The Graphtec FCX4000 Series Flat Bed Cutting Plotter is an affordable cutting solution for small to medium print on demand jobs and uses electrostatic technology to firmly hold media to the table.
The FCX4000 offers easy to use and intuitive operation with its new 3.7” LCD screen control panel and USB / Barcode functionality.
2 different table size are available. The effective cutting area of the 50ES model is expanded for supporting 2 sheets of A3+ size, and the 60ES model supports 4 sheets of A3+ size. The FCX4000 is more suitable in the use of post-processing of Print On Demand jobs than its bigger brother, the FCX2000.
