De Roland VersaSTUDIO GS2-24 is een compacte 61 cm snijplotter die uitblinkt in precisie en gebruiksgemak. Ideaal voor het snijden van stickers, labels, textieltransfers en kleine signmakingtoepassingen — perfect voor creatieve studio’s, scholen en startende signmakers.
The Roland VersaSTUDIO GS2‑24 is a high‑performance desktop vinyl cutter combining speed, precision and power. Ideal for signage shops, garment decorators and businesses wanting in‑house cutting of vinyl, HTV, magnetic materials and more.
The VersaSTUDIO GS2‑24 offers a powerful inroad for businesses in signage, apparel decoration, labelling, and visual communication to bring more of their production in‑house. Instead of depending on outsourcing, you gain control over turnaround, costs, and quality. With its upgraded cutting force and speed over previous models, tasks that were slow or required more heavy‑duty machines can now be handled by this desktop unit.
Efficiency improves when you can use it across multiple job types — small decals, HTV designs for garments, indoor signage, window graphics, etc. That flexibility lets you broaden your offering, respond faster to client demands, and improve margins.
The GS2‑24 finds use in:
The GS2‑24 supports a broad range of materials: self‑adhesive vinyl, heat‑transfer vinyl (HTV), reflective vinyl, magnetic sheets, rubber sheet, window film or frosting, papers, cardboard, and other specialty materials. Because its cutting force reaches up to 500 gf, thicker or denser media can also be handled. That said, for very thick rigid materials or hard plastics (e.g. thick acrylics, metals), other machines designed for those materials may be more suitable. The thickness allowed will depend on blade type, material hardness, and proper force & speed settings.
Very precise. Thanks to its mechanical resolution of 0.0125 mm per step and software resolution of 0.025 mm per step, plus repeatability of about ±0.1 mm, the GS2‑24 can reproduce tight curves, fine shapes, small text and detailed logos with good accuracy. To get the best results, ensure the material is properly loaded, the blade is sharp, the design uses vector or high‑resolution graphics, and correct force/speed settings are used.
While the top speed is 850 mm/s (≈ 33.4 in/s), that is for simpler cuts. More complex designs, thicker materials or detailed shapes will require slower speeds to maintain accuracy. Users will often balance speed vs quality depending on job demands. For many standard vinyl jobs, high speeds can be used without sacrificing quality.
Yes. It supports crop‑mark detection, which allows cutting printed materials aligned properly. This is essential for print‑&‑cut applications where registration must be accurate. However, print quality, printer calibration, ink compatibility, and media stability will also impact final alignment and cut.
The cutter comes with Roland’s CutStudio software. It also integrates well with design tools like Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw via plug‑ins or compatibility options. For more advanced workflows, RIP software like VersaWorks (depending on your ecosystem) may be usable. Firmware/software updates from Roland ensure support for new materials or improved workflow features.
The machine requires a workspace of approx 860 × 319 × 235 mm (W × D × H) and weighs about 13.5 kg. Environmental operating range: ambient temperature between 5‑40 °C, humidity between 20‑80 % RH (non‑condensing). Power input is 100‑240 VAC (50/60 Hz) via AC adapter; power draw ~24 W. These modest requirements make it suitable even for small shops or home‑office setups.
Roland DG offers a three‑year “Trouble‑Free Warranty on the GS2‑24 in many regions (including US, Canada, Latin America) when product is registered. Additionally, spare parts, blades, accessories, and regional support are available through authorized dealers. Keeping up firmware/software will help ensure durability and compatibility.
Compared to the older GS‑24, the GS2‑24 offers approx 40 % more cutting force and 70 % more cutting speed, allowing it to handle tougher materials and complete jobs faster. Against similar desktop cutters, its combination of precision, broad material support, repeatability, and Roland’s reputation plus support make it a strong option. It may cost more, but delivers greater versatility and reliability.
Key consumables include blades, blade holders, perhaps cutting mats or strips (if using flat media), and replacement parts (rollers, sensors) over time. Material cost (vinyls, adhesives, HTV) often represents larger portion in many jobs. Power consumption is low, so electricity costs are limited. Efficient usage of material (nesting, layout) helps maximize value. Regular maintenance (blade sharpening/replacement, cleaning) reduces waste and downtime.
Absolutely it is suitable for small businesses. Because of its desktop form, moderate footprint and relatively simple operation (especially with software tools included), it’s a good choice for startups, hobbyists, and small‑to‑medium businesses. That said, if your volume is extremely high or you need to cut very large or rigid materials, then larger industrial units may be more appropriate. But the GS2‑24 hits a balance: it scales well from small jobs to larger ones without overwhelming overhead.
