good or bad??

I only use Rolands and paid bug money you guys think this one is good?

Anyone every try them?

thanks guys

Never heard of them and that does sound too good to be true. Personally I'd stick with a top-reputation manufacturer like Graphtec or Summa but that's just me. Do you have a website where you found them? I'm interested to see.

not sure about them

Looks scary to me.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Same Chinese plotters sold on EBay. Okay for hobbyist and no better than a hair dryer. No way for professional work.

Did you notice that there is No phone number - No address on their website? Only a reference to Las Vegas. That is probably because they do not want you to know where they are when you realize that jackpot was a hoax. Even DeSay gives you names, numbers and addresses.

If you have used only Rolands, why would you want to switch?

Them are worthless China cutters

 

[MTechGraphics]

I'm not going to switch i was just thinking about getting something like this as a backup cutter if its worth it...what you guys think??

 

[Charlie J]

dont do it....i can think of a lot better ways to waste $500

 

[MTechGraphics]

ok guys I'm not even going to bother myself Anyone have a nice used Roland for sale I can use as a backup let me know Thanks guys

I figure you get what you pay for.

Those look like a very cheap copy of Summa plotters, and just look at that cheap rollers.

You would be better off taking the $500 and burning it.

This is proably the same guy that sells this crap on ebay out of Las Vegas.
I wouldn't buy it even as a back up.

I'd stick with the smaller 24" model so when you end up throwing it out your door you don't throw out your back :Big Laugh
