What this page is

This is a small Buythis content block titled "Business Cutters". Buythis is AM.CO.ZA's online shop. The block sits at the top of the business vinyl cutter section of the shop (buythis.co.za/business-vinyl-cutters) and has no text of its own: it is a heading, a link to vinyl cutter videos on the AchievementMatters YouTube channel, and a row of buttons to the other vinyl cutting sections.

The buttons on the block are:

• Cutters: buythis.co.za/cheap-vinyl-cutters, the basic and entry-level vinyl cutters (see Basic Vinyl cutters).
• Contour Cutters: buythis.co.za/contour-vinyl-cutters, cutters with an optical eye or camera that cut around printed artwork (see Semi-Automatic Vinyl cutters).
• Blades: buythis.co.za/vinyl-blades, replacement cutting blades (see Blades Vinyl cutters).
• Accessories: buythis.co.za/vinyl-cutter-accessories, tools and add-ons for vinyl work (see Accessories Vinyl cutters).
• Spare Parts: buythis.co.za/vinyl-cutter-parts, replacement parts for the cutters (see Spare Parts Vinyl cutters).
• Training: VinylCut training videos on softwaretraining.co.za (see VinylCut).
• Vinyl Cutting Videos: a vinyl cutter search on the AchievementMatters YouTube channel.

What makes a cutter a business cutter

Every cutter in this section does fully automatic contour cutting. That means the cutter reads the registration marks printed around a sticker or label job with a laser eye or camera, finds the artwork by itself and cuts around it, so the operator does not have to line up each mark by hand. This is what a sign, print or apparel business needs when it prints and cuts stickers, decals, labels and heat transfer designs every day. Most of the range is also wider than the entry-level cutters (up to 1800 mm), so it can handle full rolls of sign vinyl for vehicle graphics, shop fronts and banners. Many models come with a stand and a collection basket that catches the vinyl as it feeds out on long jobs.

Business cutter ranges on Buythis

Three AM.CO.ZA cutter families are listed in this section. Current prices and full specifications are on each product page.

Vinyl4 Business

The top level of the Vinyl4 range, with full-automatic contour cutting, segmentation for long jobs and a collection basket (see Vinyl4 Vinyl Cutters Range).

V-Smart Plus and V-Smart with stand

V-Smart Plus is a V-Smart cutter with a laser eye for fully automatic contour cutting, with an aluminium alloy chassis and stand. The product introduction video is Introducing V-Smart Plus, a V-Smart Vinyl Cutter with Laser Eye for Fully Automatic Contour Cutting.

V-Auto

The fastest AM.CO.ZA range, with a wireless connection and automatic contour cutting, from a 400 mm desktop model with a CCD camera up to 1800 mm on a steel stand (see V-Auto and FastCOLOUR V-Auto vinyl cutter).

How the SKU codes work

• The first part names the range: V4-B is Vinyl4 Business, V3 is V-Smart or V-Smart Plus, and V6 is V-Auto.
• The number gives the working width in millimetres, so 1350 or 1360 is about 1.3 m and 1800 is 1.8 m.
• The last digit shows the bundled software: ending in 0 means no design software is bundled, 3 or 4 means SAi FlexiSIGN AutoMark, and 7 means AM.CO.ZA's own VinylCut software.
• A trailing B means a collection basket (and stand) is included.

A FlexiSTARTER activation code (AC-FLEXI) is also sold separately and supports all AM.CO.ZA vinyl cutters.

Setup and how-to videos

These cutters are DIY products: the owner assembles and installs them with the included guide and the step-by-step videos linked on each product page, or pays a technician call-out fee to have it done. Remote assistance with setup and software is available, and the warranty terms are on each product page. Videos named on the product pages include:

• Vinyl4 Business Fully Automatic Contour Cutting with VinylCut Software Installation Steps
• Vinyl4 Business Vinyl Cutter Stand Assemble, Collection Basket Installation Process
• Vinyl Cutting and Contour Cutting on Vinyl4 Vinyl Cutters by VinylCut Software
• Calibrate and Adjust Contour Cutting Offset in VinylCut Software for Perfect Contour Alignment
• Difference Between Normal and Contour Cutting, Automatic and Manual (Semi-Automatic) Contour Cutting
• Contour Cutting on Automatic and Semi-/ Alignment with USB Cable and Flash Drive Files by VinylCut

Choosing a business cutter

1. Width. 720 to 900 mm suits decals, labels and T-shirt transfers. 1350 to 1800 mm suits vehicle graphics, shop signage and wide sign vinyl rolls.
2. Speed. V-Auto models are the fastest and connect wirelessly, which suits busy print shops. Vinyl4 Business and V-Smart Plus give automatic contour cutting at a lower entry point.
3. Software. Choose VinylCut (ending in 7) for AM.CO.ZA's own easy design and cut software with free training videos, or FlexiSIGN AutoMark (ending in 3 or 4) for shops already using SAi software.
4. Print and cut. For sticker production, pair the cutter with an eco-solvent or UV printer, or buy a print-and-cut combo such as COMBO-PNC/ECO or COMBO-PNC/UV. For labels printed on an office printer in sheets, see Label Cutters.
