Advanced Registration Mark Sensing
Graphtec’s Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system helps align contour-cut paths with printed graphics. The cutter reads registration marks, compensates for media positioning and helps produce accurate print-and-cut results.
This feature is valuable for shops producing:
- Printed PPF graphics
- Custom tint graphics
- Contour-cut wrap graphics
- Automotive decals
- Stickers and labels
- Printed promotional graphics
Data Link Barcode Production
The Data Link Barcode system allows the CE8000 to identify cutting data connected to a printed barcode. The cutter can retrieve the corresponding job from a connected computer or USB flash drive, apply the assigned cutting settings and begin production.
This can reduce manual file selection and improve efficiency when processing multiple print-and-cut jobs.
