Graphtec FC9000 Series Vinyl Cutters
The Graphtec FC9000 Series Vinyl Cutters are the most advanced and versatile roll fed cutting platform Graphtec has ever produced. Engineered for production environments that demand consistent accuracy, high speed, and efficient workflow automation, the FC9000 Series is trusted across wide format signage, apparel decoration, vehicle graphics, industrial labeling, and specialty manufacturing.
Built with a newly developed feeding system, redesigned cutting head, and improved tracking mechanics, the FC9000 delivers superior cut quality on thin films and rigid materials alike. From window tint to rubber, magnet, and diamond-grade high intensity reflective, this series handles a wide range of substrates with reliable precision. Every model ships standard with a professional stand, media basket, and a flange kit that enhances roll handling and supports long uninterrupted production runs.
The FC9000 Series introduces ARMS 8.0, featuring a modern white LED sensor, upgraded detection algorithms, and highly accurate registration recognition across gloss, metallic, glitter, and reflective surfaces. Operators benefit from the DataLink Barcode System, which automates job recall, reduces setup time, and helps eliminate production errors. Jobs can be loaded automatically from a connected PC or directly from a USB flash drive using the onboard interface.
With dedicated tool positions for contour and die cutting, the FC9000 Series supports demanding decal, label, prototype, and print and cut applications while preserving blade and cutting strip longevity. For users needing extended production capacity, select FC9000 models are compatible with an optional take-up reel system designed to wind long runs automatically for unattended workflow.
With durable construction, exceptional accuracy, and advanced automation, the FC9000 Series stands as a premier finishing solution for professional wide format environments.

Datalink Barcode System
The DataLink Barcode System automates the print and cut workflow by linking printed barcodes to stored cutting data. The FC9000 automatically retrieves the correct file, applies the required cut settings, and begins processing with minimal operator input. The system works with all major RIP platforms and printers in addition to Graphtec Pro Studio and Cutting Master 4.
Unrivaled Print and Cut Accuracy
ARMS 8.0 incorporates a white LED sensor and optimized registration mark detection algorithms, allowing the FC9000 Series to read alignment marks on glossy, metallic, glitter, and reflective films with high precision. This ensures consistent print and cut alignment regardless of media type or printer brand.
Heavy Duty Cutting Performance
A redesigned feeding system and additional push roller options make the FC9000 suitable for cutting rigid materials without a flatbed. Three selectable pressure modes provide firm hold-down while minimizing track marks, making it ideal for magnet, rubber, and high intensity reflective substrates.
Contour and Die Cutting
The FC9000 Series features separate tool positions for contour cutting and die cutting, which reduces wear, improves accuracy, and enables clean pop-out graphics for decals, labels, and prototype work.
