Long Description

1. Key Benefits & Value for Customers

The GR2 series is designed for businesses that demand both speed and versatility. By offering extremely fast cut speeds, strong cutting force, and reliable precision, these machines reduce production time and increase throughput — helping sign shops, print shops, vehicle wrap installers, and promotional graphics businesses deliver more, faster, without sacrificing quality.

Its integration into print‑then‑cut workflows means fewer manual adjustments, less waste (thanks to accurate crop‑mark detection), and consistent results across jobs. For companies expanding into new material types (reflective vinyl, sandblast masks, heavier laminates), the GR2 opens up new product opportunities.

Moreover, Roland’s reputation for reliability and good warranty support adds long‑term value. The total cost of ownership is competitive when factoring in productivity gains, reduced errors, and the durability of the toolset and parts.

2. Detailed Product Capabilities

Here are the technical strengths and capabilities that set GR2 apart:

  • Cutting performance: The GR2 can cut at speeds from 30 mm/s up to 1,530 mm/s. This wide range allows fast production for simple long cuts, and slower, more controlled cutting for detailed elements.
  • Blade force and material compatibility: It delivers up to 600 gf force, meaning it can handle tougher, thicker, and specialty media (sandblast mask, reflective or fluorescing films) without undercutting. The maximum material thickness (including backing) is 0.8 mm.
  • Precise resolution and repeatability: Mechanical resolution is 0.006 mm/step; software resolution is 0.025 mm/step. Distance accuracy is better than ±0.1 % of travelled distance or ±0.254 mm (whichever is greater). Repeatability is 0.1 mm or less.
  • Capacity and size: GR2‑640 supports media widths from 50 mm up to 1,782 mm; GR2‑540 up to 1,594 mm. Roll weight limits of ~24 kg and ~20 kg respectively. Maximum cutting lengths up to 50,000 mm.
  • Connectivity & workflow integration: Supports Ethernet, USB 2.0, and RS‑232C. Compatible with Roland’s CutStudio software, various plug‑ins for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, and works seamlessly with VersaWorks RIP in print‑then‑cut setups. Automatic crop‑mark detection via AAS II sensor.


3. Typical Applications & Industry Use

The GR2 Series is well-suited to a broad range of applications:

  • Signage & Outdoor Graphics: Banners, large graphics, reflective signs—where durability and material versatility matter.
  • Vehicle Graphics & Wraps: Large width, precision tracking and strong cutting force mean window films, vinyl wraps, paint protection films can be handled with accuracy.
  • Stickers / Decals / Labels: Especially for print‑then‑cut workflows. Crop‑mark detection helps in precise contour cutting even on complicated shapes, reducing waste.
  • Apparel / Heat Transfer Designs: Specialty heat transfer vinyls (glitter, flock, etc.) require both force and careful cutting. GR2 supports these materials.
  • POP / Retail Display / Promotional Products: Displays, point‑of‑purchase materials, window graphics, floor graphics. When speed and versatility are essential (fast turnaround).


4. Unique Selling Points (USPs)

What makes GR2 stand out:

  • AAS II automatic aligning / crop‑mark detection sensor: Improves alignment, reduces error in contour cutting—especially over long runs or large graphics.
  • Strong blade force (up to 600 gf): Many competitors have lower force, limiting them on thicker or specialty media. GR2 handles these well.
  • Wide media capability with large roll size & roll weight capacity: More material options and larger work sizes mean less frequent roll changes and more capability for large, complex jobs.
  • Software & plugin ecosystem: CutStudio, plug‑ins for Illustrator/Corel, compatibility with VersaWorks, and included accessories make the setup more turnkey.


5. Ease of Use, Maintenance & Integration


  • User‑friendly operation: Intuitive control panels, clear status lights, and included software tools that simplify setup (e.g. adding crop marks, job preparation, and weeding tools).
  • Maintenance: Blade changes are straightforward. Cleaning, firmware updates and driver updates are provided by Roland. Proper care of sensors and rollers ensures consistent feed and cut quality.
  • Integration into existing workflows: If you already have large‑format printers or a print‑then‑cut setup, GR2 plugs in well (both physically and software wise). It supports standard command languages (HP‑GL, HP‑GL/2), network connectivity, and compatibility with widely used design/RIP software.
  • Environment & operational considerations: Designed to work in standard workshop environments (15–30 °C, 25‑75 % relative humidity, no condensation). Packaging and footprint are large; ensure sufficient space, stable surface, and ambient conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can the GR2 series cut, and how thick can they be?

The GR2 series can cut a wide variety of materials — standard adhesive vinyl, reflective or fluorescent vinyl, sandblast mask, heat‑transfer vinyl (including glitter or flock), window tint, etc. The maximum thickness (including backing) is 0.8 mm. For very specialty or hard materials, success depends on proper blade, correct cutting settings (force, speed), and whether the backing is stiff enough to handle the cut.

How accurate is it in print‑then‑cut (contour cutting) jobs?

Very accurate: thanks to the Automatic Aligning System II (AAS II), the CAMM‑1 GR2 automatically detects crop marks (rows) and adjusts to ensure contour cutting aligns with the printed artwork. Distance accuracy is better than ±0.1 % of the distance travelled or ±0.254 mm (whichever is greater), and repeatability is within 0.1 mm. This helps reduce errors, waste, and improves consistency.

What is the difference between GR2‑540 and GR2‑640?

The main difference is in media width and roll handling. The GR2‑640 supports wider media (up to ~1,782 mm) and heavier roll weights than the GR2‑540 (max ~1,594 mm). Otherwise, most core performance specs — blade force, cutting speed, resolution, etc. — are essentially the same. If you frequently handle very wide graphics (e.g. wide banners, full vehicle width wraps), the 640 gives more headroom.

What software and workflows are supported?

The GR2 series comes with Roland’s CutStudio software, plus plug‑ins for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. It also integrates well with RIP software like VersaWorks. For print‑then‑cut workflows, crop‑mark detection via AAS II is supported. Connectivity includes Ethernet and USB. Manual, firmware, and driver updates are available from Roland’s support sites.

What are the operational and maintenance requirements?

Key maintenance tasks include replacing blades when they dull (especially after cutting abrasive or reflective materials), regularly cleaning and ensuring sensors (including AAS II) stay clean and free of obstructions, checking the pinch rollers for consistent tension and alignment, and keeping firmware/software up to date. Proper handling of media and backing ensures longer tool life. Also, operating environment should be kept within Roland‑recommended temperature and humidity ranges to avoid material warp or sensor errors.

How noisy is the machine and is it suitable for workshop or mixed‑use (customer visible) spaces?

During operation, the noise level is up to 56 dB(A), dropping to ~40 dB(A) in standby. While this is relatively moderate and acceptable for many workshop environments, in very quiet customer‑facing areas it might still be audible during heavy cutting jobs. Proper placement, sound dampening, or separating machine space from customer areas can help.

What are the power and space requirements?

The GR2 series operates on AC 100‑240 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is about 110 W. Dimensionally, the GR2‑640 is roughly 1,982 × 756 × 1,127 mm, weight ~69 kg; GR2‑540 is about 1,711 × 651 × 1,111 mm, weight ~60 kg. Also consider extra room for media feeding, stand, operation, maintenance access.

What warranty support is provided?

Roland DG provides a Three‑Year Trouble‑Free Warranty on the GR2 series (registration required in many regions). Support also includes firmware and driver updates, technical documentation, manuals, setting guides and troubleshooting resources. Dealers may offer extended service/maintenance contracts.

How does the GR2 compare to other cutters in its class?

Compared to many mid‑range or older large format cutters, the GR2 offers higher cutting force (600 gf), higher maximum speed (up to 1,530 mm/s), more advanced crop mark detection (AAS II), and larger media capacity. Many competitors may lag in one or more of those areas — particularly in force, width, or workflow software integration. If your jobs involve specialty materials, or large graphics, these features translate into more capability and less rework.

Is the GR2 a good investment for small to medium sign shops or startups?

It depends on your workload and growth ambitions. If you are doing many small jobs with simple vinyl, perhaps a smaller cutter would suffice. But if you plan to expand into vehicle wraps, reflective signage, large‑format display graphics, or want efficient print‑then‑cut workflows, the GR2 provides capability that allows you to take on more demanding work. The initial investment will be higher, but the potential to increase revenue, reduce waste, and improve turnaround time often makes it worthwhile. Be sure to plan for sufficient space, trained operators, and maintenance support to extract full value.
