Description
The DLF-350L Dual Plotter Digital Label Finisher integrates unwinding, laminating, contour cutting, waste removal, slitting, and rewinding within a unified process. Designed for on-demand, short-run label finishing, the system incorporates two plotter cutters to optimize cutting efficiency. This feature not only enhances production speed but also offers cost-effective operation for businesses looking to manage diverse label finishing demands.
Features:
- Compact tabletop design for space savings
- 2X plotters for increased speed
- Cut from a digital file (no dies)
- 13 in (350 mm) media width
- Ideal for short runs & proofing
Dual Cutting Advantage
Incorporating two plotters, the Afinia DLF-350L Dual Plotter Digital Label Finisher focuses on efficiency. By dividing the task between the two plotters, movement is minimized, thereby optimizing the cutting process. In most cases, this leads to a speed increase of over 2x.
Versatile and Efficient Design
The DLF-350L is equipped to manage a variety of paper and plastic films, delivering precision cuts while ensuring minimal wastage, making it particularly advantageous for short to medium-sized runs.
Economic Benefits
This finisher operates on a digital workflow, removing the requirement for die plates, which translates to operational cost savings. Moreover, it offers the flexibility to modify the label’s shape, size, and quantity as per demand.
Software and Synchronization
The integrated software, paired with CCD cameras, fine-tunes cutting positions. The ease of importing a PDF cutting file further simplifies this process, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments and quick job changes.
Compatibility
The DLF-350L pairs perfectly with 13-inch (350mm) rolls from printers such as the Afinia X350. This compatibility ensures that labels printed on continuous material can be easily transitioned to finishing with the DLF-350L Dual.
Enhanced Production and Workflow
This model stands out in its ability to accelerate production without compromising on costs. Its state-of-the-art optical sensor is designed to prevent errors, and its user-friendly design promotes time and cost efficiency.
Simplified Processes
The DLF-350L Dual challenges traditional limitations, allowing users to control their label production, reduce wait times, and manage stock. With lamination options and efficient full-bleed label production, it encapsulates a holistic approach to label finishing.
Why Select the Double Plotter Finisher Instead of the Double-Head Systems
For diverse layout requirements, the dual plotter’s synchronized functionality offers a distinct advantage over double-head systems, ensuring that both plotters remain actively engaged, optimizing output. The double plotter finisher always guarantees a faster cutting speed even when:
- The Layout Contains Different Shapes
- The Layout Contains Different Sizes
- The Width of the Label Reaches the Maximum Media Width
For all the above scenarios, the two heads on the double plotter are always in action, while on the double-head system, one head must be disabled.
Each DLF system has advanced plotter-cutting technology. This allows you to cut different types of material and shapes on the fly, without the additional cost of dyes. They are also equipped with a cutter management tool/camera black-mark registration system. This provides cutting-speed optimization without synchronization issues.
Using the optical camera sensor along with the i-mark software, the DLF-350 series will locate a 2 or 4mm black registration mark created using design packages Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. Once the black mark has been detected, it will be matched with the cut line in your design package, allowing you to make a test cut before beginning the job. Adjustments to the cut position or cut depth are quick and easy using the simple controls in the i-mark software.
