Guillotine, die and card cutters

The Cut-True 29A offers precision cutting for paper stacks up to 20.5 inches wide. A touchscreen control panel programs and selects job settings, an automatically adjusting back gauge sets the cut, and up to 100 jobs of 100 cuts can be stored. An infrared safety curtain shuts the machine down if the light plane is interrupted.

Load a stack up to 3.15 inches high, set the back gauge on the touchscreen, and the bright LED cutting line shows exactly where the hardened steel blade will fall. Electronically controlled two-hand operation makes the cut. Accuracy is 0.1 mm on stacks up to 80 mm. An anti-friction table surface and optional wide side tables make large stock easier to move, and the included false clamp protects sensitive stock and perfect-bound books; remove it to shorten the minimum cut.

The Cut-True 29H shares the 29A's 20.5-inch cut width, touchscreen, automatic back gauge, 100-job memory, infrared safety curtain, LED cutting line and two-hand operation. What it adds is hydraulic clamping: a foot pedal pre-clamps the stack so you can check the paper position, and clamp pressure adjusts to suit different paper weights and stack heights. An internal light illuminates the cutting area.

Safety features include a key lock, blade lock, external blade depth adjustment, automatic blade return from any position, a blade-change safety tool and a wooden paper push for alignment. It turns large sheets into brochures, invitations and more, and suits print shops and in-plant finishing departments.

The DDC50 creates custom packaging, advertising displays, kiss-cut labels and more on demand, with precision and easy setup. It is fully automatic: QR code recognition lets it process mixed jobs from a single stack, turning cut sheets up to 350 microns thick into virtually any shape.

It has a dual-action cutting and creasing head, a high-capacity vacuum belt feeder, a touchscreen control panel, Cut-True Pro Production Studio software and a freestanding PC workstation on a stand. Formax positions it as the standard for on-demand finishing in the mid-production market.

The FlashCard is an economical cutter for short runs of full-bleed business cards, postcards and photos. Its rugged, compact design cuts cards on demand at up to 144 business cards a minute. An LCD display runs five pre-programmed jobs for 8.5 × 11 to 8.5 × 14 sheets, or saves your own custom cuts. The friction-feed infeed holds up to 40 sheets at 200 gsm and takes stock up to 350 gsm (130 lb cover), coated or uncoated, laminated or card.

The self-sharpening blade is accurate to 0.1 mm, and a built-in register mark reader tightens accuracy further. The standard 3.5-inch cassette produces 10-up 2 × 3.5 business cards; optional cassettes make 5 × 7 cards, 4.25 × 8 postcards, 3.5 × 10 menu cards, gift tags, stationery and mailers. It suits print shops, small businesses and schools.

The FlashCard XL is the large-format version: the same rugged friction-feed design cutting full-bleed business cards, postcards and photos at up to 230 business cards a minute from 12 × 18 and 13 × 19 printed sheets. Choose one of six pre-set jobs or enter and save up to ten custom cuts on the LCD. The infeed holds forty 200 gsm sheets and takes stock to 350 gsm.

The self-sharpening blades hold 0.1 mm accuracy and a registration mark reader is built in. The standard cassette gives 24-up 2 × 3.5 business cards; optional cassettes make 5 × 7 cards, 3.5 × 5 postcards, 4 × 5 photos, 8.5 × 11 full-bleed brochures, 11 × 17 menus, gift tags and mailers. An optional cabinet with waste bin and casters suits higher volume.

The Atlas-TRIO15 finishes digital print in one pass: business cards, postcards, brochures, booklet covers and greeting cards. An upper-belt tri-suction feeder and a self-elevating feed table handle sheets up to 13 × 27.5 inches in weights from 120 to 350 gsm. The 4-inch touchscreen offers Preset mode for common formats, Manual mode to modify presets and Flex mode for full customization, and stores up to 150 custom jobs.

Speed depends on media and output: up to 250 business cards in under two minutes, and single-crease jobs up to 5,000 an hour. Standard features include double-feed detection, cut-mark registration, a side alignment guide, skew adjustment and two slitting guides; custom slitting guides are available.
