Focus on Print & Cut
Print & cut is a process that involves printing a design and then cutting it out with a machine. A printer/ cutter can be used to print on self-adhesive vinyl and cut out shapes and outlines. Take a look at some of the options available in the market today.
The ideal entry level printers
There are several standout benefi ts of working with print & cut machines. Firstly, being able to print and cut on a single device removes the need to invest in two separate machines, which can help save money.
Running a single machine also helps save on fl oorspace, which is especially helpful for companies that do not have a lot of space to work with, while the fact that users do not need to move media between devices makes it less labour-intensive and easier to use. Quality Print Services offers several leading print and cut solutions from Roland DG. Among these machines is the TrueVis SG3 eco-solvent print & cut machine, which, available in 54in and 30in versions, make ideal entry level printers. Sister model, the TrueVis VG3, can be supplied in 54in and 64in versions and offers the same print resolution and cutting attributes as the SG3. However, while the SG3 only prints in CMYK, the VG3 can use eight colours, with CMYK plus light cyan, light magenta, light black, orange, green and white available in various confi guration options to suit individual requirements.
QPS also offers Roland DG UV print and cut solutions in the form of the TrueVis LG and TrueVis MG machines. The LG is available in 64in, 54in and 30in options, with the former two having a top print resolution of 1200dpi and the ability to print in eight colours (CMYK plus orange, red, white and gloss).
As for the MG, both the 64in and 30in models can hit a 1400dpi print quality in the same eight colours as the LG, but with the additional options of primer, decal release primer and shrink inks.
In addition, for those with the budget and space for two separate solutions, QPS stocks the TrueVis AP-640 resin printer, which, combined with a Roland GR2-640 plotter, provides a seamless print and cut workfl ow directly through the Roland VersaWorks RIP software.
