I'm about to buy a Graphtec FC5100-130 or CE5000-120 for PPF.

 

 

Which one is better for PPT . I will use it with XPEL DAP or SUNTEK TrueCut.

 

1. Used FC5100-130 is 1300$

2. Used CE500-120 is 1800$

 

Could you recommend one of them?

 

Thank you.

Buy a Summa machine I personally think there a better plotter

[TTS]

Ask Xpel which machine they suggest. I had to buy a FC years ago because the other plotter I had didnt work correctly with their software.

Xpel recommend Graphtec, they also don't mind Roland. This was from a recent training with them (a few weeks back).

 

Basically in their head install location they use Graphtec. There is no reason why any other plotter wouldn't work, as long as the drivers are read and done require a special driver to work......unfortunately like my cheap plotter I use for window stickers

 

When in doubt email them and ask....

How old are each of the plotters?  

 

Also, keep in mind that the additional cutting area on the FC5100-130 won't provide any additional benefit, as film companies don't really manufacture 54" material any more.

I've been using an FC5100-130 to cut 3M 848 since Feb 2012. Replaced a blade. Once.

Makes weird noises but fires up every time. I don't regret the purchase one bit.
