Cutting
Streamline your print-to-cut workflow
Manage cutting operations with Caldera
Digital cutting is a process in which computer-controlled cutting devices are used to precisely cut printed materials, such as paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, or other substrates. It is a key component of the digital printing workflow, enabling the production of intricately shaped or custom-cut designs.
Digital cutting comes with several advantages— greater design flexibility, faster setup times, reduced production costs, and the ability to create custom designs.
