000-60 btw).
Humble opinion here, but for about 1.5k you can buy brand new. I know it seems alot at the moment, but once you get going in the sign trade, it’ll be money well spent 😀 I also have a shop which I’ve run solely as a sign & print shop for the last 4 weeks, and I can honestly say, if I was to do it all again, I would have spent on exactly the same equipment, but I’d have spent the money without hesitation and alot faster!! 😮 😀
Cheers, Dewi

Rob,
I have a Graphtec FC 2100-50 plotter that we no longer use. It’s probably about 10 years old now and I think it cost somewhere around £3k at the time. (just goes to show how things have progressed) I’m open to offers
around £350 -
yes am interested
can you send me details of it eg. size and is it a plotter
pm me your phone number so i can talk about detailsregards

Rob,
It’s a 500mm wide (20″) cutter with pinch rollers, so it takes either sprocketed or unsprocketed vinyl.
My number is 01444 254040
