Quality

PUMA3-60 vs. CE6000-60 (12pt~46pt)→good quality

PUMA3-60 vs.CE6000-60 (image 1M)→PUMA3 cutting faster

PUMA3-60 vs.CE6000-60 (circle)→good quality

PUMA3-60 vs.CE6000-60 (square)→PUMA3 good quality and cutting faster.

PUMA3-60 vs.CE6000-60 (reg. mark)→PUMA3 provides accurate cutting capability and fast cutting speed.

Cutting quality of both is acceptable. (It is faster that CE6000-60 scan Reg. mark.)

Mechanic Operation

CE6000-60 is user friendly to equip with the FAST button on the control panel.

The words on CE6000-60 LCM screen are clearer.

CE6000-60 can be set eight sets of parameters; PUMA3 can be set eight sets of four parameters

Conclusion：：：：

It’s more complicating that overall flow of Registration Mark in CE6000-60. The flow of Registration Mark in GCC cutting plotter is more user-friendly.

There’s no Multiple copies function with CE6000-60 in CorelDraw. We need to generate 4 point in CorelDraw and set Matrix Copies in Cutting master 3.

And then set space in Copy. That is more steps and more complicated.

The process is similar to set Registration with Illustrator

Graphtec Studio is an AP to edit the image, plot, output to cut and with gallery database, and Cutting Master is an auxiliary plug-in to edit Reg. Mark quickly

and output simply. From a practical point of view, the function of GreatCut 3 is between Graphtec Studio and Cutting Master.
