Graphtec Vinyl Cutter Plotter and Parts

Graphtec plotters have a large variety of materials they can be used to cut, such as vinyl, heat transfer film, window tint, sandblast mask, reflective sheeting, and printable media. Many models are also capable of cutting thicker substrates like magnetic sheets or soft rubber (if you have the right blade setup), making them suited for use in signage, apparel, and craft production.
