I am an apple user and would like a plotter to cut my heat transfers. I have been looking at the 24" Graphtec CE5000-60 Vinyl Cutter Plotter and Roland GX-24. Is one better than the other? Is one easier to use with an apple? They seem to be similar in cost. Would someone suggest a different plotter?
Thanks!

Actually the Graphtec is less expensive because it comes with a stand which is a must with a 24 inch cutter, Graphtec is a great plotter/cutter the reason you don't see a lot of them here is that they gear most of their marketing to sign people.

If you want a little less expensive model than both the Roland and CE5000-60 look at the Graphtec CE5000-40, its a proffesional series cutter and takes 19" material with upwards to a 15"cut and it also has a optical eye to contour cut transfers.

Well, prolly about 800 of my posts are touting the qualities of the Graphtec.

We have the CE5000-60, and we haven't looked back.

I was in the same position you were in when we were looking, but I trusted my Fiance, and we went with the Graphtec. It'll do come amazing cutting!

This is a thread I posted just after getting our plotter:

Why We Love Our New Graphtec CE5000-60 Plotter

I wanted to test this cutter's limits, so I did this as the very first thing I cut. mark told me it would never work, and he was MORE than pleasantly surprised he was wrong!

I'll happily send that file to a GX-24 owner to do a direct comparrison. I'm curious how the Roland would handle this file!

That Roland owner needs to have a camera that will do macro pics, tho.
