New from Mimaki is the CF22-1225 flatbed cutting plotter that handles materials up to 1220 x 2440mm. It is intended to complement the Mimaki JFX200-2513, and with the addition of ArtiosCAD Designer Solution software, the two machines provide a print-and-cut workflow for creating custom packaging or prototypes.
“We have brought to bear our extensive knowledge of cutting solutions in the development of the new CF22-1225 cutting table,” said Ronald Van den Broek, general manager sales at Mimaki Europe. “Combined with the JFX200-2513 flatbed UV inkjet printer and ArtiosCAD, this offering is an ideal end-to-end solution for cutting and creasing coated cardboard, as well as reciprocating cutting of foam material used for packing.”
The latest version of the Mimaki RasterLink Rip software includes an ID Cut function to make printing and cutting easier and faster. In addition to registration marks, RasterLink6 plus software can include a barcode on the print. This barcode, read by the crop mark sensor on the CF22-1225, contains cutting and rotation information allowing the automation of the cutting process.
RasterLink6 plus software also includes the FineCut plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, allowing a convenient print preview. In addition, there is a variety of selectable cutting tools for materials such as acrylic, foam and rubber with a thickness of up to 55 mm.
The Mimaki CF22-1225 is expected to be available at the end of the year.
