Description
The flagship Graphtec FC9000 is their most advanced, versatile roll-fed cutting plotter to date. Revered around the world for its dependable, high-precision cutting capabilities with both printed and unprinted materials, the FC Series Graphtec vinyl cutter is the ultimate finishing solution for the wide-format signage, apparel, and automotive industries. A newly developed feeding system and cutting head have further improved cutting quality of thin and thick materials ranging from delicate window tint to rigid magnet and high intensity reflective. ARMS 8.0 features the introduction of Graphtec’s Datalink barcode generation system which efficiently loads and processes your jobs automatically.
New FC 9000 features:
- Flange kit (media handling system) is included with the FC9000, which was optional for the FC8600.
- New USB Datalink where you can run the FC9000 from a USB thumb drive.
- New grit roller configuration for longer tracking.
- New stand and basket configuration.
- New 8.0 ARMS for print and cut.
- New barcode feature for print and cut.
- New optional take-up reel for the FC9000-140 and 160 (see attached video)
DATALINK BARCODE
Save time and reduce the chance of production errors by using barcodes to automatically process multiple jobs at the touch of a button. DataLink supports any combination of RIP software & printer in addition to included Cutting Master 4 and Graphtec Pro Studio software. The FC9000 detects barcode-linked cutting data from the operator's PC or USB flash memory, opens the correct file, sets the cutting conditions, and starts cutting automatically.
