The world standard in digital �nishing

i-cut Vision Pro

i-cut Vision Pro is a fully integrated hardware

and software solution that turns your digital

cutting table into a true, short-run production

system. This powerful solution provides

unmatched productivity by intelligently fi nishing

your graphics with the highest accuracy and

effi ciency. i-cut Vision Pro includes a camera

system that individually adjusts your cut fi les

to perfectly match your printed graphics. With

industry leading vision registration, powerful

dynamic routing, an intuitive user interface and

true production workfl ow, i-cut Vision Pro is

the world standard in fi nishing.

Small Format Dimensional Displays

Don’t be intimidated by complex 3-D applications. Layers in your design application transfer seamlessly into i-cut Vision Pro, allowing

you to combine multiple cutting operations, such as cutting, creasing and scoring into a single production.

Placement registration guarantees precise fi nishing according to your complete

design, ensuring all folds, tabs and slots work together properly. Your entire design is

rotated and positioned to achieve the best possible registration for every copy.

Greatly enhance your productivity by fi nishing multiple copies on your table in a single

production. i-cut Vision Pro makes your digital fi nishing system even more productive by

reading the registration marks for all copies

on the table before starting production,

eliminating lag time and unnecessary

movements between copies.

Each dialog in i-cut Vision Pro contains a link to the help content that best

describes its features, making it extremely fast and easy to learn exactly

how features work, and how to use them properly. Help pages include

interactive animations and videos that clearly illustrate key features and

concepts.

Specialty Applications

Production of on-demand applications depends on the variable cutting workfl ow available only in i-cut Vision Pro. Examples of such

applications include photo gifts, business cards, wall graphics, custom automobile graphics and decorative decals for electronic

devices. Our workfl ow can even be used to fully automate your production from sheets or rolls.

Quickly prepare second-surface and other specialty jobs using i-cut Vision

Pro’s familiar editing tools. Mirror, move, scale and rotate graphics.

Perform last minute edits to your fi les using our advanced editing

features. Merge overlapping curves, split and join lines, draw simple

paths and shapes, add gaps to your cut paths and more.

Eliminate fi le mismatch and job management issues using

barcodes. Use your i-cut camera or a handheld barcode

scanner to load the correct fi le every time. Using barcodes

in conjunction with Cutting Keys fully automates your production.

Digital Finishing

Finishing is the process that converts printed graphics into complete, sellable products. As the demand for visually compelling

graphics increases, your customers expect faster delivery and greater fl exibility than ever before. An i-cut powered digital

fi nishing system eliminates your bottlenecks and increases the variety and value of your products. It also optimizes your

production by easily fi nishing nested graphics that cannot be produced using manual methods.

i-cut, Inc. has been focused on cut-to-print workfl ows since the early days of digital printing.

Our i-script workfl ow is built into every prominent fl atbed RIP available, and our ai-cut

and i-cutCDR plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are used by thousands of

professionals worldwide. i-cut Vision Pro is also compatible with the most popular

design, layout and CAD applications, importing popular fi le formats such as PDF,

DXF, AI and CUT.

The applications in this brochure highlight the key features of i-cut Vision

Pro. These and many other great features are used across a wide range of

applications, including: banners, membrane switches, panel overlays, traffi c signs, printed textiles, exhibition displays and

graphics, automobile wraps, magnets, backlit signage, fl oor graphics, outdoor signage and much, much more. For more

Large Format Point-of-Purchase Displays

Unleash the creativity of your customers and designers. By greatly expanding your fi nishing capabilities, you can offer

impactful Point-of-Purchase products that set you and your customers apart from the competition.

i-cut Vision Pro’s powerful Register Curve mode provides precise registration of individual, uncompensated curves. It’s like

having a separate die for each graphic on your sheet, registered independently for every copy.

Take the complexity and guesswork out of

digital fi nishing by virtually eliminating

the setup process using Cutting

Keys. i-cut Vision Pro recommends

machine settings and tools for

dozens of standard and specialty

substrates. All cutting parameters, including feed rate, acceleration, number of

passes and more are confi gured automatically to produce high quality fi nishing

results that maximize the productivity of your digital fi nishing system.

Ease of use has been a primary focal point of i-cut Vision Pro since it was

launched in 1998. Production Presets allow you to save and instantly recall

your common production settings, including number of copies, registration

type, regmark searching and more. When combined with Cutting Keys,

Production Presets allow you to start producing fi nished products with just a

few mouse clicks.

Large Format Rigid Signs

Large format signs printed on rigid substrates probably account for the

majority of your UV fl atbed printer workload. Your i-cut powered digital

fi nishing system allows you to fi nish a wide range of substrates from

simple rectangular signs to complex contours and lettering.

i-cut Vision Pro even allows you to use multiple registration types

in a single production. Accurately compensate for extreme distortion

around the border of your graphic while maintaining precise positioning

of your mounting holes simply by assigning a unique registration type to

each layer of your fi le.

Our dynamic approach to

routing preparation protects

the integrity of your original

artwork. It allows you to easily

adjust for different tools or substrates

without creating unnecessary curves or

altering your original cut paths. i-cut Vision

Pro’s robust routing feature set includes

Tool Offset, Lead-in/Lead-out, Multi-passing,

Washout and Drill Holes.

Preview your tool paths before starting production to verify the

selected tool will achieve your desired level of detail. Clearly see issues

with overlapping paths or tightly nested graphics. You can also preview

and adjust start points and curve directions.

Vinyl Graphics

i-cut Vision Pro is ideally suited to accurately fi nish highly distorted screen printed vinyl graphics. Produce

perfectly registered screen or digitally printed OEM decals, fl eet graphics and labels profi tably without dies in

quantities ranging from one to thousands.

Full Compensation corrects for even the most diffi cult non-linear distortions

by adjusting each point of your cut path independently. Extreme distortions

commonly found in fl exible substrates, fi lms, laminated graphics and textiles are

compensated and fi nished in perfect registration.

i-cut Vision Pro automatically optimizes your cut paths for maximum

productivity. Converting your original artwork into smooth, accurate lines and

arcs allows your digital fi nishing system to process that artwork more effi ciently,

maintaining higher speed and acceleration through complex curves.

Some jobs, such as large vinyl graphics and

banners, are simply too big to fi t on your table.

i-cut Vision Pro allows you to fi nish jobs of

unlimited length using your table’s conveyor

system to advance the work, section by

section.

Printed Packaging

Produce short runs of printed packaging for promotions, test marketing,

prototyping and more. Automate your process to fi nish hundreds or even

thousands of copies with minimal supervision.

Systems equipped with automated sheet feeders and stackers reduce the labor required to load and unload

between copies, while increasing productivity. i-cut Vision Pro controls your sheet feeder and conveyor

intelligently, ensuring sheets are fed promptly, and miss-loaded sheets do not halt production.

Produce printed and unprinted

jobs without registration marks

accurately by reading the

edges of the sheet, allowing

backside cutting and creasing.

Cut and Crease at multiple depths with

absolute precision in a single production. By

assigning separate depths to each layer you

can easily produce high-quality partial cuts,

through cuts and creases of varying depths.
