Microcut® X-12PLUS

Bring new life to paper cutters

Technology moves quickly. The first thing to become obsolete on a paper cutter is the computer. The microcut® allows you to completely replace your computer to automate jobs, increase productivity and bring new life to an older paper cutter. Our Microcut X-12PLUS is our top of the line unit featuring a 12” wide touch screen.

We designed the Microcut X-12PLUS to be the most powerful and advanced retrofit system available in the industry, offering a large 12” color touch screen display and automatic cutter programming with Microcip our advanced CIP®/JDF converting software. The Microcut X-12PLUS is designed to fit on any size cutter.

The X-12PLUS quickly and efficiently moves the backguage into correct position more accurately than skilled manual operation. A full 12” color touch screen display guides the operator with all operations presented in an intuitive, easyto-understand format. Set up is fast and simple, with no complicated codes to memorize. The system frees the operator from the wasted time and risk of error associated with repetitive data entry.

Its ability to automatically program a job while cutting the first lift turns setup time into production time, making automation effective for even two and three lift jobs. The entry and review of programs is quick and easy.

Fractions, corrections, additions, or deletions can be easily entered through the keyboard. Non volatile memory insures data is never lost.

Many paper cutters already have some form of automatic backgauge control, but may have become difficult and expensive, if not impossible, to maintain. These machines are generally sound mechanically and, with the addition of Microcut X-12PLUS, can quickly and easily be returned to a high level of productivity and reliability for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.

"We are able to transfer data from the cut files in prepress. This is a really nice added benefit for our more complex jobs, and something we could not do with the other paper cutters we were considering."
Kirk Larsen, Graphic Partners
