NiteWalker 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Save those pennies for the Graphtec CE5000 bundle USC has. It's worth it in the long run. Otherwise, Zencut Green or Copam. Make sure to get the stand with the cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Go with the compam and put the rest into supplies. And yeah I agree get the stand. later... Pappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted March 6, 2011 Look for a used graphtec, I got mine for around $800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stetson5331 80 Posted March 6, 2011 Call USC and ask if they have a demo or clearence..Also might call others like Sign Warehouse n ask the same..Grimco, Fellers..I would start at USC first though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted March 6, 2011 So Copam has a 35" model....In looking around I did not see much media this wide.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 6, 2011 So Copam has a 35" model....In looking around I did not see much media this wide.... alot of models state 35"-36" that is just the total width of the cutting area... they cut 30" media, plenty around, both of my cutters are, actually my Graphtec is a 30" machine, but is 49.5 inches wide. It holds 30" media on down. Some sellers state the width of the cutting area, some state width of machine, You just have to look at the specs and see what the cutting area is.

Jay2703 704 Posted March 6, 2011 I would look at the ZenCut Green. It has servo motors and ARMS for contour cutting. The Copam doesn't have either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxanneupnorth 106 Posted March 6, 2011 I understand that any cutter can cut smaller....But why make a model that cuts an odd size?.... My next cutter will be at least 30" so I do more more wall decals in 1 piece... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 6, 2011 I would look at the ZenCut Green. It has servo motors and ARMS for contour cutting. The Copam doesn't have either. and another 320.00 . . . . once I get that close i would look at a graphtec - if you watch ebay there is a place that regularly sells open box for 1250.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I Have 2 MH-721.s and a Newstar OM-60 and I use my 721.s everyday.......5 days a week all the time, I have 3 cut stations and a print station, and my 721's everyday, I know I see a lota crap about them on here, But Bannerjohn said he had good luck with his and I got 1 two years ago, and this year got my second one, I have Flexi Pro,Signlab,Corel 9 and X3, and adobe photoshop 5 and these 721's just work great......BigJimT But if you want go and spend more money, but for me they cut as good as my Roland and Newstar have cut.
