Costa Mesa, CA – July 31, 2013 – Paradigm
Imaging Group, a leading distributor of large format solutions including
scanners, printers, cutting plotters, and multifunction systems,
announces the addition of the Graphtec FC8600 cutting plotter to
their product lineup. The newly designed FC8600 has added features
including an Enhanced Automatic Registration Mark System (ARMS) 5.0,
standard tri-port interface, productivity enhancements, and new
software.
The new ARMS 5.0 includes an enhanced auto-detect
algorithm for up to 30% faster mark detection, supports an expanded cut
area outside the registration mark boundary, and supports registration
mark sensing embedded within multiple copies. A tri-port interface is
now standard including USB, serial and an Ethernet port to ensure
connection compatibility for standalone or networked environments.
Productivity features have been added as well, including a new faster
perforation cutting method, and auto-paneling to improve the quality of
long-length jobs.
New Cutting Master 3 plug–in software for
Adobe® Illustrator® and CorelDraw® has been completely re-designed and
is also included. The plug in allows cutting conditions on the cutter to
be monitored and changed on the fly and also allows multiple cutters to
be run from one design station. Graphtec Studio; an all new and
easy-to-use design software, is also included for both Windows and Mac
platforms. The software is designed to lessen the learning curve and
allow customers to start producing jobs immediately.
Says Randy Geesman,
president of Paradigm Imaging Group, “The FC8600 surpassed our
expectations, as we experienced first-hand at the recent NBM Show in
Long Beach. We were lucky enough to have one of the first FC8600-130
cutting plotters in our booth, and we ran it continuously throughout the
three-day show. The Graphtec FC8600 complements our portfolio of
quality wide format solutions which we deliver with the highest level of
customer service and support.”
