hi,
i am new to HTV. i am planing to buy a cutter plotter.
i have 2 options in my hand.

1. buy GCC expert ii from eBay seller. cost will be $790 with shipping and tax.
2. buy Vicsign HW630 from local seller with 1year warranty for nearly $608. (US $505.72 6% OFF|Vicsign HW630 24)

and any of these possible to use with mac.

which option should i chose.
Thanks in advance

where are you located?

buying local is preferrable, how long has the seller been around?

it will be the cutting software that determines if it is mac compatible (scal can be used on a mac with gcc, vicsign?)

what volume are you expecting to do, # of designs and size per day?

what specific country are you in?

looks like easy cut studio (surecuts alot rebrand) works with hw630's and mac's
according to vicsign you should be getting a 2 year warranty

average i am expecting 25 but max can be 50.
i am from Sri Lanka
but the seller only provide on year warranty.

for that kind of volume i would look at a silhouette cameo to start with
it is cheaper and has a good free cutting program for macs (plus it is easy to learn with lots of tutorials online)

then if your business takes off you can upgrade machines and keep the cameo as a backup

see if you can find a distributor in sri lanka, here is their international distributors (malaysia, thailand, india, indonesia, etc.)
