Hybrid announces new Mimaki FineCut 8.0 cutting software

The latest version of Mimaki's powerful plugin cutting software is now available and is compatible with both Adobe Illustrator CS5 (on Mac and PC) and CorelDRAW! X5 on PC. The software adds sign-making functionality to popular industry standard software applications and fits seamlessly into standard workflows.

With significant performance upgrades over the previous version, it comes bundled free of charge with the full range of Mimaki's cutters and integrated printer/cutters. For existing users of previous versions of Mimaki FineCut, a free upgrade is available via UK & Irish Mimaki distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd's website and for those wishing to try it out, a 60 day licensed version can also be downloaded free of charge.

Mimaki FineCut enables contour cut paths to be created from both bitmap and vector images, automates the print and cut process when used in combination with the Mimaki RasterLink Pro RIP software and provides powerful cutting tools for both coloured vinyl cutting and print and cut workflows.

Hybrid's marketing manager, Duncan Jefferies describes the update as a valuable revision to the software.

"Mimaki FineCut is a powerful application," he says, "and the latest version ensures cross platform and package compatibility alongside some feature rich development."
