Which Cutter, Summa, Gerber, Mimaki or other?
Hello all,
We went to the Sign UK show this week to see the offerings and had quite a few dealers offering their deals. We are looking for a cutter to half-cut, vinyl cut and image cut with our JV3. We currently do a lot of vehicle graphics so we need to look at the largest width machines. Needs some kind of optical system and prefer it to work with Corel Draw (our designers work in corel)Simply speaking, would you go for the Mimaki CG, Gerber or Summa?
Currently using Odsysey on Graphics Advantage 6.21 and number of things make us want to upgrade our software, what would you do?
(Also have JV3, Dimension router, Gerber Edge 1 to consider.)

i looked at mimaki many moons ago, good machines, from what i have heard? i opted for a 48inch wide roland, (third one at the time) never again., great machines but after sails suck.. (sorry roland… lets hope your buy direct scheme is better 😕 ) In the end i went for graphtec. bought a 54inch wide model and was so impressed by service etc, “I”, approached them… to become involved with the UKSG. they now are official suppliers to our group.
your wider graphtec machines come standard “i think” with optical sensors… infact im sure they do. how do i know>? well i was speaking to them at sign uk and i am thinking of scrapping an old roland 48inch with 60 graphtec to couple with our 54inch.
read back posts and i think you wlll find that graphtec are reported to have the most “accurate” optical sensor cutters on the go…. thats what i hear anyway..
bottom line is… there are many great machines on the go.. just guess its down to what you feel is at the time and price.
