United Kingdom – Known for its innovative digital die-cutting solutions, Intec Printing Solutions Limited, releases the ColorCut FB580 Digital Die Flatbed Cutter/Creaser.

Intec are excited to announce a NEW B3+ format digital die cutting flatbed - the ColorCut FB580.

This incredibly compact dual tool head flatbed table supports cutting and creasing in one operation, boasting impressive tool pressures of up to 1.2kg for both creasing and cutting tools and comes complete with powerful vacuum system and high-speed performance. With our combined industry leading ColorCut Pro software, the FB580 brings many advanced features to aid design and production.

Powerful and accurate, the FB580 enables a broad range of products to be created, from sample and prototype packaging and protective cartons, to synthetic point-of-sale items and kiss-cut adhesive labels/stickers. A wide range of materials can be cut including folding box board, SBS, SBB and sheet card paper, rice paper, synthetics and polymers, sheet labels and vinyl’s and more in weights up to 600 microns, with a max media area of 440 x 580mm.

Terri Winstanley, marketing manager, “Intec brings this very affordable, highly specified digital flatbed cutter into our ColorCut range, targeted at organisations requiring professional die cutting for on demand or light production work and prototyping. Its compact footprint and new operating system ensure that it can be placed in any environment, for anyone to use. And with the FB580 being our entry level flatbed table, we are conscious of customers whose business grows and therefore require easy equipment upgrade paths. So, when you purchase a ColorCut cutter it allows for upgrades through the ColorCut model line, with all jobs being fully interchangeable between all the cutters.”

Using a new high-powered controller and expanded graphics interface, available via the 7-inch touch screen and through its simple and intuitive ColorCut Pro 5 software, the FB580 enables you to work directly with provided plugins for Adobe® Illustrator® or CorelDRAW®.

All Intec cutters offer instant job processing when reading a QR code and page marks printed on a sheet. However, this is no longer necessary with a fantastic new feature now included on the FB580; reverse side cutting. The cutter processes printed jobs, from the rear of the sheet, where there are no QR codes or page marks printed by reading the sheet edges, producing accurate cutting and creasing every time and expanding the range of media able to be finished.

Our new 'no wires' working environment allows the cutter to be operated independent of a PC, for frequently repeated jobs, loaded on a USB stick, making the device even more flexible and convenient for all - no skilled operators required!

The FB580 is a highly specified, yet incredibly affordable entry level digital flatbed.
