Are you looking to make a purchase or doing an article on cutters? Just wondering!
Your title asks what the best cutter plotters in the world are, but then you ask for a list of all the cutters we know about.
I have worked with
Roland
Ioline
Mimaki
GCC
If you were to ask me which one I like the best I would say Roland. Yes they are more expensive than the other cutters but I have never had any issues with one and the support has been wonderful to work with…when I needed them which I have to say wasn’t very often.

thanks for your reply, yes, Roland is good
maybe you can advance other brands with good quality and low price, haha

I agree that for a low cost cutter the GCC Expert 24 is a good cutter. Nice startup or backup cutter.

Summa S-Series Tangential is the best. Hands down. Anything Mimaki, Roland, or graphtech has can't even come close.

Those Summa cutters look nice, is there a USA distributor?

Actually, there are 3 models in the "Expert" line. The Expert 24 has a stepper motor, no optical eye for contour cutting, and no LCD display.
The Expert LX is the same as the Expert 24 except it has an optical eye.
The Expert Pro has no optical eye, a servo motor, and an LCD display.
I personally have the Expert Pro after I sold my Puma III. I didn't need the optical eye.
Kind of funny that they would put the Expert Pro in the same family as the Expert 24 an LX because the Expert Pro is the Puma III without the optical eye.
Maybe they should have made them called the Puma III and the Puma III LX or something. It can be confusing!

Google Summa USA. If you are just doing t-shirts, then the Summa S-Series is overkill. A Roland GX24 will be a real good starter for you. The Roland Cutstudio software makes contour cutting a breeze. You can cut vinyl with it too.
I had a Graphtec FC8000 and I hated the ARMS system for contour cutting. It did regular cutting awesome though.
But if you want the best, Summa S-Series Tangential... Hands down.

then why post a thread asking our opinion about our views on vinyl cutters if you've already dismissed the best brand because it's 'too expensive?"
haha

It's all a matter of opinion as you can see but you should have been clear about price because cutters can be quite expensive especially searching worldwide.
There is no "best" cutter out there! There is better customer support, ease of use
and durability. It may not limit to just one either..
budget would be helpful
Do you need graphic software?
Do you have an understanding on how a cutter works?
Do you want something you can grow into our just start slow and upgrade or add.

GCC are vinyl cutters that have been mentioned and recommended already here.
Expert series
Puma series
If you do a google search of the forums you will find many happy people with theirs

You keep telling yourself that son. When it comes to straight out cutting... Even the Roland Pro models (gx300 and above) are toys compared to Graphtec and especially Summa S Series. Any sign pro knows this.
Do your research son. Go to signs101 and try saying that Roland has the best plotter. They'll laugh you right off the site.

I think the OP sells cutters themselves and were looking for a roundabout way to get people to self-promote for them. But it turned out nobody uses their products. If you look at some of their other posts it's cute how they say "I use" and "I just bought" even though their username gives away who they really are.

I didn't notice this until you pointed it out!
I did ask if they were writing an article or something in my first post.
I did go back and read their other post and find this one a little odd.
“It seems my customer is still having trouble with the laser; in fact he claims it has never been working properly. who can help me, thanks”
Unless I am reading this the wrong way, they sold someone a laser cutter and are asking for help here on the forum to get it working?
Just seems a little strange to me they can't support a cutter they sell.
Has anyone used this brand of cutter?
