Intec ColorCut SC5000 Digital Die Cutting Machine

High-Speed Digital Die Cutting for Modern Print Finishing

If you’re looking for a faster, smarter way to finish printed products, the Intec ColorCut SC5000 Digital Die Cutting Machine is built for the job. Designed for busy print rooms and commercial print businesses, the SC5000 delivers fast, accurate digital die cutting without the need for expensive physical dies or lengthy setup times.

Whether you’re producing packaging prototypes, point-of-sale (POS) materials, greetings cards, lightweight carton packaging, sheet labels or personalised print, the SC5000 provides an automated solution that helps reduce labour, improve productivity and deliver professional results every time.

With high-capacity automated feeding, intelligent job recognition and precision cutting technology, it’s the perfect addition to any modern print finishing department.

Digital Die Cutting Without the Cost of Traditional Tooling

Traditional die cutting can be slow, expensive and inflexible, particularly when producing short runs or personalised jobs.

The Intec ColorCut SC5000 removes those limitations by allowing you to digitally cut, crease and kiss-cut directly from your artwork. There’s no need to manufacture physical dies, making it ideal for businesses producing multiple jobs each day or working with variable data print.

This flexibility allows you to move from design to finished product in minutes, helping you respond quickly to customer demands while reducing production costs.

Perfect for a Wide Range of Print Applications

The SC5000 has been designed to handle a huge variety of digitally printed products, making it one of the most versatile digital die cutting solutions available.

Typical applications include:

• Packaging prototypes
• Short-run carton production
• Point-of-sale displays
• Greetings cards
• Invitations
• Business cards
• Postcards
• Gift vouchers
• Sheet label kiss-cutting
• Promotional print
• Marketing materials
• Retail graphics
• Personalised print
• Lightweight packaging
• Direct mail campaigns

Whether you’re producing one design or hundreds of different jobs, the SC5000 keeps production flowing efficiently.

Unattended Production with Intelligent Job Recognition

One of the standout features of the Intec ColorCut SC5000 is its ability to work completely unattended.

Using its advanced 8th Generation Vision3 CCD camera, the machine automatically reads the QR code printed on every sheet and instantly retrieves the correct cutting file from the ColourCut Pro Job Library.

Even better, the SC5000 can process a mixed stack of completely different jobs without operator intervention.

Simply load the feeder with various printed sheets and the machine automatically identifies each design, loads the correct cut file and completes every job in sequence. No manual file selection. No stopping production. No wasted time.

This intelligent workflow is ideal for print businesses producing personalised work, short-run packaging or multiple customer orders throughout the day.

Reliable High-Capacity Feeding

Reliable sheet feeding is essential for unattended production, and this is where the SC5000 really shines.

Its high-capacity automatic feeder holds up to 900 sheets, allowing long production runs with minimal operator involvement.

To maximise feeding reliability, the system combines several intelligent technologies:

• Automatic air blade separation to loosen sheets before feeding
• Vacuum belt feeding for accurate sheet pickup
• Separation fingers to prevent double feeding
• Automated jogging system to perfectly align every sheet before cutting

Together, these features ensure smooth, dependable feeding across a wide range of materials, including laminated stocks, synthetic media, labels and heavier card.

The result is fewer interruptions, reduced waste and greater confidence when running long unattended jobs.

Precision Digital Cutting and Creasing

The SC5000 doesn’t just cut—it delivers exceptional finishing quality.

Its powerful dual-tool cutting head independently controls both cutting and creasing operations with up to 750g of pressure for each tool. This provides outstanding accuracy across a variety of media while allowing operators to fine-tune cutting pressure, creasing depth and operating speed for every application.

Using the included ColourCut Pro software, you have complete control over:

• Cut-through cutting
• Kiss cutting
• Creasing
• Perforating
• Multiple tool paths
• Variable cutting speeds
• Pressure adjustments

This level of control allows you to produce professional-quality finished products with impressive consistency.

Innovative Grip and Drive Technology

Unlike many digital cutters, the SC5000 features Intec’s unique Dual Grip & Drive feeding system.

By securely holding the sheet on both sides of the cutting head throughout production, the machine maintains excellent media control while allowing cuts to be made much closer to the edge of the sheet.

This improves material utilisation, reduces waste and increases the usable print area on every sheet.

Smarter Finished Sheet Handling

Removing finished products from the sheet can often create extra work.

The SC5000 solves this with intelligent Smart Tags.

Small holding tabs are automatically added within the cutting paths to keep every finished item securely positioned inside the sheet after cutting.

Instead of individual pieces falling loose into the delivery tray, complete sheets are neatly stacked and easy to handle before the operator removes the finished products.

It’s a simple feature that makes a significant difference during larger production runs.

Compact Design with Big Performance

Despite its impressive production capabilities, the Intec ColorCut SC5000 has a surprisingly compact footprint.

Its free-standing mobile design makes it easy to position within almost any print room, while the retractable media catch tray saves valuable floor space when the machine isn’t in use.

The adjustable 5-inch colour touchscreen provides simple operation and can be positioned at the most comfortable viewing angle for the operator.

Whether you’re adding automation to an existing finishing department or creating a dedicated digital finishing area, the SC5000 fits comfortably into almost any workflow.

Powerful ColourCut Pro Production Studio Software Included

Every Intec ColorCut SC5000 is supplied with ColourCut Pro Production Studio, giving designers and machine operators a complete workflow solution.

The software automatically:

• Generates editable QR codes
• Creates cut files
• Stores jobs in the ColourCut Job Library
• Retrieves cutting files automatically
• Controls cutting, creasing and perforating
• Simplifies repeat production

Once a job has been created, anyone can reproduce it quickly and accurately without searching for files or requiring specialist software knowledge.

Even if a printed sheet is loaded upside down or rotated by 180 degrees, the Vision3 camera recognises the QR code and automatically adjusts the cutting process.
