Good evening thank you for your video we just purchased the graph tech 7000. The salesman came out to show me how to use it but he just raced through the instructions. So like you I will be learning as I'm going. A lot of our signage is for a hospital that I work at. Thank you for your video I will be watching more of them I'm sure
I also just bought a ce7000 at a price of IDR 28,000,000 Indonesia. There are many menus that I still don't understand. Because the video instructions from graphtec are not very complete lol
Thanks, you have given the big use of the detail regarding the systematic use of this machine which use to make the work for the new user more convenient, I am the first time user of this this machine and first time I am going to purchase it after seeing a lot of other machine makers, and at last, I decided to purchase the Graphtec ce7000 60 and Graphtec ce7000 130 machine to open my new part of the business concern, I am very thankful for the help given by your side. Thanks, Regards, Jitesh Sharma (India)
I’ve had a Graphtec Q60 for years. I know I need to think about getting a new one at some point. I totally agree with you-the menu is weird. I think the Q60 menu is a bit “less weird”. But your video helped me solve my problem of “what am I going to get when my Q60 bites the dust?” I know the CE7000 would be an easy transition for me. And cutting right from Illustrator is a real plus. Very informative video for me - thank you!
I have the older 15in desktop model, best investment I’ve ever made. Bought it in 2019 and it’s my first vinyl cutter. What made me buy it was the illustrator plugin because I use illustrator.
Thanks! That was very helpful. appreciate your videos. I just purchased the Graphtec CE7000. Will you be reviewing how to adjust blade in future video? I tried to cut for the first time and it keeps cutting through the vinyl and I haven't turned it on again since, lol If you could review how to best adjust blade that would be helpful, Thanks!.
Yes i will. That was a little challenging. I’ll make a video. Screw it all the way on at the bottom and adjust it from the top. It has to be out ever so slightly to the point where you almost can’t see the tip of the blade when you look at it from the side.
Thank you, this video cleared some questions up and helped me finish setting things up! Graphic rules btw! I've used it both professionally and personally. =)
What about 2.0 mm styrene sheet for model making? Evergreen Scale Models sells styrene sheets in various thicknesses and can be purchased at Hobby Lobby.
Gotta break it down and show the difficulties that i had getting it going so you don’t have these issues. More to come no worries. Few things I didn’t explain because ai didn’t want the video to be too long.
So I have a question, I just got this machine and for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not cutting the whole project, I specified the roll width and then how many copies I wanted, everything looks fine in the preview window inside of cutting master but when I hit Output it only cuts about 80% of the job and then it stops. I've wasted soo much vinyl now :-(
I got the graphtec ce7000 thanks to your review. I am so grateful for your video. I followed your steps. I opened a logo on illustrator and then went to cutting master 4 and clicked cut/plot but this a window pops up stating "no cuttable object with current setting"? Can you tell me what I am missing?
Do you happen to know when the cutter shows "load media" what am I doing wrong? I have added the vinyl and ready to cut. But it keeps showing "load media"
Did you figure this out? I work for a screen printing company and we just got this machine and can't get past the Load Media issue. Is it because the wrong USB port was selected on the machine control panel?
I don’t have the cutters you bought, I bought a SC2 from USCutters. It’s bigger (34”), as fast, less expensive (much cheaper), and easier to use even if I have to transfer my files to their software before I cut. When it comes to working efficiently, I use the K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple Stupid). Just because it’s ridiculously expensive doesn’t mean is better or the best, it just means it’s over done. My cutter paid for itself in a matter of weeks, not months or years. Enjoy!
@@ClownfishDepot Yes and no. USCutter's does not support is as that, but the SC2 can do trace cutouts,, you just have to manually register the registration marks with the built in laser pointer. It isn't 100% perfect, but might be good enough for your use. I use it to cut clock faces and it seems to work fine for simply cutouts with a boarder.
My graphtec 7000-60 is cutting smaller than the size I have set my design. For example, I want to cut a 14.25 inch diameter design and it cut 12.5 inches. Do you know what setting I may have missed? Thanks so much!
Cameo IS made by Graphtec. I can tell you don't have very much experience working with vinyl cutting. The CE series is very simple to use. It has the same settings as a Cameo. Just different menus.
No. I think you have to purchase a wireless dongle to make it wireless. Most devices have a wireless usb dongle on the inside. Cameos have them. They live behind a door you can access with a screwdriver.
Wow that thing is nice, thx for info!! Unfortunately it’s too pricey for me . Has anyone used a US Cutter as an in between with Graphtec and the cameo??
@@adubbproductions yeah in master cutter just above where you enter size of image is the bit you put your roll width and length, or if you are using a sheet and it's size
This question isn't about the graphtec but DTG. Any update on the pretreat process? Are you still using the Wagner or the Viper Mini? What pretreat have you seen worked the best? Also, what's been the washabilty of the garments since you printed them?
Still using the Wagner. I just don’t have the time at the moment to do all the testing in the viper mini to justify the set up and breakdown with each use. On thing is for sure though, when I get around to It I’m confident that it will give me more consistent results when printing. The definite height with each spray can guarantee that. As for the shirts that I’ve made. They are lasting just fine.
@@adubbproductions I'm thinking about getting the Viper mini or a box pretreat machine but I'm tossed up. The Viper seems consistent and convenient but the price is ridiculous for what it is. Lol. If it was $500 cool but $1500 is insane but compared to a box is cheap i guess. The box im looking at is $4k+ but I don't want to deal with a bunch of added maintenance and space taken up and the price is the price. The Wagner is cheap, a bit messy, and isn't as consistent but gets the job done. It has been used forever by most so you have to try it
Woohoo Congratulations. What software came with your graphTech? Is the software 🖥 Mac compatible? BTW It’s All your fault Santa is in hotwater due to one of your videos my husband watched with. That being said Nope Santa didn’t bring that this year lol. However Santa did bring me a Ricoma MT2001-8S 20 needle 🤦♀️
😲🤗 Wooow. Big congratulations on that. I’m my dreams. Did you use my affiliate link? I’m so happy for you. You have to tell me how that WiFi transfer designs feature works.
@@adubbproductions Thank so much. No he had no clue about the link hes new to TH-cam Im sorry. Im actually looking forward to trying the digitizing on the panel apparently you can bring a file in to the machine and it will digitize it for you, since its the panel from the SWD Machine Remains to be seen
Oh no. That’s unfortunate for me. Yea I’ve heard it has a host of great new features that I wish I had on my MT. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade but not anytime soon.
I’ve never tried it but I’m pretty sure you can make anything wireless with a dongle. Just beware when you introduce a wireless dongle that’s another layer of complication and possible things that could go wrong so O think that’s why they don’t have one attached. They are inexpensive and just plug and play. Wireless dongle. maybe I’ll try it and make a video.
@@adubbproductions was about to purchase this week but this comment has made have second thoughts. I've been using the cameo plus for around 2 years and need an upgrade due to getting much busier. Will I regret the purchase? Please let me know what you think. Thanks man

“Graphtec’s Superman and the Silhouette’s like a guy that lifts weights” 🤣😂🤣 Learnt a lot from this quick demo. Would love some more Graphtec videos..
More Graphtec videos coming soon.
I've been running graphtec for my tint shop for over 10 years. Quality unmatched. Great review 👏

Keep up the content..I feel you man when you're busy with too many machines somebody end up not getting too much love
It was a learning curve for sure. It can seem intimidating trying to operate, but you’ll be happy with it. I recommend it.
I’ve had a Graphtec Q60 for years. I know I need to think about getting a new one at some point. I totally agree with you-the menu is weird. I think the Q60 menu is a bit “less weird”.

Just bought this machine, I used to work at Fast Signs so I used one there but I don't remember much so this videos helped out! Thanks man!
No problem. Thanks for watching. Wow they use these at fast signs?
I sent mine back last year. It was a pain in the butt. They definitely need to make it more user friendly
Yea. It’s not easy to understand at all. It’s like they have a secret club and don’t want anyone to join.
Graphtec is the bomb.. I've want one.. for two years.. think I'm going to get the 15 inch a little cheaper and in my buget.
I have the older 15in desktop model, best investment I’ve ever made. Bought it in 2019 and it’s my first vinyl cutter. What made me buy it was the illustrator plugin because I use illustrator.
Man this is so dope. I was considering the silhouette before but not anymore. Thanks for the video.
Wow, it’s like the grandfather of Cricut lol. That’s awesome
The fact that it talks to illustrator is amazing to me. It really is fascinating.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy New Year to you and the family

Thank you for posting your affiliates on here. I just found a htv i been looking for that was out everywhere else.
No problem. Thank you for using my affiliate link. I appreciate that.
hi..
if is possible made a video haw too use graphtech pro studio program with CE 7000 ..thanks !
What about 2.0 mm styrene sheet for model making? Evergreen Scale Models sells styrene sheets in various thicknesses and can be purchased at Hobby Lobby.
This was very helpful!
More awesome content and helpful information...
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Would you do a video on tiling on the Graphtec? I make porch signs and they can be long and I want them to cut in 2 pieces. Please help me.
If you keep making videos like this breaking it down like you do I have to get one
Gotta break it down and show the difficulties that i had getting it going so you don’t have these issues. More to come no worries. Few things I didn’t explain because ai didn’t want the video to be too long.
@@adubbproductions thanks Graphtec is next on the list
Where can you get bulk polyester white shirts
Love me some vinyl
I do too.
Screen light comes on in my graphtec machine but the machine does not turn on what could be the problem CE7000 60 modal
Graphtec makes the Cameo… cameo is for the crafters market… Graphtec is Lexus and Silhouette Cameo Toyota
I would put your pinch roller further into the tape. Can you not set it up as a printer and print directly from your application..
Does it work on a Mac with new CC 2024 illustrator and the newest Mac OS 14.2 I think it is?
So I have a question, I just got this machine and for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not cutting the whole project, I specified the roll width and then how many copies I wanted, everything looks fine in the preview window inside of cutting master but when I hit Output it only cuts about 80% of the job and then it stops.

Fire tut!

Did you load the media up to the punch rollers or past the pinch rollers so that the lense on the head can see the media?
Thanks a lot
I loved my graphtec but I haven't touched it over 6 months but I don't do much vinyl anymore
What do you do now?
Can you successfully cut paper and cardstock for mass production without any issue - distortion to paper, cardstock?

Are you still happy with your SC2?
@@ClownfishDepot Yes, it works perfectly as advertised.
@@Bobster986 Thank you. Is there a way to make it cut around certain shapes I make for stickers?
@@ClownfishDepot Yes and no. USCutter's does not support is as that, but the SC2 can do trace cutouts,, you just have to manually register the registration marks with the built in laser pointer. It isn't 100% perfect, but might be good enough for your use. I use it to cut clock faces and it seems to work fine for simply cutouts with a boarder.
@Bobster986 OK. Got it. I understand what you mean. Thanks again.

Cameo IS made by Graphtec. I can tell you don't have very much experience working with vinyl cutting. The CE series is very simple to use. It has the same settings as a Cameo. Just different menus.
Once Graphtecs are set up they are a doddle to use. I'm on my second one since 1991. Daily use since then. Tough as nails.
I think I made a mistake…does this work on Wi-Fi? Like the Cricut?
No. I think you have to purchase a wireless dongle to make it wireless. Most devices have a wireless usb dongle on the inside. Cameos have them. They live behind a door you can access with a screwdriver.
Looks great but it has too many buttons and UI looks confusing. I wish they could make on similar to Cameo software
I agree but when you get it working it is a beast. But you are right. It is not user friendly at all.
Does this cutter cuts heavy sequins party foil thick material
You get all the equipment 😩😩😩
I think I have almost every method. This one Is huge though. It’s fast and cuts directly from illustrator. Time to break out the vinyl again. 😁
Wow that thing is nice, thx for info!! Unfortunately it’s too pricey for me . Has anyone used a US Cutter as an in between with Graphtec and the cameo??
🙏
The rhinestone world uses the graphitec on th
Has anyone had an issue where it only cuts the first 3 inches from the right or where the rollers sit but not anywhere else especially the corners?
Hello A-Dubb, can this print a 4ft x 8ft photo
It can cut that but this is not a printer. It’s a cutter.
Only thing you did wrong was not set the roll width to 12" it was set to 24". I'm learning too. Forgot to mirror a few times
Yup. In the software right? That shrinks the area down to the correct size?
@@adubbproductions yeah in master cutter just above where you enter size of image is the bit you put your roll width and length, or if you are using a sheet and it's size

How big of roll of vinyl can you use?
24" roll
Thank you dirtbikeq. 24” wide by an infinite length.
💪🏾❤️
What should I press to cut the entire vinyl after the cutting is over? I don't think such an expensive machine should just use scissors. 18:58
Good point. I don’t think there is a built in cutter on the machine. The only thing you can do is put a border around the design to assist in weeding.
Yep, it’s scissors. Otherwise, you’d have to change the knife depth which is not something you’d want to do!
Did you have any issues of "bunching"? I hear the ce7000 have this issue. Have you had any problems because it only has two pinch rollers?
None at all. I haven’t had any issues.
@@adubbproductions thanks for the response. That's a relief because I am purchasing the ce7000 this week.
Love your channel.
No problem. Thank you. I appreciate it. 🙏🏾
Can cut printable vinyl images with this cutter?
Contour cut. Yes.
Does it work with windows 11?
I think it does but you should definitely check the system requirements in the description when buying it to make sure.
can this be wireless?
I’ve never tried it but I’m pretty sure you can make anything wireless with a dongle.

Hi I bought one and I don’t want it brand new will sale it yes it’s too difficult your right 😮if know anyone who wants it hit me up on
is anyone willing to do a facetime call to help me learn how to use this machine? I'm pulling my hair out.
No it wasn't simple.
I thought it was just me. I still find it easier to just use my cameo. Smh.
