A comparison of the Secabo C120 V and C120 IV cutting plotters

Cutting plotters enable clean, straight cuts even with irregular shapes. This makes them an indispensable tool in the advertising industry. The C120 models from Secabo are particularly well-suited to professional use. With their generous maximum cutting width, they ensure high-quality results even when designing banner advertisements and vehicle graphics. With the C V series, Secabo has now launched two new machines onto the market that outperform even the high-performance C IV models. We present the Secabo C120 V cutting plotter in a direct comparison with its predecessor, the C120 IV.

With a maximum cutting width of 126 cm, the Secabo C120 models are also ideally suited to demanding advertising applications.

Cutting plotters are output devices that cut out even the finest objects reliably and precisely. To do this, the plotters move a cutting blade along the specified cutting lines. The entire process is controlled fully automatically by a computer. The material used is usually self-adhesive film, which consists of the actual adhesive film and a backing paper. During the plotting process, only the film is cut through; the backing paper remains intact and holds the sticker together until it is transferred to the desired surface.

Depending on the quality, the purchase price of a cutting plotter may seem rather high at first glance. In the long term, however, all businesses can save an enormous amount of time and money by designing their own advertising. After all, a business’s success depends to a large extent on the quality of its advertising messages. A professional advertising agency often charges exorbitant fees for this, which small and medium-sized businesses in particular find difficult to afford. Instead, invest in a cutting plotter so that you can design your own advertising. If you opt for a high-quality machine, nothing will stand in the way of a professional advertising campaign.

A cutting plotter can be used to create a variety of promotional materials. These include:

When looking for a cutting plotter, you’re spoilt for choice. There’s a wide range available on the market. In the YOW! online shop, too, you can choose from over 20 different cutting plotters from the brands Secabo, GraphTec, SummaCut and Silhouette. When looking for the right product for you, we recommend paying particular attention to the cutting width. Whilst a 30 cm model is generally perfectly adequate for designing custom wall decals and stickers, you should opt for a slightly larger machine for vehicle graphics and banner advertising. The Secabo C120 V and C120 IV are particularly well-suited to these purposes. With a maximum cutting width of 126 cm, they are more than capable of handling any challenge.

The C IV series cutting plotters have been specially developed for beginners and professionals looking for an affordable additional plotter. They offer the highest levels of reliability and precision at a fair entry-level price. With a cutting width of up to 126 cm, the Secabo C120 IV is also suitable for large-scale jobs involving high volumes. It cuts all materials – such as adhesive films, flex and flock films, paper and cardboard – reliably and quickly. The C120 IV impresses with its ease of use and, thanks to Lapos2 technology, delivers precise contour cuts.

The cutting plotter is powered by the multilingual cutting software Draw Cut LITE, which is included as standard. Should this not meet your requirements, you always have the option to upgrade to Draw Cut PRO. A particularly handy feature: a sturdy stand is also included as standard. Thanks to the roll holder, film rolls are unwound smoothly and without jerking, ensuring maximum precision even for long plots.

With the new C V-Series from Secabo, the C120 IV has undergone a significant upgrade. Two models have been launched as part of this range: the high-performance C120 V and its smaller counterpart, the C60 V, with a maximum cutting width of 63 cm. Just like its predecessor, the C120 V is suitable for all standard materials used in signage and textile finishing.

With the C120 V, Secabo has launched a model that impresses with a fresh, distinctive design. The mechanical structure has also been revised and now ensures even greater precision and improved repeatability when plotting. Users benefit not least from the completely new and user-friendly menu and navigation system. The optimised controller gives you easy access to all key functions without losing track of what you’re doing. Benefit from the improved menu navigation, which guarantees smooth operation at all times. Naturally, the Secabo C120 V also features the integrated Lapos2 contour cutting function, which enables precise cutting even with the smallest objects. And here, too, you don’t have to do without the added convenience provided by the stand included in the package. This makes the C120 V suitable even for demanding users and professional signage technicians.
