Versatile cutting plotters on cutting edge: CG-75FXII,130FXII,160FXII
Monday 31. March 2008 - MIMAKI ENGINEERIN CO., LTD. (the head office / Nagano, Japan, President / Akira Ikeda) today announced new professional cutting plotters:CG-75FXII/130FXII/160FXII.
MIMAKI has offered cutting plotters with high precision and high performance for sign industry since 1987 and has been widely recognized as the industry’s most reliable manufacture of cutting plotters. In 2004, Mimaki introduced the innovative CG-FX series which enables precise contour cutting of printed matters with the epoch-making continuous crop mark detection. Now usage of cutting plotters is expanding to making various kinds of stickers and seals as well as sign graphics.
The CG-FXII series, succession models to CG-FX series, renewed the design and has a new function of “Over-cut function” which makes the starting point and the ending point overlap to eliminate uncut portion of the thick or sticky media. FineCut, the standard plug-in cutting software, is also enhanced: the new “Cutting preview function” can check start position, cutting lines, cutting direction and cutting order before stating to cut, which ensures proper cutting. If necessary, the conditions can be changed as well.
“With the JV33 series, solvent inkjet printers introduced last year, CG-FXII series will develop new usage of cutters for small-lot on-demand production for stickers, etc.” said Mr. Masafumi Okabe, General Manager of Plotter Division.
Main features of CG-FXII series
Precise contour cutting by continuous crop mark detection and Half Cut function
By detecting crop marks on the printed matter, complex contour cut of shapes can be made making individual adjustments automatically. With the original Half-Cut function, the backing sheet can be cut leaving a little bit of half cut connecting points, which can be easily detached when necessary. A light pointer enables to make position adjustment of crop mark easily.
Media-feeding function to ensure long accurate tracking
When cutting long sign, the media-feeding function pulls out the length of media to be cut beforehand, which removes the tension of media feeding. As a result a highly accurate long cutting without influence of tension is realized.
Over-cut function to eliminate uncut portion
Over-cut function makes the starting position and the ending position overlapped, which eliminates uncut portion of the thick or sticky media.
Plug-in cutting software FinCut 7 included
FineCut 7, plug-in software applicable for CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator CS3, draws out 100% the cutting-edge functions of CG-FXII series to respond high-level cutting needs such as contour cutting, creating cutting data from image data, divisional cutting of large-sized sign and overlapping space with tiling function.
Convenient functions for effective cutting
· Having selectable clamp pressure with high and low setting, slipping of long media is prevented with high pressure and with low pressure damages to media by grid rollers are averted.
· Selectable three jog speeds ensure proper and easy positioning of the head to the point.
· Up to 6 roll media can be set at a time (1 set standard)
· Special adaptor to use commercially available pens, auto sheet cutter, USB interface are included.
