# Best vinyl cutters for a small business Source: https://bladeandmat.com/best/best-vinyl-cutter-for-small-business Publisher: Blade & Mat. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://bladeandmat.com/how-we-pick Moving past a hobby cutter is about throughput. A small business cutter should feed vinyl from a roll, track straight over long runs and cut around printed stickers and transfers without you lining up every sheet. The key specs are cut width, contour cutting (camera or laser registration for print and cut), downforce and speed, and the software that drives it. Software is often the hidden limit: several plotters here ship with Windows-only programs, which matters if your shop runs on a Mac. Support counts too, since a stalled cutter means missed orders. This guide compares seven cutters from about $450 to $2,500 on cut width, contour cutting, force and speed, software and connectivity, using only what each Amazon listing states. Where a 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.
