INTEC COLORCUT FLATBED - DIGITAL CUTTING SOLUTION
The Intec ColorCut FB550 flatbed cutters are designed primarily to cut card and packaging
materials effectively. It is also used for cutting, vinyl, thin film, adhesive labels and magnetic
media.
There are also additional functions for die cutting sheet material, using perforated and
dashed cut features and the use of additional tools such as creasing which enables folding
on suitable card materials without the fib es on the boar d breaking when the material is
folded.
The ColorCut solution consists of 2 parts:
Hardware
An Intec Digital Cutting Engine
An Integrated Optical Sensor for automatic registration mark sensing
A Stand
A Vacuum Pump to provide suction for vacuum table.
An Optional Silencer/Acoustic Muffler to educe vacuum pump sound levels
A Vacuum connection hose
and
Software
The ColorCut Pr o cutter contr ol software contains two parts, (i) a pr ofessional
direct plug-in for Illustrator or Cor elDRAW enabling you to assign cut lines or paths
created from Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. (ii) a Production Studio application
that cuts your projects (either from within your graphics packge or as a seperate
application where jobs can be cut later using a job number or barcode).
Jobs can be cut without r egistration marks, however for accurate cutting your
files must contain four r eference marks, known as SMAR Tmarks (described later
in the ColorCut Pr o Software manual) which can be automatically applied within
tthe ColorCut plug-in.
The optical sensor integrated into your ColorCut hardware detects the SMARTmark
in a fraction of a second and adapts the cut path to any variations in the origin,
scale or skew distortion of the print.
The software runs with the operating systems Windows 7, 8, 10.
Please use this guide to set up your Hardware and refer to the Software / ColorCut manual
to assist you in final calibration of the softwa e to the cutter including guidance on how to
use ColoCut Pro when designing and cutting your files
