Cutting vinyls and contour cutting pre-printed media from most any laser, solvent and water-based inkjet printers are what Graphtec cutting plotters are reliably famous for.

On the job, the CE5000 series offers real cost/performance advantages over other brands of cutting plotters.  With faster cutting speeds and higher cutting force, you'll have the flexibility to handle a wider range of material.  The USB 2.0 high speed data interface or RS232C Serial Port ensures a reliable connection to the computer, either on a Mac or Windows PC.

The CE5000 comes with ROBO Master Pro design software (Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7) and the completely new Cutting Master Production Manager and Plug-in for the latest versions of CorelDRAW© and Adobe Illustrator© on Windows. Adobe Illustrator© plug-in available for Macintosh systems.

The built-in front control panel provides complete parameter control including eight preset cutting conditions, as well as advanced features like tangential control mode, down force offset, pen up speed, blade wear monitoring and more.  With a 25 pin RS-232C or the High Speed USB 2.0 control interface, the CE5000 is compatible with legacy computer systems as well as the latest PCs available now and for several years to come.
