Compatible with both roll and sheet media.
Graphtec provides comprehensive maintenance and support for the CE1000-60, including:
The CE1000-60 supports a true tangential emulation mode. In standard drag knife cutters, the knife blade is always "dragging" through the material, which deforms small text or intricate shapes. The Graphtec CE1000-60 lifts and rotates the blade at corners, ensuring perfect, weed-friendly cuts on tiny letters (down to 3mm). Graphtec Ce1000-60

Many professional sign-making programs allow you to select a "Graphtec CE50" or "GP-GL" command mode to communicate with the if a direct driver is unavailable. Compatible with both roll and sheet media
The Teflon cutting strip directly beneath the blade path must be smooth. Deep grooves or gouges caused by incorrect blade depth will lead to skipped cuts and uneven tracking.
Graphtec offers a plugin called Cutting Master. Older versions of this plugin support the CE1000 series. If you can find a compatible legacy version of Illustrator or CorelDRAW, you can use Cutting Master to send vector paths straight to the plotter. 2.

The cutter is cutting rounded corners instead of sharp points.
The grit rollers are engineered to maintain a firm, even grip across the entire width of the media. This mechanical stability ensures accurate tracking over long distances, preventing the material from shifting or walking off alignment during complex, multi-meter cut jobs. The dual pinch-roller system can be adjusted manually to match the specific width of the loaded media, optimizing downforce without damaging delicate surfaces. Material Compatibility and Applications
The Graphtec CE1000-60 is a 24-inch (approximately 610 mm) cutting plotter manufactured by Graphtec Corporation, a leader in the field of industrial data acquisition and imaging instruments. This model serves as an evolution of the Craft ROBO and CE-Lite series, designed to meet the demands of professional users who require higher cutting speeds and increased downforce compared to consumer-grade machines. It is specifically engineered for short-run production of signage, vehicle graphics, apparel decoration (heat transfer vinyl), and prototype packaging.
