Sometimes it’s the little things that drive you crazy. At the same time, there’s nothing like the application of a bit of common sense—and careful engineering—to provide an equally satisfying solution. Case in point, what to do with those continuous rolls of transfer material spooling off today’s high-volume direct-to-film (DTF) printers? Enter the M&R QUATRO Cutter X Direct-to-Film Transfer Film Cutter, a fully automated cutting system compatible with the company’s award-winning QUATRO DTF printer line designed to automate PET film cutting after the transfers are printed and cured, thereby supporting one-piece flow and just-in-time production. The QUATRO Cutter X uses a rotary wheel blade for cutting along the X-Axis of your PET film at a speed of up to 90 linear feet per hour. It also employs an optic reflective sensor for crop mark detection. A color touchscreen control panel allows users easy setup of cutting commands. The system can be used independently of a QUATRO DTF printer as a standalone system as well. For more information, go to mrprint.com.
