MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Allowing for
imagePROGRAF large-format printer users to expand their product
offerings, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a
leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the
addition of Graphtec Cutters with Colorbyte software. When combined
with an imagePROGRAF large-format printer, these products become an
affordable, easy-to-use large-format contour and cut system built
to help fine art and printing professionals strengthen their
business and product portfolio.
"The Graphtec Cutter with Colorbyte Software would be a great
addition to any print shop because it is easy to use and makes
die-cutting a simple process," said Liz
Campo, East Bay Printing & Copying. "For small print
shops, this solution is ideal as it streamlines productivity and
expands business offerings through its ability to cut and produce
high-quality prints with ease and efficiency."
The synergy between these products provides customers the
ability to create a finished product through a seamless workflow
that starts with an intuitive, creative, custom layout software.
After pairing with an imagePROGRAF series large-format device,
users simply place the print into the cutter where it will
automatically cut. This combination of products will help a large
variety of large-format professionals open up the possibilities to
generate new types of merchandise.
Photography, print-for-pay and education are just a few of the
many markets that can benefit from adding contour cutting to their
existing large-format printing business. For photographers, this
solution can help expand their product portfolios by offering them
the ability to create a wide variety of customized photography
packages, as well as the option to add automated photo finishing so
that almost no job, big or small, is too hard to fulfill. This
solution can also allow print-for-pay establishments to add a new
revenue stream that can customize posters, envelopes, invitations,
thank you cards, and more. Additionally, educators will be able to
create visual aids for the classroom students, as well as stickers,
ornaments, and various prizes and rewards students could proudly
display. The Graphtec Cutter with Colorbyte Software can also be
used as an important fundraising tool to help promote the
institutions brand, creating school spirit with the creation of
products used for the branding of sports and school activities.
"We are excited to support our customers by providing an
opportunity to bundle Canon's successful line of high-quality
large-format imagePROGRAF solutions with two innovative third-party
companies, Graphtec and Colorbyte Software," said Shinichi Yoshida executive vice president and
general manager, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "This solution provides large-format professionals with a
system that allows them to fulfill a variety of printing needs,
potentially building their business portfolios and support business
growth.
With two Graphtec Cutters sizes available to choose from, a
24-inch table top model and a 48-inch model with stand, users can
pick the one that suits their printing environment. The 24-inch
model offers those in smaller working spaces the flexibility to add
a low-cost, compact solution, while the 48-inch model provides
