ColorCut SC6000 is a freestanding, ‘on-demand’ digital sheet cutter and creaser, with no physical cutting dies or time-consuming set-up costs. The unit is targeted at busy print businesses seeking an affordable, high-capacity device, capable of completely unattended cutting production.
John Brailsford Printers has become the first UK print business to install a Morgana ColorCut SC6000 digital die-cutting and creasing machine. Morgana Systems Ltd, Milton Keynes, a Plockmatic International post-press product business, debuted the product earlier this year at the Hunkeler Innovation Days.
The compact, free-standing device is conveniently mobile, and can be easily accommodated in any print shop. It is ideal for the production of labels, stickers, display materials, short run packaging work, and other ‘any shape’ cut-out jobs.
John Brailsford Printers, the Rotherham shop-fronted business, had reviewed a number of potential products in the cutting and creasing sector, but nothing quite fitted the bill. Commenting on this sector of the market, John Brailsford, company owner, said, ‘We had looked at a variety of potential solutions, but nothing was quite suited to our needs. Either they were too expensive, were overly complex, or they still needed dies to be produced. We thought we were just going to have to stick to outsourcing any work that required die-cutting.’
‘We could see that digital die-cutting was definitely the way to go, then we had a call from Ray Hillhouse of Morgana. We have a long history of working both with Hillhouse and with Morgana. He knows us well, and he knew exactly what we needed, and the SC6000 was introduced to us.’
