4. 31″ Vinyl Express R-Series Cutter & Stand
What a machine! Powerful 500 grams of downforce so you can tackle a variety of jobs. Fast 24 inches-per-second cutting speed. Superior build quality offers tension-adjustable pinch rollers and a smooth-feeding media supply system.
Best of all, the R-Series Value Cutter is a Vinyl Express® cutter, arguably one of the most prestige based cutter lines in the world. If it says Vinyl Express®, you can be sure your cutter purchase will offer more value than any other brand in its class. Value like Technical Support. Value like a Knowledgeable Staff for Pre and Post sales questions. In fact the whole SignWarehouse company is standing behind you.
Many cutters wish they could wear the name Vinyl Express® but few earn that right. The R-Series has earned that right. So if you are looking for a value cutter, the R-Series Value Cutter is the one for you.
Superior Build Quality
Instead of injection-molded plastic stands and platens that other cutters use, R-Series is built from quality metal parts. That’s critical not only for the life of the equipment, but more importantly, for cutting accuracy.
When vinyl moves at cutter speed, the cutter’s rigidity is essential to tracking accuracy. With R-Series, you’ll get superior quality in equipment AND cutting.
Advanced Cutter Control Panel
Great cutters have one thing in common: Intuitive controls. R-Series is no exception. Its large digital display is easy to read and has plain English descriptions instead of cryptic abbreviations. And the on-plotter controls are extensive and easy to use and understand.
With R-Series, getting at all its great features is a snap, which means you’ll be more productive every time you cut.
Tension-Adjustable Pinchrollers
To cut costs, some cutters use vacuum hold-downs instead of a center pinchroller. But vacuum systems don’t improve tracking and can even diminish tracking by interfering with the smooth travel of the media. (Critical to tracking accuracy.)
That’s why R-Series has 3 tension-adjustable pinchrollers. Reduce tension for thin materials or increase it for thick materials. It’s easy and delivers superb tracking accuracy on a wide range of sign and vehicle graphic films.
Smooth-Feeding Media Supply
The media supply rollers are just one of the ways you can see the quality difference between the R-Series and other cutters offered on eBay. More importantly, they smoothly supply your media for tracking that is more accurate than other cutters, by far.
USB and Serial Connectivity
With its on-board USB port you won’t need adapters or other workarounds to connect your Vinyl Express R Series cutter to current-generation desktop and laptop PCs. USB connection is accomplished through serial conversion.
Accessories
Every R-Series vinyl cutter comes with: Power, USB and Serial Cables, Blade Holder, 3 Blades, Pen Holder and Pen, Complete Drivers and Documentation CD, Spare Fuse and a Cutter Dust Cover!

Who is the typical R-Series Value Cutter customer?
There are several good reasons why someone chooses to purchase a R-Series Value Cutter, the number one reason is that you are just starting out in business, with limited funds and just want to get conserve your cash, get started and see if it all works out. The second most common reason is that your business just needs vinyl letters from time to time and to save money, you want to cut them yourself. And then you want a vinyl cutter for personal reasons and last but not least, you simply don’t have the funds to purchase a Pro model at this time. If the above reasons sound like your reasons, then the R-Series Value Cutter is right for you. Now if if you are planning or needing to cut vinyl on a regular basis or all the time, then we would recomend that you look at our Q-Series. Oh, and one other reason you might look at a R-Series is that, they are also perfect for a backup cutter if you have a lot of overflow work or if your main cutter is in for servicing.
