These superb, and unique, dual tool cutter/creasers are a hybrid blend of flatbed, sheet-fed, tangential and contour cutting technologies, designed to deliver the benefits of each technology in a compact, affordable and productive unit.
This fully-automatic addition to your studio or production line, can produce point of sale, packaging, and kiss-cut labels in absolutely any shape you wish, in a highly productive and totally versatile way – all from your own pre-designed and printed artwork!
Equipped with an amazing dual tool head that incorporates a premium flatbed style active TANGENTIAL creasing wheel, makes this device completely unique, enabling you to cut and crease paperboard up to 450 micron and handle a diverse range of media, including paper and synthetics in-between.
Couple all of this easily usable convenience and functionality with the QR code driven workflow for total unattended automation and you have an extremely powerful, flexible system at your disposal, capable of rapidly processing up to 1,000 sheets, even with multiple mixed jobs in the same stack!
Targeted for busy print departments, seeking an affordable, high-capacity device for complete unattended cutting production, the SC7000 Pro-T combines ultra-reliable feeding with an instant job retrieval system and flawless high-speed cutting and creasing. This compact free-standing device is conveniently mobile and will be easily accommodated in any print shop.

The SC7000 Pro-T model has been designed to provide unattended operation with particular attention paid to the feeding system to ensure class-leading performance for card, vinyl labels or even tricky laminated sheets. The auto feeder accepts up to 1,000 sheets, which automatically raises and lowers as required.
To prevent sheets curling (as a result of a constant air flow to the sides), the machines use an automatic air blade that fires a blast of air momentarily into the front of the stack just as the advanced vacuum feed belt lowers to collect the top sheet. To further provide a reliable feed, the vacuum feed belt lifts the media carrying any sheets not pre-separated by the air blade past a pair of dexterous separation fingers which dislodges them. Finally, before advancing the sheet into the cutting engine, the vacuum feed belt ‘jogs’ briefly against the rear paper stop, creating a natural curve that helps ensure even difficult media feeds faultlessly.
The digital dual tool head includes passive contour/drag cut, with active tangential creasing wheels and applies force, individually,
for both the cutting and creasing tools.
This combination of tools provides a much wider media handling capability and more defined, smoother crease for thick card up to 450 micron. The individual tool actions are controlled via the included ColorCut Pro 5 Production Studio software. In common with the entire ColorCut family, the tools can be set to apply exact amounts of pressure and speed, along with total control over the application of cut, crease, perforation or kiss-cut of vector artwork lines drawn in Adobe® Illustrator® or CorelDRAW®.
Tangential technology enables the SC7000 Pro-T models to lift the tool up from the media, rotate it and lower it back onto the media. Suitable for creasing wheels to enable more defined, smoother precise creases – particularly good for thicker media.
The new 7” immersive touch screen with extensive Info-Control system includes a live camera preview window delivering visual feedback of QR code and smart registration marks scanning.
Plus, feature rich options that provide an advanced level of control over the auto-feeder’s functionality. Useful for certain media that may require special handling or simply to optimise throughput of your chosen media. The 7 inch immersive touch screen control panel can pivot to suit the angle desired by the operator.
A space-saving media catch tray slides away when not in use and the maneuverable stand ensures it is easily accommodated into any working environment.
The SC7000 Pro-T and XL models are built on the foundation of our next generation of Ai based ColorCut Pro software delivering new features, functionality, control and automation, redefining how automated cutters can be used, easily, simply and autonomously by providing 2 modes users can employ for cutting files.
In DIRECT mode: ColorCut Pro offers unparalleled flexibility and control over cutting and production from the connected PC. When creating jobs, the ColorCut Pro Client plugin applies an auto-assigned QR code to each design, whilst auto-saving the cutting file (editable) to the ColorCut Pro Job Library.
In HELD mode: ColorCut Pro stores your job parameters, wrapping all the required settings into a custom held mode cut file, that can be transferred to a storage device on the cutter. This enables standalone operation, without the need for the main PC and can be cut at a later date by any operator.
The cutter checks the QR code on each sheet, retrieves the associated cut fi le and proceeds to cut and crease as required – even if the sheet is presented at 180°, reducing operator errors.
The ColorCut software seriously enhances productivity. Supplied complete with pre-installed Windows© PC and ColorCut Pro software suite, with a flat screen monitor, mouse and keyboard. Also includes software user licence for 2 additional seats.
