In the early  nineteen eighties Gerber Plotters, distributed by Spandex, [now owed by Gerber]  revolutionised the production of vinyl signs in the UK and although the machines were manufactured
in the US by the Gerber Corporation they were often called “Spandex” machines.

ALL the early models Gx4a, Gx4b, Sprint and Super Sprint were sprocket feed tangential cutters.

Many are still in use and despite their age, when used correctly, they are still capable of cutting with
an accuracy that many modern plotters cannot achieve.

[Modern plotters are often cheaper and faster but usually drag cutting and friction feed]

Second generation machines:- GS15, GS15+, HS15 and HS15+ are  similar to the above
but faster cutting and easier to drive from popular sign making software.

With the drag knife included in the accessory kit GS15+ and HS15+ can also be used in drag mode. [Faster cutting but less accurate than tangential  mode]

GSX and GSX+ are drag cutting ONLY

Envision models are sprocket feed drag cutters that cut faster than earlier models.

Odyssey models are fast drag cutters but unlike all the above machines these are friction feed with a media sensing system that eliminates many of the tracking errors usually associated with friction feed.

   FasTrack plotters are Mutoh SC Series with slightly different firmware - See-  Mutoh

Gerber P2C are manufactured in Belgium by Summa -  See-  Summa D

WE MANUFACTURE NUMEROUS BLADE TYPES FOR ALL THE ABOVE MACHINES.

Soon we will publish illustrations and prices.

Meanwhile please call or email so we can help you to identify the type you need.
