Which cutting plotter is actually the right one for me?
For service providers in the field of design and signmaking, it is very important to be well informed when purchasing new equipment. What really meets my needs? Is the investment worthwhile? Which cutting plotter is actually the right one for me? There are always a lot of questions about cutting plotters in particular. Here we have put together a quick guide for you with the most important models from the individual Secabo cutting plotter series. Give your customers an overview and help them to find the right model!
What models are available and what makes them different?
When buying a cutting plotter, we recommend that you pay particular attention to the functionality, working area and comfort of the device and adapt these factors to your individual needs. For example, a hobbyist will probably never be able to fully utilise a plotter with a cutting width of over 70 cm, while such a device is absolutely indispensable in the commercial sector, depending on the application. Other criteria that increase the ease of use include software scope, motor drive and a stand that is already included in the scope of delivery. Ultimately, however, everyone has to decide for themselves how much luxury they really need in a cutting plotter.
C IV series cutting plotters The cutting plotters in the CIV series from Secabo are perfect for all newcomers and for users who need an inexpensive additional plotter.
The cutting plotters in the CIV series from Secabo are perfect for all newcomers and for users who need an inexpensive additional plotter. These offer maximum reliability and precision at a fair entry-level price. When choosing the right plotter, the maximum cutting width is a decisive factor in addition to productivity aspects in terms of operation and menu navigation. The larger the sticker is to be, the larger the model of cutting plotter should be selected. For example, a 30cm model is usually sufficient for designing clothing, creating company signs and designing individual living spaces with wall and kitchen tattoos. The Secabo C30IV cutting plotter (33cm cutting width), for example, offers a good price-performance ratio. A larger cutting plotter is recommended for labelling vehicles, for example, or for designing banner and shop window advertising. Reliable models are the Secabo C60IV vinyl cutter (maximum cutting width: 63 cm) or the Secabo C120 IV vinyl cutter (maximum cutting width: 126 cm). With this cutting width of up to 126 cm, the Secabo C120 IV is also suitable for large jobs with high quantities. All common materials such as adhesive films, self-adhesive films, flock films, flex films, stencil films, paper and cardboard can be processed. The illuminated display and large control buttons make it easy and convenient to use, even for beginners. The integrated LAPOS technology ensures contour-accurate cuts, for example on printed films. The Secabo CIV cutting plotters are conveniently controlled using the Draw Cut LITE cutting software supplied. A sturdy stand with roller holder is optionally available for the Secabo C60IV; it is already included with the Secabo C120 IV.
C V series cutting plotters High cutting quality and precision make the Secabo C60 V and C120 IV cutting plotters reliable universal partners.
With the C V series from Secabo, the C120 IV has undergone consistent further development. Two models have been launched on the market: the powerful C120 IV and its little brother, the C60 V with a maximum cutting width of 63 cm. Just like its predecessor, the C120 V is also suitable for all common materials used in advertising technology and textile finishing. High cutting quality and precision make the Secabo C60 V and C120 IV cutting plotters reliable universal partners. With their stepper motor, they can process all common materials used in advertising technology. The plotters have a completely new, convenient menu and user interface and a unique design. They utilise the successful LAPOS contour cutting function and the Draw Cut LITE cutting software for Windows, which is included. A sturdy stand with roller holder is also included in the scope of delivery. Both models are also suitable for demanding users and professional signmakers.
S II series cutting plotters These S II series cutting plotters are designed for professional users who need extra performance.
For daily productive use, we recommend an S series vinyl cutter, i.e. a device with servo motors, which offer greater precision, faster cuts and a lower noise level. Cutting plotters with a cutting width of 63 cm - the Secabo S60 - and 126 cm - the Secabo S120 - are available. All common materials can be processed in cutting widths of up to 63 or 126 centimetres - from adhesive films, self-adhesive films and flex or flock films to stencil films, paper and cardboard. The newly designed menu navigation is based on Secabo's many years of experience and conveniently guides you through all work steps. The new, unique design of the cutting plotters integrates perfectly into any working environment. The LAPOS contour cutting technology and the multilingual Draw Cut LITE cutting software ensure optimum results. The supplied stand with roller holder offers additional convenience.
T II series cutting plotter The new Secabo T160 II cutting plotter with modern automatic functions is ideal for processing large plots and high quantities in professional quality.
The Secabo T II series cutting plotters combine the professional standards of the SII series with valuable automatic functions. To recognise register marks automatically, the T II models are equipped with the latest generation of the LAPOS Q multi-register mark recognition system. This works even faster and more precisely than the previous version. Stickers, labels and other media can be cut with contour accuracy, even in free forms and large plots. The plotters are suitable for all common media from adhesive films, self-adhesive films and flock films to flex or stencil films, paper and cardboard. Another plus is the automatic media recognition. This function detects the width of the inserted material and transmits it directly to the software. This means that the zero point for the next plotting job is already set. Depending on the model, maximum cutting widths of 63 to 160 centimetres are possible with the Secabo T II cutting plotters. They are controlled via the supplied DrawCut PRO cutting software for Windows: it controls the Print&Cut applications from LAPOS Q and reliably handles design and layout tasks. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy stand with roller holder and a practical collection basket. The T160 II model also features automatic media handling.
