I never heard of this cutter before, and curious if anyone has it or had it.
What's your experience with this cutter?
Was this company supportive in helping you set up?
How many times did it give you problems?
The reason for these questions is because this company offers a one year warranty and guarantees a 10' cutting length. Something i couldn't do with the cutters from US CUTTER.
Hello, I've one of those Expert24, and it is working extremely well for me, it is really quiet compared to other same priced cutters. I've done up to 15' with no problems.
it doesn't have contour cutting, but unless you are cutting printed decals, it is not necessary.
it does have an error indicator, that doesn't allow it to cut outside the vinyl by mistake. and this eliminates the waste.
I've seen some chinese plotters claiming 800mm/s and this GCC with only 400 is way faster.
I use it as a secondary cutter, being a graphtec my primary. but I can asure you that for the price there isn't anything better.
I have also cut reflective and heat transfer materials with it with no problems.
and now GCC gives a TWO year warranty with it.
I seriously doubt I will spend $1,300 for a cutter again, I rather replace the expert24 every year. if necessary.
a ten year old cutter it is a ten year old cutter it doesn't metter if it is a roland graphtec or summa.
OK, here are some scanned decals that I just made to try to give you an idea.
on the letters I think you can go a little bit smaller than a quarter of an inch, however if you reach 1/8 you will struggle to weed it just like it happened to me.
while the 1/4 were really easy to weed.
(remember that this decals were made on an intermediate calandrated vinyl).
and the other decal of course you can go smaller I just post it because it was the decal that I was working on when I read your question.
I hope it helps.
Hello, is my again, I was teaking the cutter settings and came up with really small size lettering. it actually impressed me to see letters this small being cut.
I weed them in one piece.
the largest letters on top are less than 1/4" imagine the small ones!
weeding could be better if you take your time, I was just doing it to test the cutter potential.
actually GCC is from taiwan, but they opened a factory in china. and there is where they make all of their cutters and engravers.damn I'm starting to sound like a GCC representative. haha
I have only used with FlexiSign Pro. the software came with the driver already.
it is really easy to use, and instead of a lcd screen on the plotter it comes with the VLCD software that lets you modify pressure, speed, size and things like that. on your screen. (or you can do it directly on flexi).
I am not familiar with the GCC cutter first mentioned but I do know they are a quality cutter. I have a PumaIII and it is super. you can go to GCC LaserPro Laser Engraver, Vinyl Cutter and Printer to see more info. and yes they are made in Taiwan. their info is: Headquarters

Quite a few companies offer the higher end GCC cutters as private label units. They are a quality brand to date, will be interested to see this one in action.
Well unfortunately there customer service and support is by far the worst i ever seen. I asked them if i placed a bid on one of there cutters will i get a discount on shipping since im a few miles away from them i can just go pick it up.
They said yes absolutely, we will give you a discount for so much, so i said fine sounds great and i tell them that im a member of the t-shirtforums and i will be posting a review for there cutter here and if it is what they said it is i would highly recommend them and i also ask them for there phone number so i can ask more questions before i place the bid. Well i guess i should of never said that because after that they never responded back and they even kept declining my offer.
I emailed the guy through a friends compute (pretending i was someone else) and asked him to give me his number so we can talk more about the cutter and he says that they only respond by email.. So i tell him how in the hell are people suppose to do business with you like that, people are wasting a couple hundred dollars on your machine and you can't even provide them with a number?? He says im only a reseller of this machine i don't provide support...
So then i start thinking why in the hell are you selling a cutter that you can't provide support?? It doesn't make sense..
So please for anyone trying to buy a cutter, make sure your vendor can provide you with the support needed or at least guide you in the right direction to one that can help.
Be Aware of the vendors selling these GCC Experts 24" cutters on ebay, they don't seem like they know what the hell there selling.

That's GCC's fault for allowing anyone with a resale license to distribute their products. To bad because it seems to be a good cutter but has little to no support in the US. Looks like they do offer limited support after the sale if you register the cutter on their web site.
