These devices combine printing technology, typically inkjet, with precision cutting capabilities. A user designs an image or pattern on a computer, which is then printed onto a special material. Subsequently, the integrated cutter follows the pre-defined outline, producing stickers, labels, decals, iron-on transfers, and other custom shapes.
Combining printing and cutting streamlines the production of customized items, eliminating the need for manual cutting and significantly reducing production time. This integrated approach offers greater accuracy and intricacy compared to manual methods, enabling complex designs and precise contours. From small businesses creating personalized promotional materials to large-scale operations producing packaging and signage, this technology has become indispensable for diverse applications.
