1. Built-in ARMS function

The built-in registration mark sensor furthermore simplifies contour cutting of printed materials.When combined with the Cutting Master 2 software provided as a standard accessory, the ARMS function can be utilized to its maximum potential.

（Note） It may not be able to read when contrast between background and registration mark are low or high lustrous media is used.

(Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system)



A simple creasing function to create fold lines for clean folding on micro-flute and cardboard has been enabled.

Guidelines for selecting single-line, double-line, or triple-line creasing

• Single-line creasingMaterials of a thickness of up to 0.1 mm

• Double-line creasingCardboard of a thickness of approximately 0.1to 0.5 mm

• Triple-line creasingCorrugated cardboard of a thickness of approximately 0.3 to 0.5 mm (rigid cardboard)

Line spacing

2. Simple creasing function

Point 1:Up to three fold lines can be selected.

If two or three fold lines have been selected, the spacing between the lines can be also specified.

Repeated creasing operations also can be specified for each of the lines.

Creasing start point also can be specified.

Point 2:In consideration of the characteristics of corrugated card board (F and G flutes),the creasing force and the cutting force can be specified independently in both theX and Y directions. This prevents surface damage caused by an excessive force.



The FC4500 series plotters feature reverse-side cutting and creasing functions to prevent traces of the creasing operation from appearing on the printed surface.(A plain and simple operation is provided when the Cutting Master 2 is used.)

3. Advanced reverse-side cutting/creasing

1: The media is loaded on the FC4500 with face up condition.2: The data for registration mark and cutting/creasing is sent from the Cutting Master 2.3: FC4500 cuts out the registration mark in order to be able to read it from the reverse side.4: The media is flipped over and is loaded on the FC4500. It is face down condition.5: FC4500 starts reading the registration mark and then it makes creasing/cutting the media

from the reverse side.
