I just returned my Portrait 4 and now I know it wasn't just me! I'd get a perfect cut on the first image but by the last image on the same paper, I'd see too much white on one side. I was so disappointed because I thought the auto sheet feeder would be perfect for my business but now I'm willing to make the investment in the Graphtec to save me from all the frustrations and wasted material.
Thank you for posting this! Check out the DPR Gemini 40 and 60. Same Graphtec cutter but uses friction feed instead of suction. Way quieter. Just bought one myself. So far, so good. Both the FMark2 and the DPR Gemini have an option where a camera reads a barcode printed on the sheet to tell it what cutting file to load to cut the given sheet so you can cut multiple designs in a batch.
I don't know anything about the Gemini but the Graphtec CE7000 can read the barcodes, but the F-Mark2 version can't! I think it's due to using the separate F-Mark software and not CM or AI plug in
Thanks for mentioning the Gemini, as I didn't know there was another option. Besides the noise, what are the other differences between it and the FMark2?
I have been looking at that machine for almost a year now, and this has made me really want it more. Thank you for the helpful information and would be interested in the class...
Hey great video, ive seen a lot of people recommend this machine, but they all mainly do kiss cut, have you had success doing full cuts with thin paper? ~120gsm thanks
Thank you, great video. I would love to see the future video you mentioned about setting up the cutter. I just bought the 24" version and have a 24" roll printer. It arrives in a few days.
I was looking at this machine for a while. What about all of the studio files in Silhouette? Do you have to re-do everything for this cutters software? That was my biggest thing I was wondering about.
The graphtec only accepts AI files so it was definitely tricky to switch over! Once we figured it out it has been easy to replicate. We intend on creating a masterclass to teach you how to do that as well as graphtec tips & tricks - should be coming out around early September!
Hi, I want to get the course as I have the money to get it but would like to know more about what's covered? I've been in a different business for 11 years and know the business basics. I just want to be sure it's covering what I need to learn? Where can I reach out?

The FMark2 is discontinued the the DPR Gemini 40 and 60 are still viable for sheet feeding.
Hey.. hi.. do I have to have illustrator to use graphtec? I thought there would be inbuilt software!

I'll be interested in seeing how you like it! What kind of business do you have?
