Retails on this link for 5K, which I think is steep. That's closer to what their FC8000 should retail, and it's their top of the line plotter. This plotter is is still a damn good one, I just think the new comparable should be closer to $3900 or so. If you can pick it up with half a year of cc software - which may or may not be transferable, you should double check, I'd think $2,000 - $2,300 is a fair offer right now. Come this winter they'll be some crazy deals available by guys letting this kind of stuff go. I recently bought out a whole shop of tools, equipment. peel boards, brand new Vinyl Express 42" (sign warehouse brand of graph tec FC7000), and half a year of Tint Tek, for 2 grand. Another guy here sold a DGI with rotary storage for $900 last winter. Everyone starts way higher on here, craigs list, etc., but generally come waaay down.

i have the CE5000-120 and the thing works great. basically the same plotter

How old is yours blade?

brand new. just got it this summer. it actually measures out at about 52" so basically you're limited to a 48" roll. although i never go larger than 40'. it's a great plotter, haven't had any issues whatsoever, and setup was a piece of cake.

Sorry to barge in, but can anyone tell me if a Graphtec CE3000-120 is a quality plotter for tint cutting? There is one in my area and if it would be great for my need(tint only) then I am going to grab it.

why would you need nore than 40" plotter. Would you be pre cutting for commercial tinting . Risky incase you precut the job and they change color or cancal job.

Blade, What software do you use?

without seeing it and going on word that it is in good working order, I would probably offer you $500.
I already have 3 ... I guess I could use one at my dads shop for his junk .

for tint patterns.....llumar's precision cut

for everything else i use flexi-sign pro

I precut as much as I can, it saves a lot of time on site. Thats what they sign a contract and have a deposit for. They agree to the price and the color and film type, if they change their mind than they pay the material difference and I order the new film.
