Features

Major price-performance breakthrough

Loaded with software and industry-first features, the CX PRO Series represents a major price/performance breakthrough for cutting vinyl.

Hi-speed precision cutting

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.

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.

Unique front and rear loading

With front and rear loading, you can feed media backward for a specified page distance, then cut and feed the media forward. In addition to the standard media holder, three optional hangers let users load two rolls on the front and two rolls on the back. This feature saves time and space.

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 compensation, blade force, tool movement speed during tool-up and cutting mode.

CutStudio Softtware

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. In addition to a Windows printer driver, Roland bundles plug-ins for Adobe® Illustrator® 9/10/CS/CS2, CorelDRAW® 10/11/12 for Windows, and Adobe® Illustrator® 9/10/CS for Mac. The result is a seamless, user-friendly operating environment.

Roland Reliability

Roland cutters have earned worldwide reputation for reliable performance and outstanding results. Today, like all Roland products, they come with an international ISO certification. This signals Roland s commitment to offering top quality products backed up with first-rate customer service and a wide variety of supplies and accessories.

Over the past 17 years, Roland has sold more than a quarter million vinyl cutters worldwide. Most of them are still in production today. Modern Image of Huntington Beach, CA still uses a Roland vinyl cutter that it purchased more than a decade ago. It runs all day, everyday and has never needed a single repair, said Enrico DelMar, Modern Image president. Today, we have seven Roland s lined up and cranking out awesome vehicle graphics.
