Shanghai-based Gunner High Performance Vinyl Cutters is making two new digital cutting systems available in the UK and EU through its exclusive distribution agent, David Coleman and Associates.

The first will be the roll-fed Gunner Model GR 8000-180, described as ‘ideal for use with products for the automotive aftermarket sector, and capable of processing window tinting, reflective sheeting, paint protective film, interior protection film, vehicle wrap, card paper, self-adhesive vinyl and sandblast resistant rubber.’

The GR 8000-180 has a vinyl cutter which is able to handle reflective sheeting, it boasts a maximum contour cutting width of 1630mm and a maximum mountable media width of 1780mm. Free from any static electricity, it has a reliable long-length tracking, can cut small text strings accurately and has compatibility with Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and AutoCAD.
