jbass09 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Hey guys. I am still the new guy thinking about which one of the two to buy. I was sold on the Graphtec until I called sales and they informed me of the ZenCut Green (ZCG). They explained it would do a "similiar" job for a little less. I have researched a ton on the graphtec and I am happy with what I have read. The ZCG has very little community input in the forums. Thoughts? I am ready to buy today. I have some jobs coming up.

knucklehead 530 Posted May 27, 2010 You got two options. Get the Graphtec, or get the zencut, kick yourself in the ass, and then get a Graphtec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbass09 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Not at all Dakotagrafx. That's the whole point of research and analysis of the information. But if a new brand of cars comes out and it's seems like a good deal but there are little reviews on it, like in this case, I would probably stay away from it. The "new" brand would be the ZenCut even though its a rebranded GCCC Jaquar, which makes it possibly a good buy. IDK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamafan2277 50 Posted May 27, 2010 Since they are very compariable in price I would go Graphtec just becasue you can see how many people here have them already and love them. Plus you have a large base of other users if you have questions. If I had the cash and was in your shoes I would go graphtec and not even look back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbass09 0 Posted May 27, 2010 LMAO @ knucklehead. I dream of one too manwayvan and that's why I am going to make that a reality today. Time to take some action instead of talking about it.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 28, 2010 Not that the zencut is bad - reliability and ease of use are yet to be proven. on the car analogy I am glad i wasn't an early buyer of the NEW Edsel, pinto (actually I had one), vega (first aluminum block), Cadillac 8-6-4engine, all touted as the best in their day by a salesman! I am sure you will go with your gut after your research. i just don't trust salesmen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted May 30, 2010 Using a Graphtec every day- I'm still amazed everytime I use it. Go with the Graphtec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Schramm Posted May 31, 2010 Just bought a Graphtec 2 months ago and there is no way I would trade it for another machine! Graphtec is amazing and its true tracking is great for cutting items straight as I have already cut graphics 20' long with no mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted May 31, 2010 I'm a Graphtec owner, truly great machine, with no problems in over 3 years. I purchased new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NukleoN 34 Posted June 23, 2010 Go with the proven machine, Graphtec! If you're gonna spend a decent amount on a cutter, you may as well go with a proven brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NiteWalker 10 Posted June 23, 2010 Go with the proven machine, Graphtec! If you're gonna spend a decent amount on a cutter, you may as well go with a proven brand. This. Though I'm a Roland fan. Buy quality upfront so you don't regret it later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
