Hi Veena...
Here's the deal...if you are going to get into banners and vehicles,
go for the 30" model
(that's the 300, isn't it?) because if you don't-you'll regret
getting the smaller one real fast!
If you are only going to do heat applied-get the smaller.
I don't know anything about the machines-I run the Roland Versacamm
SP300V for
digital printing and diecutting.
All my regular vinyl, and heat seal vinyl (not digital printed) go
through an Allen
Datagraph iThirty with friction feed wheels.
If the GX's have friction feed wheels, then you should be able to use
up all your
scrap-because you can reset the width and use up 'waste' material.
IF the machines are 'cogwheel' driven (perforated vinyl roll needed)
then you are
going to have tons of waste-and the iron on material is NOT cheap.
Personally, I'd go with the Allen Datagraph tabletop machine for you-
but it is
going to be $3,000.
Well built though, worth the price-and American made-right here in
New Hampshire.
Not an import...

Hi all,
I was thinking of buying a vinyl cutter and wanted to get some feed
back on GX 24 and/or GX 300 from folks who own them. The price
difference
is about 1200 and wanted to see which one would do the task for
me. I would
be using this for heat applied graphics, may be for banners, and
vehicle
decals.
What are the pros and cons of one or the other? How have you liked
it? Does it come with any software? What is the learning curve?
How easy is it to cut from vector art software (corel, illustrator)?
What did you buy with your initial set? Do I need to get a stand or
is the
table top better?
What else do I need to look for that I have missed?
Appreciate your response.
Best Regards,
Veena Viswanath.
