Graphtec CE6000 40 VS 60 and media size consideration

[kineard 0]

I am just getting started with cutting vinyl.

I have settled on Graphtec ce6000 40 or 60

I am concerned about available media sizes for each.

40 will hold up to 19"

60 will hold media up to 28"

 

My end product will be small wraps no bigger than 3" X 6"

This makes the logical choice the 40 but I do not want to be agravated by trying to constanly customize or find the size of my media.

I will never cut anything much larger than 3" X 6" and if I do it certanintly would not be for money.

I will be cutting hundreds or even thousands of these shapes so roll media seems to be the logical choice. 

 

Am I over thinking this.

Is media 19" and below readally availble?

Will vendors trim the rolls to the size I need?

The differance in money is not a huge concern but I have no desire to throw money away either.

Thanks for any help

If you have the funds, get the Ce6000- 60 and don't look back.    vinyl is readily available in 12", 15" 24" 30"48" 60"  colors are more limited on the 30" on up.

 

You need to look at the  max cutting width, not the media size.

 

max cutting width for the 40 is 14.76" wide.  15" is perfect

 

max cutting width is 23.7" for the 60.  24"  vinyl and down is perfect.

 

Once people know you have a vinyl cutter, they will want all kinds of stuff.  Why limit your self to such a small cutter?   And the 24" cutter will resale better than the smaller, if you decide to sell it later.  24" is a standard size cutter.   You can't go wrong with a Graphtec.

what skeeter said - get the 60 which is a 24"

Sounds resonable.

Thanks for help.

Kineard go with the 60. I just got mine a couple of months ago, you will not be sorry.

Never heard anybody say they wish they'd bough a cheap cutter instead. Congrats.

I would be willing to bet you will eat the words "I will never cut anything much larger than 3"x 6" within 1 month. You will love the cutter and be real glad later that you decided to get the full sized machine. Welcome to the group!
