With immediate effect, Graphtec GB has re-aligned pricing across the FCX Flatbed Cutting Series, with savings of up to £9,000 available on selected models.

In addition, the warranty on both the FCX2000 and FCX4000 Series has now been extended to three years, giving customers even greater long-term value and peace of mind.

The FCX Series is designed for applications requiring enhanced media control, cutting stability, and precision across more demanding substrates, making it ideal for:

• Packaging, prototyping & creasing
• Semi-rigid materials & card stock
• Precision die-cutting
• Reflective & laminated graphics
• Motocross graphics
• Labels, decals & specialist print finishing

With vacuum suction or electrostatic media hold-down systems, the FCX range delivers highly accurate cutting and creasing performance across a wide variety of materials.

We’re also inviting customers to arrange a live demonstration and sample testing session at the Graphtec showroom in Wrexham to see the FCX range in action and test their own materials.

For pricing, specifications, or to arrange a demonstration, contact our team or visit our website.

"I recently produced an oversized replica of the original HeroQuest Base Board using the Mimaki UJF-6042MKII e Flatbed Printer. This was run across two A2 wooden canvases, built it up with printable Primer, a raised Varnish texture, and then finished with White + full CMYK for enhanced depth and vibrancy.

I added a felt base, some hidden magnets and finished the board using water-based acrylic paints in an attempt to tie it all together and achieve a more 'premium’ result." 🧙‍♂️ ✨

In our latest Granthams GT project, we put the HP Latex 730 W Printer through its paces to produce stunning Day and Night graphics on Metamark MD-BL2 Backlit Film.

This 3-layer print method combines CMYK + White + CMYK in one pass, revealing two completely contrasting looks depending on whether or not the image is illuminated.

From artwork setup in Illustrator and ONYX Sandwich Mode, to the final lightbox fitting.
