Default Comparing vinyle cutter plotters, please help!

Hello everyone, I am Kirstinskniknaks and very new to all of this. I am wanting to purchase a vinyl cutter and I need to know from you the experts which one is the best or does it matter? I am looking at the Roland GX-24, Enduracut 24 or the Lynx 24. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will mainly be doing signs, wall expressions and hopefully try out some t-shirts.
Thanks for your help,
Kirstin

I own a Eduracut and really like it. I have heard other people rave about the roland gx 24. I think the roland is a better machine, but the enduracut was easier on my available cash. I wish you luck. ............ JB

I have had two Rolands now, with the latest being a GX-24 and the machine runs like a champ. The older Roland finally died after almost 16 years of daily use, so reliability is not an issue.

The cost is a bit more than some, but in the long run it will pay off.

Check with Josh at Imprintables, they have good prices on them.

I have had my enduracut since Oct, I think it is a great machine. I purchased the highend software too. I think this makes a difference in capabilities........... JB

If there is one suggestion we can make is that you are much better off to stay with a brand name cutter especially when you need service or a part. Graphtec,Roland,Ioline, and Summa are very good machines. We run a Graphtec and are really pleased with it. Good luck
