Newbie to the forums needing advice

[Nate Bivens]

Hi all,
Newbie here from Alabama. First time post.
Always lurked the formus getting tips, and have always gotten the best advice too, but now asking for help.
Looking forward to learning from your experience. We've been using a Summa D610 Pro for 15yrs now & time for
a new plotter. Recommendations? We are looking at the following:

Mimaki CG-100SRIII 24" or 42"
Roland GX 24" or 30"
Graphtec FC8600 24" or 30"

Any help would be appreciated.
Nate

All solid machines. I like the Mimaki because of the illustrator plug-in and ease of use.

I have a Roland GX-300 and love it!

And welcome! :Welcome:

Nice to meet you all and thanks for the input. We've been using a 24" and have
done fine with that. Is it worth the extra to go up to a 30"?

...also, after reading other posts in the forum, leaning toward a Roland GX-24.
Thoughts or advice?
Nate

Does your Roland work well with Flexi and are they known for durability? It will be running all day long, 5 days a week.
I also read one of your post about havin' a Roland 25 years old and still goin'! Very cool.
