FAQ
1. Can the Graphtec CE8000-60 Cutting Plotter also be connected to my computer via WiFi?
Yes the CE8000-60 is standard equipped with a WiFi module that is easy to install so it can operate wirelessly. Alternatively, the CE8000 series can be connected through a USB cable.
2. What software options are there to operate the Graphtec CE8000-60?
The Graphtec CE8000 series cutting plotters offer several software options to operate from: Cutting Master 5 This is a free plug-in software that can be used on both Windows and Mac computers. It is a RIP software that allows the user to send data to the cutting plotter, including all necessary settings, directly from CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. Graphtec Studio 2 This is a free software program, available for Windows and Mac, that combines many design and edit possibilities and all necessary features for every cutting job. It works with Silhouette Studio files, ideal for those customers stepping up from the Silhouette Cameo cutters. Both Cutting Master 5 and Graphtec Studio 2 can be downloaded for free from the Graphtec website.
3. Can the Graphtec CE8000-60 be used for Print & Cut operation?
Yes it can very well in fact. With the Print & Cut process the Graphtec CE8000 series can cut the contour from a print made on special media like TheMagicTouch transferpapers for garment decoration, printable vinyl for stickers and much more. From the cutting software (Cutting Master 5 or Graphtec Studio 2) the design is send to the printer, with the addition of markers which are printed along side the design. Once the printed media is loaded into the Graphtec CE8000, it scans the markers and calculating from their position it is capable of cutting the contour of the design on exactly the correct position. The CE8000 series offers many possibilities with the set-up of the cutting data that help to make full use of the media.
4. Is the Graphtec CE8000 series a good step up from my Silhouette Cameo Pro?
Yes indeed. The Graphtec is a professional cutting plotter that will make your cutting jobs a lot easier and faster for you and it is the ideal step up if the number of cutting jobs you get is growing. It will offer you a lot faster plotting speed, higher precision, more efficient media usage and therefore shorter weeding time.
5. Is the stand included with the Graphtec CE8000-60?
Yes it is! It was an option on the previous model, the CE7000-60. But on the CE8000-60 and CE8000-130 it now comes as standard.
6. Which one is right for me: The Graphtec CE8000-40, the CE8000-60 or the CE8000-130?
The biggest difference between these three models is off course the maximum cutting width. On de CE8000-40 the maximum cutting width is 375mm On the CE8000-60 the maximum cutting width is 603mm On the CE8000-130 the maximum cutting width is 1372mm TheMagicTouch is one of the few suppliers that offers both HTV and self-adhesive media on rolls with a width of 305mm which is great if you choose the CE8000-40. But there is a lot of media however, that is only available in 500 or 600mm rolls and you have to cut those media in 400mm sheets if you choose the CE8000-40. With the CE8000-60 you can always use the media directly from roll, regardless of whether the width is 305, 500 or 600mm. So that gives you more versatility and media efficiency. The CE8000-130 is interesting if you have vinyl jobs that require the extra width on top of that of the CE8000-60. Large Print & Cut jobs from large format printers, or large signing jobs could be the reason for choosing the CE8000-130. For decorating garments with HTV and the occasional vinyl job however, the CE8000-60 is the sweat-spot of the three models. The CE8000-60 and CE8000-130 models come with a stand that also carries the roll included, the CE8000-40 is a desktop model so it comes with a Roll Media stocker instead of a stand.
