Cutters and Software. Which?

[logobear]

most roll media comes in 500mm rolls, the cameo is fine, small on the desk, but wastefull coz you have to cut down media, and hence slow if you get a large order. Try for a s/h Graphtec or Roland if you can - they last for ever!

I'd like to keep this thread going a little My MH721 is playing up so I'm thinking about either going back to a Roland or buying a Graphtec. I have a Cameo which is fine for smaller work.

I'd like to cut straight from CorelDraw as I used to on my old Roland CX24 (Oh why did I sell that...twice!) but maybe buying a better cutter will allow this option without having to mess about trying to find drivers etc.

Justin...if you want print/cut I highly recommend a Versacamm and if only cutting then the Graphtec is excellent......Verscamm cuts via Corel export as eps file to Versaworks and Graphtec cuts direct from Corel I have both and am well pleased with them. Remember though the Versacamm with more than 2 print heads whilst desirable is pricy to repair and/or contract with Roland.

I've managed to sort my MH721 but cutting is still a bit of a pain.

I've been considering a versacamm.

Bought a Cameo just to make life simple and so far I think we're pretty impressed with it. I'm sure I'd have heard about it if there was a problem.

Bought one from Italy via ebay and it was v, v cheap.

It's a good little machine.

I have a cameo and as nice as they are as soon as you try and print anything bigger then the 12x12 mat it just slips and ruins your work, its a pain in the butt especially as ive just started to do wall art and ive ruined loads because of slipping ahhhh
