    After expanding our business into producing signs in-house a year ago, to dip our toe in the water, we started with a CP vinyl cutter, its time to upgrade to something better with a more precision.
    Looking at a Graphtec CE6000-60, any advise and anyone know of dealers offering good deals.
    Thanks

    Hi Mike
    The CE6000-60 is a great cutter, in fact all of the Graphtec family are.
    I have 2 larger machines myself.
    Others also to consider are Summa and Mimaki – a little more expensive but pretty much bomb proof.
    Pound for pound though, you won’t go wrong with a Graphtec. I’ve had at least 1 almost 10 years and never once let me down .

    Happy hunting :thumbup2:

    Any top brand cutter will be fine. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had a single problem with the two cutters we’ve had, Mutoh and Mimaki.

    Hi Mike,
    Graphtec CE6000-60 is a brilliant cutter and, in my opinion, the price and specs are better compared to Roland and Summa (talking about 24" models).
    I bought mine from MDP Supplies. Lowest price and genuine supplier. Also, quick delivery.

    Cheers

    My favourite has to be the Mimaki CG-FX. But then I haven’t really used many other to be fair.

    We run the graphtec ce6000 and its spot on, bought from Edward Mathias and using their ‘smart knives’ we cannot fault the letter shapes, even at 5mm.
