Perfect sheet alignment is achieved via crop mark reading for each individual sheet, with a camera equipped with F-Mark technology performing the crop mark adjustments in a fraction of a second. Software algorithms compensate for any distortion from the printing process to enable precise cutting with minimal bleed. There is also an option to cut perforated lines during file creation.

In addition to kiss cutting the Graphtec F-Mark 2 is excellent for die cutting cards, making it an excellent option for customers looking to produce items such as business cards and packaging.

The cutting parameters set by the software allows the use of crop marks as small as four millimetres, enabling maximisation of the sheet size and minimal material wastage. Depending on the material being processed and the complexity of the image outline, the average cutting speed is 30-40 seconds for each sheet.

The F-Mark is run through custom F-Mark software that accepts Illustrator and CorelDraw files.

Design
Print & Cut files can be produced in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.

The F-Mark 2 is provided with an Ai template leaving the designer with the task of simply dropping in the artwork and cut lines onto the template.

Print
Once the artwork has been produced it is then printed and, if desired, laminated.

The feeder tray for the F-Mark 2 can hold approximately 200 sheets at a time, though it can be topped up as it cuts and will keep feeding sheets through the cutter until there is nothing left to pick up.

Cut
The printed sheets are then placed into the F-Mark’s feeder tray and the cut specifications are set in the F-Mark’s dedicated driver software.

The machine operator instructs the F-Mark to start cutting and the machine will automatically process the sheets freeing up the operator’s time to work on other jobs.

The F-Mark can cut around printed images from the back of the sheet ensuring that the print is left undamaged by the score/fold lines.

Dedicated software controls the auto sheet feeding system and transfers contour cutting data to the plotter.

The system includes dedicated application software. After media is loaded, the attached camera quickly detects 2-point reference marks and corrects alignment before contour cutting data is transferred, giving you the perfect cut every time. The software configures cutting conditions such as the number of copies, cutting force, cutting speed, offset, and a number of paths, and it can import Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW EPS files as the contour data.
