In addition to Roland’s legendary reliability, the GX Pro offers enhanced versatility and ease of use. Vehicle graphics, window tint, signage, stencils and even pinstriping come out looking crisp and clean. But that’s just the beginning! Its ability to contour cut pre-printed graphics lets you create professional vehicle wraps and even heat transfers for garments. |
Speed & Precision
GX Pro vinyl cutters use digital servomotors to achieve maximum accuracy and cutting speeds up to 33 inches per second. The professional-grade cutter also features a curve-smoothing function that allows precise cutting even at high speeds. The result is faster production and better looking graphics.
Materials
From two to 54 inches wide, the GX Pro series accepts a wide range of materials. It cuts vinyl, paint mask, reflective vinyls, twill, heat transfer and sandblast material.
Cutting Printed Graphics
The GX Pro includes an optical registration system that automatically recognizes printer crop marks to create a powerful and cost-effective print and cut solution. Use your existing printer to create professional graphics and the GX Pro cutter to contour cut for vehicle wraps and even heat transfers for garments.
Front & Rear Media Loading
With front and rear loading, you can feed media backward for a specified page distance, then cut and feed the media forward.
Easy Operation
The front panel on the GX Pro includes buttons for frequently used settings such as blade force, cutting speed and origin point. It stores cutting conditions for up to eight pre-set jobs, including cutting speed, blade offset, blade force, tool movement speed during tool-up and cutting mode.
CutStudio Software
GX Pro vinyl cutters include Roland CutStudio design software. CutStudio lets designers quickly and easily enlarge, reduce, re-position, rotate and mirror images. BMP, JPG, STX, AI, and EPS file formats are all supported.
The GX Pro series works with all professional sign making software. Plugins for Adobe Illustrator (Mac and PC) and Corel Draw (PC) are also included.
Optional Film Design Software
Roland Film Design™ is revolutionary design software that has opened up the window tinting business to auto dealerships and restyling professionals. Loaded with powerful design features, Film Design can be used with any brand of automotive window film. It offers access to more than 2,000 different window film pattern kits that cover more than 1,000 different vehicles.
