I am thinking about getting a Roland GX-24 Plotter. Anyone have experience with them that can give me any feedback?

I have one and love it.

Great choice. You can't go wrong with it.

HRClothes · February 10th, 2009

Anything I should know about them?

also does the Cutstudio work with Vista?

Get rid of Vista! Works best with XP. Vista won't be around much longer.

Buy it and don't look back. I agree on the Vista, use XP.

You will have issues with the driver working with Vista. Stick with XP and you'll love the GX-24 and everything it can do for you.

I've got a GX-24 and run it with Vista and a Gateway PC right out of the box with ABSOLUTELY NO problems. I don't understand why all the Vista bashing. Don't let that scare you. I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there who are making their systems just limp along using OLDER software. I know of a few personally. I can only recommend what I know and I have had zero problems with Vista and my GX-24. Just be sure to stay with a 32 bit operating system on the computer because the newer 64 bit operating systems are not supported with the proper drivers from Roland.
I installed everything just like the instrux said with ZERO problems and it's worked great ever since I cut my first piece of vinyl.
I think a lot of folks try to "mix and match" hardware, software and drivers just to try and get things to work without spending any extra bucks and THATS where I believe a lot of their problems come in.
I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for. You'll love this machine, it's great!

Sorry I forgot to say that Cut Studio works excellent with Vista also, again zero problems. Good luck. I'm not really sure why so many people are having problems with this.

I got one a few months ago and love it .short learn curve
If you can afford it get the stand and a 60 degree blade with an extra holder (so you don't have to adj. the blade every time you change it) IE...thermoflex vinyl to flox. You'll just need to adj pressure.
simple and clean machine...I love it....Wish I could afford the sp 300...ho well one day

Thanks for the help guys. I am looking for an XP computer I can just buy without a pain and I cannot find one at the stores. I know I can have one made for me. I would rather buy a brand there is a warranty. I may have to buy an extra software disc for xp because im taking precautions so things go right. it may work with vista but I would rather have XP.... I personally like it better.... but Thanks for all the help...
