Silhouette covers all of Europe including
Portugal - France - Italy - Finland - Netherlands - Belgium - Norway - Spain - Switzerland - GermanySeveral months ago you may remember I did a poll asking Silhouette School readers if they'd be interested in a larger cutter. The more than 10k responses were overwhelmingly in favor of a larger cutter that is both affordable and has the ability to run on Silhouette Studio.
I took the results of that feedback back to the executive team at Silhouette in May while at a meeting in Hawaii. My recommendation is:
- 18-24' Silhouette CAMEO 2 equivalent
- Larger cutter that 100% runs on Silhouette Studio
- Affordable price ($400-450-ish)
- Software allows existing Silhouette users to utilize all the designs they already have without having to learn a new software program
No news yet on if Silhouette America will finally make a larger Silhouette CAMEO - although I am hopeful we've made headway! If they do, it very likely won't be announced until May 2019 at the next Silhouette Summit and then released several months after that. That would be about three years after Silhouette released their most recent new cutting machine, the CAMEO 3 in 2016 (unless you count the Portrait 2). That's a long time to wait to upgrade for Silhouette users - especially those who run a Silhouette business - who've outgrown their Silhouette CAMEO 3s.
When the20' Graphtec CE-Litewas released earlier this year - I was hopeful it would be a logical option for Silhouette users who need a bigger cutter. Unfortunately, for various reasons including the $899 basic price tag being too much of a jump and the software not supported on MACs, I can't get behind the 20' Graphtec.
But you guys I've been looking...because I know a wider cutter is what many of you need to grow your businesses...NOW. A bigger machine would help with faster production, less wasted material (no more cutting down 15' and 20' rolls), and lets you expand your offerings (ie bigger signs). But I know it's super important to many of you that be able to design and work in Silhouette Studio so you don't need to take time away from your business to learn a new software.
GCC AR-24' Vinyl Cutting Machine
I finally landed on the24' GCC AR-24. It's a bigger vinyl cutter I can get behind. It's not perfect for Silhouette users, but I think it's such a good enough solution that I shelled out the $430 (plus $50 for the optional stand) myself for it. I ordered aGCC vinyl and stand bundle from Swing Design. They do haveseveral GCC AR-24 bundles to pick fromincluding both with and without the stand and 24” vinyl sheets to start.
The price is definitely more in line with what Silhouette CAMEO users looking to upgrade would be comfortable with (according to the survey results). And - you can do all of your designing in Silhouette Studio and then export as an SVG with Silhouette Business Edition.
That being said - you should be aware of a few things because it's about 80% perfect - not the 100% solution we're hoping to eventually get from Silhouette America.
The free software that comes with the GCC is called GreatCut. On Windows, it works as a plug in with various software programs including Inkscape (which is free), Adobe Illustrator, and Corel Draw. GreatCut allows you to import SVG files which means you can take advantage of all the personal and commercial use SVGs you already own.
It also means you can do all your designing in Silhouette Studio and with Business Edition export as an SVG. Simply open the SVG in the GCC software and only use that program to send to cut.
This solution works - out of the box - for Windows/PC users.
Silhouette 2 Software
Unfortunately, MAC users, like myself, need to find another solution because the GCC software, like most vinyl cutter design programs, isn't supported on MAC (without Adobe Illustrator).
Recording Studio Software For Mac
GCC Software for MAC Users
So...for MAC users the solution is to make theone time $59.99 purchase of the basic Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL).
This software can import SVGs as well and again with the ability to export as an SVG from Silhouette Studio Business Edition you can do everything but send to cut to the GCC from Silhouette Studio. Keep in mind you are limited to cutting 24' x 72' with this version. If you'd like to cut longer than 6' you'll need SCAL Pro which is $199 and at that point I think you lose A LOT of the appeal of the 24' GCC as a step up from the Silhouette CAMEO simply based on the all-in price.
GCC Investment for Silhouette Users
- GCC Cutter - $430 Bundle from Swing DesignorAmazon(orGCC AR-24 Bundle with optional stand +$50)
- Silhouette Studio Business Edition- About $60 fromSwing Design
MAC Users: $540
- GCC Cutter - $430 Bundle from Swing DesignorAmazon(orGCC AR-24 Bundle with optional stand +$50)
- Silhouette Studio Business Edition- About $60 fromSwing Design
Pros and Cons of the GCC for Silhouette Users
- Cuts ups to 24' (but can cut smaller materials)
- Affordably Priced 24' Cutter especially for PC Users
- Includes Plug-In Software for Window
- Can design in Silhouette Studio and do all but cut with GCC or SCAL software
- Minimum knowledge of new software needed; shortens learning time
- Software can import and Cut SVGs
GCC AR-24 Cons:
- Can not run on Silhouette Studio
- Can Not Cut .Studio files
- Silhouette Studio Business Edition is needed to export as SVG
- No MAC Software which increases investment for MAC users
- When used with SCAL basic can cut up to 6' long (24' wide)
- Very few educational resources available for GCC AR-24
Bottom Line
At this point, with Silhouette America having not announced if they will ever do a larger cutter, I think the GCC AR-24 is a good option for Silhouette CAMEO users who are in need of a larger machine to take their Silhouette business to the next level. The affordable price, the ability to complete about 90% of the process in Silhouette Studio, the use of SVGs, and the larger cutter area are what sell me on it.
