The final stage of the wide-format workflow—cutting—is often the bottleneck that erodes profit and increases turnaround times. For high-volume print service providers (PSPs) using continuous roll-to-roll production, a manual or semi-automated cutting process is no longer competitive.
The MF1700-XY Automatic Cutting System is the solution, transforming laminated or printed media into perfectly finished pieces with industrial speed and an unprecedented level of auto-correction precision. This machine is designed to integrate seamlessly into a complete production line, guaranteeing accuracy and high throughput on every job.

I. Automatic Correction: Eliminating Production Bottlenecks
The flagship feature of the MF1700-XY is its Automatic Horizontal and Vertical Correction capability. This is the difference between a good trimmer and a professional-grade production system.
Why Auto-Correction Matters
- Compensating for Media Drift: Even the best printers can experience slight media skew or drift over long print runs. Manual correction is slow and subject to error. The MF1700-XY automatically detects and compensates for these subtle shifts in real-time.
- Guaranteeing Squareness: The system's ability to maintain cutting accuracy within $pm 0.5mm$ is critical for products like wallpaper panels, vehicle wraps, and interlocking floor graphics, where every piece must align perfectly.
Automatic Bleed Mode
The inclusion of an Automatic Bleed Mode during cutting simplifies the pre-press process. It intelligently manages the final cut line relative to the printed crop marks, ensuring that all high-precision cutting requirements—especially those requiring a clean cut with no visible unprinted margin—are met without operator intervention.
II. Blade Durability & Cutting Technology
The MF1700-XY is built for relentless production schedules, relying on industrial-grade tooling designed for longevity and a superior cut finish.
1. Longitudinal (Vertical) Cutting
The system is equipped with 5 Tungsten Steel Blades for simultaneous cutting along the length of the material.
- Tungsten Steel: Known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance, these blades maintain a sharp edge much longer than standard steel, significantly reducing replacement frequency and maximizing uptime.
- High-Speed Efficiency: The ability to use five blades simultaneously means a single pass can cut and separate multiple rows of prints (e.g., three banner prints across a wide roll), dramatically accelerating throughput.
2. Horizontal (Cross) Cutting
The use of Self-Sharpening Circular Blades for the horizontal cut ensures a durable and precise finish.
- Always Sharp: The self-sharpening mechanism keeps the blade edge optimally conditioned, guaranteeing a clean, professional edge on the final piece, minimizing fraying or tearing even on challenging materials.
- Precision and Durability: This specialized blade technology is crucial for maintaining the ± 0.5mm accuracy across the entire width of the media.
III. Optimized Workflow for Industrial Throughput
The MF1700-XY is engineered to fit into a comprehensive digital finishing workflow, not just operate as a standalone unit.
A. Advanced Media Handling
The Swing-Type Air Shaft with Adjustable Tension provides the stability necessary for high-speed automated cutting. It ensures that the roll media is fed consistently and smoothly without slack or excessive pulling, which are common causes of misalignment in other systems.
B. Competitive Edge: Speed and Efficiency
By automatically compensating for skew and managing the cutting process at high speed, the MF1700-XY provides a significant competitive advantage:
- Reduced Waste: Precision cutting means fewer misaligned prints, leading to less material waste and lower job costs.
- Lower Labor Costs: The fully automated XY cutting and correction minimize the need for continuous operator supervision and manual trimming, freeing up skilled labor for other tasks.
- Faster Turnaround: The combination of high speed and instant precision allows PSPs to meet urgent deadlines with confidence, increasing customer satisfaction and profitability.
The MF1700-XY is not merely a cutter; it is a precision finishing line integrator designed to deliver the tight tolerances and speed that industrial print production demands.
