Graphtec Ce6000 Vs Mimaki Cg Sriii

[Emil]

hey all, getting an new plotter and wanted everyone's input on the two plotters, so far i have heard go graphtec but no one also seems to know too much about the mimaki, i will be using it for my t shirt business, im upgrading from my gcc expert 24, any imput would be great

Both are a good upgrade from the GCC. The specs are going to be just about exactly the same and both are trusted brands. I personally prefer the Mimaki because it has the illustrator plug-in that cuts directly from Illustrator. The Graphtec has something similar but it exports it to another program. Not a huge deal but it separates the two for me. I would say go with which ever one you can get the best deal on and you can't go wrong.

Should also mention I use Corel, not sure if it makes a difference

The Mimaki plug-in works in both. I don't have a lot of experience with Corel though.

So does it cut directly or do you have to click a button and then it will automatically send it to fine cut, as of now I hit print and it sends the file to my GCC to plot.

Either plotter will have a plug in for Corel and Illustrator
