Provided tools suitable for many applications
The FCX4000 series has 2 tool holder in the carriage.
Using 2 different kind of tool allows to do a different job
without exchanging a tool at the same time. it can increase work efficiency.
Offline operation supported by use of USB flash memory

Data management using bar-code function with USB flash memory
In Print & Cut operation, the cutting data is automatically selected from USB flash memory by scanning the barcode printed on the media then performs contour cutting. This prevents the usage of incorrect data, and improves work efficiency.
- The USB flash memory format only supports FAT32.
Please note that NTFS and exFAT are not supported.
Reverse side Cutting/Creasing using ARMS
Cutting and creasing of printed graphics is possible even on the reverse side of the media. This prevents any scratches or damage to the printed graphic.
On the FCX4000 Series, operation is simple using Cutting Master 5 or Graphtec Studio 2.
Creasing tool
Added to the current creasing tool, new creasing tool PM-CT-002 is now available.
This new tool reduces peeling and cracking on the printed surface during the creasing/scoring process compared to our existing tools.
And also it allows to crease curved line.
Software
You can easily create and cut high quality designs with the standard included software.
