*2: The center push rollers have 3 pressure settings, the end push rollers have two pressure settings.

 

The series includes cutting widths of 61 cm (24 in.) to 162 cm (64 in.).




 

Copy with ARMS
 

It supports the copying of the cutting data including the ARMS control command for making multiple copies of the   downloaded data. This allows multiple copies to be created without a PC,  significantly improving work efficiency. The media can be also   separated by each row with the cross cutter when the cross cut function is enabled. It provides high-productivity and high precision print &  cut.

 




Built-in network interface


The USB 2.0 (Full Speed), RS-232C and   Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) are built in as standard. Multiple   interfaces enable various connections such as a single PC to single   plotter and multiple PCs to multiple plotters. The Ethernet connection   also allows sharing of the cutter over a network.




Perforation Cutting


Perforation cutting is performed by   controlling the cutting force instead of blade up/down movements,   increasing throughput. This is perfect for cutting separation lines for tearing out labels, fold lines for POP signs, and others.




Two tools configuration for Cutting & Plotting (Option)
 

It holds both a pen for plotting and a blade  for perforated cutting. The tool is automatically switched for cutting  and plotting as needed.




 

Auto sensitivity adjust


The sensitivity of the registration mark   sensor is automatically set by measuring the reflective level of the   mark and the background of the actual media. The mark can be detected   when the colour of the mark has a reasonable contrast against the   background. For example, a white mark can also be detected on a coloured  background.




Improved application software


Including improved design application   software (Graphtec Studio) and plug-in software for Illustrator and   CorelDRAW (Cutting Master 3)

Graphtec Studio


This is an easy-to-use application software for   creating original designs. Images can be easily created by using the   program icons that are arranged around the drawing area. It has enhanced  features such as auto-shapes, shading, and editing functions. It can   also configure the cutting conditions and other functions on the   Plotter.

Main Features:

• Creating designs using auto-shape, various line types, and others

• Editing the characters using rotate, mirror, fit-to-shape, and outline

• Auto-trace (bmp, tif, jpg, etc. image format)

• Supports the connection and switching of multiple Plotters

< Supported OS (*) > Windows 8/ 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.8
