Focus on Cutters
Two jobs with one machine HP
Having the ability to print and cut simultaneously is an effective way for printers to save time during production. Carrying out both tasks concurrently can free up machines – and indeed staff – for other projects, meaning you can take on more work and increase revenue streams. Therefore, HP is offering its Latex 64 Plus. The machine
allows users to cut their production time by up to 50% through printing and cutting on one device, significantly strengthening efficiency for users. Opting for an HP Latex Plus solution can help boost production further in that the machine uses instant-dry HP Latex inks. This allows users to cut and laminate as soon as the print comes out, opening up profitable services such as same-day delivery. Another stand-out feature on the Latex 64 Plus is HP’s Barcode and Optical Position System configuration. With this, users benefit from accurate job recognition and error-free cutting, which will further increase production efficiency. In addition, users of the solution have the opportunity to work with HP FlexiPRINT and CUT RIP, a solution for managing an entire print and cut workflow from a single point. Developed in partnership with SAi and Summa, the software automatically saves up to 50% more

media when printing and cutting from a single device. As to where print and cutting can help printing companies, these capabilities will support production across applications, including labels and stickers, floor graphics and wall decals in indoor spaces such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals or homes. On top of this, printing and cutting technology can help when creating window and vehicle graphics, as producing scratch- resistant prints lowers the risk of damage with finishing applications, which will in turn mean users can deliver higher quality work to customers.
