PRINT TRADE EXPO DEMO: INTEC STAND

You are invited to the Intec stand at Print Trade Expo to view the winning combination of a print production flat sheet cutter with an automation enabled label cutter.

The newly launched Intec SC5000 is a brand-new cutter that will deliver new print products

for frontline quick print pros. Visit: www.printtradeexpo.co.uk/detailed-stand-intec

Todays’ commercial printers have been hitherto limited to a choice when considering finishing labels and POS in-house with devices based around basic vinyl cutters. Yes, good for labels but not card. Larger footprint flatbed tables that can cut card can lack any real automation unless budgets, space and workflow justify the new breed of larger automated flatbeds. However, Intec’s SC5000 is set to change all that by introducing a best of both worlds cross over product.

Terri Winstanley, Intec product and marketing manager, told QPP that the SC5000, has been over two years in design and development and seeks to blend the advantages of multiple finishing devices into one simple, automated, small footprint device ideal for print service providers.

The on-stand demonstration showed uniquely cut card items labels POS point of sale counter display stands, swing tickets, wedding stationery and prototype or short run light packaging. Many quick print pros are looking to get stuck into sheet label production. Book your own demonstration to make your print products reach further. Intec has been supplying cutters since 2016. Originally under an OEM development called the CC500 which was based on Graphtec’s F-mark solution, however since 2017 Intec has been developing their own cutting technology and building up their R&D teams and even in-house software development specifically cutters for the QPP audience. At Fespa 2019 Intec launched one of the first automated flatbed cutters providing the first affordable automated flatbed systems in Europe – since then Intec has widened its range with a full suite of cutters some reaching their third generation of evolution.

The SC5000 combines features of vinyl or label-based cutters and incorporated technological advances that have been rewarded from Intec’s heavy investment in development of flatbed cutters. The result is a compact device with retractable exit trays and wheels that can be moved around a print shop and tucked away when not in use. Sorry, back to the demonstration, this SC5000 is an automated digital die-cutter with two different tool holders which can cut, and crease in one operation.

The automation doesn’t stop with the feeding system as this next generation finisher also includes registration sensors using CCD camera technology that doubles as a job recognition system automating the entire process. Of course you or your operator will still have to load the sheets (even mixed jobs) before kick-off, then come back when finished.

The Intec SC5000 employs a totally new style of feeding for this class using an articulating perforated rubber vacuum belt the width of the media. This ensures a much more reliable media pick up.

It is coupled with no fewer than four different media separation techniques to deliver outstanding feeding and reliability including: Air Blade at front to pre-separate sheets; vacuum pick up from top only; catch fingers to prevent multiple sheets lifting; and flex and jog sheets before advance to drop any clinging/attached media.

More innovation in the SC5000 digital cutter from Intec includes their new Vision3 CCD registration sensor, which detects registration marks to align the page which compensates for scale, skew or rotation print errors. The SC5000 scans each sheet as it loads and will automatically retrieve cutting files for true fully unattended operation.

Users can stack a mixed batch of jobs in the feeder and leave the cutter to work. The sheets will be automatically picked up, fed into the cutter, check the QR code, find the appropriate cutting file and cut the job before ejecting it and moving on to the next sheet.

Set a specific number of sheets or simply tell the cutter to keep going until the feeder is empty. For larger runs refill the feeder on the fly while you are printing the rest of the job.

Many thanks to Terri for the excellent demonstration and in recognition of the Intec product development we have bestowed a new PTE virtual Best in Show Award.
