The FCX2000 Series is the ultimate solution for package prototyping and short production runs of rigid materials without the use of a cutting die. 

With Graphtec’s medium to large flatbed cutting plotters, you have the right tool for contour cutting without requiring a die. Reduce media waste and processing time with included, dedicated software.

Users are empowered to create custom orders at low cost with short delivery times. Redesigned Y bar and cutting table deliver high precision cutting and creasing. New dedicated design software and plug-ins provide all of the tools necessary to create elegant, professional products.

Dual head design delivers 500G and 1000G of force at speeds up to 400mm/s. Process materials thick or thin including: Rubylith, Static Cling Film, Vinyl, Rubber Sandblast, Diamond Grade Reflective, Chipboard, E-flute and more. Three table sizes of 24 x 36”, 48 x 36” and 70 x 36” are available utilizing enhanced vacuum suction media hold down.

The Graphtec FCX2000 is a versatile, high-power flatbed for in-house package prototyping and specialized production. Finish jobs faster without switching tools with the dual tool holder for Graphtec blades, creasers, and pens. Unique to the FCX2000 is an adjustable tool head which allows extra room for thick substrates, and a roll media stocker for efficient processing of roll media.

The FCX2000 utilizes vacuum suction generated by an external vacuum pump to hold media securely in place during processing. This method is best suited for heavy / thick materials. The improved cutting table features reduced vacuum hole spacing that provides stronger, more consistent hold.

Graphtec’s renowned Advanced Registration Mark Sensing system swiftly reads registration marks printed from any printer to accurately contour cut and crease down to the smallest details. ARMS automatically compensates for media skew, print shrinking, and determines the optimal cutting order of objects. The sophisticated LED sensor also reads marks printed on challenging materials such as high-gloss, laminates, glitter, metallic, and high intensity reflective.

Features available: Reverse-Side Processing to cut and crease on the opposite side of media to protect graphics. Curved Crease Lines to add a new dimension to your packaging with curved crease lines with the optional PM-CT-002 tool. Expanded Print & Cut to print & cut material outside of registration marks for up to 30% higher yield.
