Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Mutoh Ultima series sign cutting plotter. The Mutoh Ultima drag knife cutting plotter
has been designed to be one of the most user-friendly and versatile cutting plotters in the market.
As a stand-alone cutting plotter, the Ultima can cut and plot designs onto paper as required.
In combination with an inkjet printer, the Ultima cutting plotter is ready for contour-cutting of pre-printed signs
made with any printer capable of printing onto cutting plotter compatible media. Contour-cutting is made
possible via the integrated EPOS (electronic positioning) technology and the in-the-box software.
But even more important, it is easy to use, as the following guide will show you.
