Graphtec FC9000 Series is our most advanced and versatile roll-fed cutting plotter to date

With its renowned reputation worldwide for dependable, high-precision cutting capabilities on both printed and unprinted materials, the FC Series serves as the ultimate finishing solution for a wide range of industries, including wide-format signage, apparel, and automotive applications.

The FC9000 Series features a newly developed feeding system and cutting head, resulting in even better cutting quality for thin and thick materials, ranging from delicate window tint to high-intensity reflective materials.

Datalink Barcode System

The ARMS 8.0 Graphtec's Datalink Barcode System, can streamlines job loading and processing automatically, further enhancing the FC Series' efficiency and productivity.

Datalink Barcode

By utilizing barcodes, you can save time and minimize the risk of production errors when handling numerous tasks with just a button press.

DataLink can accommodate any blend of RIP software and printer, along with the bundled software of Cutting Master and Graphtec Pro Studio.

The FC9000 can identify cutting data linked to barcodes from the user's PC or USB flash memory, access the appropriate file, adjust the cutting settings, and initiate the cutting process automatically.

Cut Accuracy with Printed Media

Graphtec’s Advanced Registration Mark Sensing (ARMS) technology delivers precise results when cutting printed media in addition to efficiency boosting features.

Easily Accommodates Reflective Media

The new white LED sensor and improved search algorithm accurately read registration marks printed from any printer onto a large variety of media types including high gloss, metallic, glitter, and high intensity reflective.

No Flatbed?

No Problem!

A re-engineered feeding system has greatly enhanced the cutting capabilities of thin and thick media types.

Add additional push rollers for increased precision when cutting heavy, rigid materials such as rubber, and diamond-grade high intensity reflective.

Three pressure settings ensure strong media hold-down without leaving track marks.

Contour & Die Cut with Ease

Separate tool positions for contour and die cutting ensures the longevity of your blades and cutting strip when creating decals and graphics that are effortlessly popped out of sheet and roll media.

Software

All new Graphtec cutters includes Cutting Master 5 plug-in for Adobe or CorelDRAW (Graphic Suite Only) or our popular Graphtec Studio 2 software for design & cutting graphics.

Our software works with both PC and MAC and can be installed through cable Ethernet or USB drive.

Boost Your Production Efficiency with Graphtec Take-Up System

Available for the Graphtec FC9000-140 and FC9000-160 Models, the optional auto take-up reel system for the FC9000 cutter boosts production efficiency by automatically winding rolls of media using the equipped infrared sensor.

The DataLink Bar Code feature works with the take-up system to allow precision tracking of multiple jobs per roll up to 65 ft of media. Media may be automatically wound in either direction to significantly improve cutting efficiency.
