I'm looking to purchase a plotter but I'm new to this part of the print industry. My question is how good are the pcut from uscutters and can it cut threw the glitter vynil and also the flock vynil. Will this cutter last me and will I be able to use photo shop for my graphics then import them into the software that comes with the plotter. Please help I want a plotter but I'm on a budget please help.also I'm not running the plotter all day and night.

can you be a little more direct. I guess i need to reword my question. Im looking into a cutter, but im new to this end of the business. i looked at the uscutters website and i saw the pcut plus the laserpoint and then the COPAM. IM ON A BUDGET AND NEED A CUTTER THAT I CAN USE TO DO SAMPLES AND SMALL RUNS INSTEAD OF SETTING UP SCREENS FOR EVERY LIL JOB. HOW RELIABLE IS THE PCUT OR THE LASERPOINT. THE LASER POINT IS THE SAME AS THE PCUT BUT FROM WHAT IM READING HAS A LASERPOINT EYE ON IT WHICH HELPS IN CONTOUR CUTTING. PLEASE HELP I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ASAP. PLEASE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAS EXPERIANCE USING THESE CUTTERS RESPONDE.

WOW, dude I hope you realize that's the owner of the board you're SCREAMING AT.
Rodney, pointed you in the right directions with his links and told you that US Cutter has their own forum where you could get more in depth help/answers.
I owned a pcut for a short period of time and yes it will cut glitter no problem, I never tried to cut flock, but my guess would be yes it will.
Copam would be your best choice out of the 3 you listed though.
Yeah.... my Pcut does everything i've asked it to do. Haven't had really any call for contour cutting, but after 1 year it's still plugging away just fine.
Like anything, it's got a few quirks, but they're balanced out by the cost savings vs. a Roland.
