If you cut a 10” wide design on a 15” wide vinyl roll, you will waste 5” of vinyl. It is possible to cut vinyl down to 10”, but this method is normally costly and time consuming. So you will need a cutter that can cut at least 15”. The reason is that most t-shirt vinyl will come in 15” or 20” wide rolls. So most users would think an 8” or 10” cutter would suffice, but that may not be the right choice for you. Most T-shirt designs are 8” x 10” in size. When buying a cutter, you should always take this into consideration the maximum size you need to cut. This one may seem obvious because this is the maximum width your cutter can cut. What’s more is that the GCC Expert comes with 3 pinch rollers for better tracking! It is basically a stripped down version of the GCC Puma III. A great cost effective starting cutter if you are just cutting vinyl is the GCC Expert. However if you purchase the wrong cutter, you may end up paying more than you wanted in order to get the right one. The cost is one of the biggest factors when purchasing a cutter.
So here’s a brief explanation of each one. Some of the factors are obvious such as cutter size, while others such as tracking length and maximum force are not. The cost, cutting width, maximum force, tracking length, cutting speed, software, additional functions are all factors that you will need to consider.
Whether you are buying a cutter for the first time or buying additional cutters for your company, there are many factors to consider.
