The use of digital on-demand UV inkjet printing has increased the requirement for creating original customized goods in response to an increase in high-mix/low-volume demands in the market. As part of an overall workflow, the CFL-605RT cutting plotter provides a rapid-response solution for production of items such as short-run or custom original goods, samples and package prototyping.

Users can choose from several cutting heads that offer a range of tool holders to hold a variety of cutting, creasing and drawing tools, depending on the application. Swivel knife, tangential knife, reciprocating knife, creasing wheel and pen options are all available with a wide range of blade and creasing options.

The combination of a CFL-605RT cutting plotter, a UJF-6042 UV-LED tabletop flatbed printer and packaging design software such as ArtiosCAD* Designer Solution provides the ability to easily and economically produce package prototypes that accurately reflect the designer’s intent. With this system, designers and brand managers can achieve packaging design actualization in shorter timeframes.
*CFL-605RT cutter and UJF-6042 printer are sold separately through Mimaki authorized representatives; ArtiosCAD software is a product of Esko-Graphics available through Esko channels.

With a compact footprint of 52”x 41,” the CFL-605RT cutting plotter can fit unobtrusively into a design office or studio environment. Integrated casters means it can be moved where needed, and user-adjustable feet ensure stability once placed. A double-insulated vacuum unit operates quietly, on par with standard office equipment.
