    I have owned 3 cutters to date Roland PNC5000, Summa DC610 and Graphtec CE3000 MK2 120.

    I have to admit i liked the Summa best and find the Graphtec tempremental and would hesitate to recommend a Graphtec altough mine has not had any major issues.

    My opinion of Graphtecs has gone up today as far as reliability goes, I have my first order to supply trade print to the biggest sign company in my area, whilst over there the other day i noticed the front of one of there Graphtecs (they have 5) and all of the plating has been worn away from the curved plate at the front, when i say all i mean there is barely a trace, one can only guess at how much vinyl that machine has cut in its lifetime but the answer is a lot.

    I spoke to the operater and he says new blades and a couple of services is all it has had and is about 7 years old.

    Regards

    Russell.

    Couldnt agree more Russell, with the exception of our first cutter being a gerber 4B many moons ago… we have always run Roland and graphtec cutters and printers. from 24inch to 54 inch wide… we go through allot of vinyl on a weekly basis and these machines never stop cutting, never miss a beat. extremely reliable…
    we recently upgraded too new machines and after much shop around graphtec gave us a great deal coupled by our UKSG discount and their proven track record, we had to go with them again. we now have two 54" graphtecs running side by side. brilliant bits of kit and i would recommend them to anyone.
