Default Graphtec-ce5000-60!!

HI EVERYONE

Well ive finally decided to go for the graphtec ce5000-60. i saw it for £999 with a stand. Is this a good choice?
I cant afford the roland gx 24 and i know its highly recommended.

Will i be able to cut any vinyl on this or do i need special supplys?

what is the most popular type of transfer paper to use on darks?
what about lights?

One more question will i be able to contour cut my normal transfers (ONES I HAVE PRINTED FROM MY PRINTER) with this machine? i believe it has an optical eye.


im reallly new to this
any info would be great. xx

Indigo, Yes you made an excellent choice, and yes you can contour cut with the ce5000-60 the Graphtec actually has more guts than the gx24.
Congratulations!!!

I have this same cutter and have used it for everything from window decals and signs, to vinyl banners, to heat press vinyl for names on shirts, very versatile and pretty easy to use.

Hi Indigo,
I agree with the above posts, but I think that you have been overcharged by the price of a pint of bitter. He He!

Congartulations mate on a good choice.

Absolutely you made an excellent choice!

You wouldn't have gone wrong getting a GX-24, but this machine is just as capable, and I think is a better VALUE.

We have one and we wouldn't give it up.
