    Chris, the Graphtec is fine, a quality bit of kit. It’s the Flexi software we can’t get on with. I’ve banged on about cutting software enough in the past, so I won’t do it again here, but it really isn’t suitable for our type of work.

    I would happily keep the Graphtec if I could make it work with Finecut, which isn’t perfect itself (what is?), but it is a lot more suited to a semi production type environment than Flexi.

    I have also come to the conclusion that it is pointless my staff having to learn two different cutting programmes and that we are better standardising on one.

    We have had a Summa in the past and that too was a good bit of kit. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody but, again, for us, driving software is the issue so, unless another alternative presents itself, I think I’m going to have to buy another Mimaki.

    Chris Finecut is bundled with Mimaki cutters. It only has a Mimaki driver, so cannot be used to drive any other plotter.

    It’s four months old now, but still for sale. 🙁

    We could do with the space.

    Anybody?
