# Best large-format vinyl cutters and plotters Source: https://bladeandmat.com/best/best-large-format-vinyl-cutter Publisher: Blade & Mat. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://bladeandmat.com/how-we-pick Roll-fed plotters are what sign shops and decal sellers use once a 12 inch craft cutter becomes the bottleneck. They take vinyl straight off the roll, cut long runs and use pinch and grit rollers to keep the material tracking straight. Three things separate a good one from a bad one: tracking over long cuts, contour cutting with a sensor for printed stickers and transfers, and the software that drives it. Wider is not always better. A 24 or 28 inch machine fits on a bench, while a 53 inch plotter needs a stand and floor space. This guide compares each listing on cut width, cutting force, contour cutting, software and connection. Where the listing does not give a number, the table says Not stated. ## Picks ### 1. 28" USCutter Titan 3 Vinyl Cutter with Servo Motor & ARMS Contour Cutting Plus Design/Cut Software Max cut width: 28 in; Force: 750 g max; Contour cutting: ARMS laser-guided print and cut; Software: VinylMaster Cut (Windows only); Connectivity: Not stated A 28 inch servo-motor cutter with 750 g downforce, 37 in/sec speed and ARMS laser-guided contour cutting for stickers and printed transfers.
