Cutting printed materials never fails to pose a challenge for the user. Be it in terms of print quality, the precision of the cut or keeping the print clean at the cut edge. We can ensure perfect precision thanks to our optical recognition system which is why we are focussing on the quality of the cut edge in this test.
Aims:
- Smoke-free cut edges, especially on white printed surfaces
- No damage to the print at the cut edge
- Crystal-clear polished cut edges without post-processing
Test set-up:
- Material: 3 mm acrylic sheet
- Printer: Canon Océ Arizona flatbed printer
- Ink: IJC 258
- Laser system: eurolaser M-800
- CO2 Laser power: 200 W
eurolaser tested the suitability for laser cutting of printed material with the following Canon inks:
Ink IJC 258 on acrylic
Suitability for laser cutting: suitable

We were able to achieve all our aims in our test. The cut edge shows no smoke residue meaning that the white back remains faultless. The laser cut causes no kind of damage to the applied ink. This means the print remains excellent right up to the cut edge.

In this test, we want to prove that digital printing is also suitable for industrial production and the printed films can be cut well by laser. Without the limitations of the five or six colours used in screen printing, digital printing systems such as the Océ Arizona provide for a range of colour combinations. Our test achieved excellent cut edges.
The fast drying process of the ink in conjunction with the heat development at the cut edge due to the laser process led neither to the ink peeling nor to blistering. Using the IJC 256 ink in the digital printing of membrane keyboards in conjunction with eurolaser cutting technology significantly increases your flexibility. You will achieve perfect results and produce even short runs or prototypes economically.
Canon Deutschland GmbH and eurolaser have been working together for quite some time now and have now extended this cooperation. The Print & Cut connection is, due to the workflow, a decisive success factor for the manufacturing enterprises. Thanks to the exchange of experience between Canon and eurolaser, the experts in both companies can extend their expertise in a targeted way and always offer customers the perfect overall solution.
