The Graphtec FC9000 Series is our most advanced and versatile roll-fed cutting plotter yet, delivering exceptional precision, performance, and reliability

Renowned worldwide for its dependable, high-precision cutting capabilities, the FC9000 Series effortlessly handles both printed and unprinted media. Designed to meet the demands of a wide range of industries, it provides an ideal finishing solution for applications such as wide-format signage, apparel, and automotive graphics.

Featuring a newly engineered media feeding system and cutting head, the FC9000 Series delivers even greater cutting accuracy and quality across a broad range of material thicknesses and types—from delicate window tint to heavy-duty, high-intensity reflective films.

Datalink Barcode System

Powered by ARMS 8.0, Graphtec's advanced Datalink Barcode System automates job loading and processing, allowing users to streamline production workflows, minimize manual intervention, and maximize overall efficiency and productivity.

Datalink Barcode System

Streamline your production workflow and reduce the risk of errors with Graphtec's DataLink Barcode System. By using barcode technology, the system automates job selection and processing, saving valuable time and simplifying the handling of multiple cutting tasks with just the press of a button.

DataLink offers flexible compatibility with a wide range of RIP software and printers, as well as Graphtec's bundled software, including Cutting Master and Graphtec Pro Studio.

The FC9000 Series automatically reads barcodes to identify the corresponding cutting data stored on a connected PC or USB flash drive. It then retrieves the appropriate file, applies the designated cutting conditions, and initiates the cutting process—all automatically for a seamless, efficient workflow.

Precision Cutting for Printed Media

Graphtec's Advanced Registration Mark Sensing (ARMS) Technology delivers exceptional cutting accuracy on printed media while offering advanced features designed to streamline production and maximize efficiency.

Easily Handles Reflective and Specialty Media

Equipped with a new white LED sensor and an improved registration mark detection algorithm, the FC9000 accurately detects registration marks printed from virtually any printer. It supports a wide variety of media types, including high-gloss, metallic, glitter, and high-intensity reflective materials, ensuring reliable and precise contour cutting across diverse applications.

No Flatbed?

No Problem!

The newly engineered media feeding system significantly enhances cutting performance across both thin and thick materials, providing greater versatility without the need for a flatbed cutter.

Additional push rollers can be installed to improve media stability and cutting precision when working with heavy or rigid materials, such as rubber and diamond-grade, high-intensity reflective films.

Three adjustable push roller pressure settings provide secure media hold-down while minimizing the risk of leaving unwanted track marks.

Contour & Die Cut with Ease

Dedicated tool positions for contour cutting and die cutting help extend the life of your blades and cutting strip. Easily produce decals, labels, and graphics on both sheet and roll media, with clean, precise cuts that allow finished designs to pop out effortlessly.

Powerful, User-Friendly Software

Every new Graphtec cutter includes your choice of Cutting Master 5, a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW (Graphics Suite only), or Graphtec Studio 2, Graphtec's intuitive software for designing and cutting graphics.

Both software solutions are compatible with Windows PC and Mac, with convenient connectivity options through USB or Ethernet.

At Graphtec, we make professional cutting simple. From advanced cutting technology to user-friendly software, everything is designed to make your workflow easier and more efficient.

Boost Production Efficiency with the Graphtec Automatic Take-Up System

Designed for the Graphtec FC9000-140 and FC9000-160 models, the optional Automatic Take-Up System enhances production efficiency by automatically winding finished media rolls using an integrated infrared sensor. This hands-free operation helps streamline workflows and reduce manual handling.

When paired with Graphtec’s DataLink Barcode System, the take-up system enables accurate tracking and processing of multiple jobs on a single roll of media, up to 65 feet in length. With the ability to automatically wind media in either direction, this system helps optimize cutting operations, minimize downtime, and maximize overall production efficiency.

Automatic Take-Up Reel

The optional Automatic Take-Up Reel enhances production efficiency by automatically winding media rolls up to 65 feet long, using an integrated infrared sensor for seamless, hands-free operation.

Compatible with the Graphtec FC9000-140 and FC9000-160 models.
