Aerocut X Expert Review
WHAT I LIKE:
I love how the Aerocut X combines what would be three manual processes spread across three different automatic machines into one machine. The automatic slitter, cutter, and creaser are activated at the press of a button and complete the job without me having to stand close by. The dedicated cutting unit has self-sharpening blades so I don't have to worry about cuts on my fingers. The rollers, perforator, and creaser units can be removed for cleaning and then put back in, making maintenance short and sweet.
Thanks to the integration with Lytrod’s Intellicut Software, my jobs automatically change when the barcode reads on the machine. This allows me to switch between jobs like perforating event tickets, creasing cards, and cutting business cards. My print job will pause and give an error message if the print settings don't match the machine settings. This is excellent for reducing project waste and reprints because of small errors.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
The Aerocut X is a sizable, reliable device made for large-sized print businesses that perform paper finishing, creasing, or perforation. However, the MBM Aerocut X Pro "big brother" is worth looking at if your print company has a bigger demand. The Aerocut X Pro contains all of the capabilities of the X in addition to an upgraded 10" touchscreen, 34 pages per minute of output, the ability to perforate sheets in different directions, and an ionizer that lessens static electricity on your pages.
I RECOMMEND THIS FOR:
I recommend the Aerocut X for large print-on-demand shops, colleges, and those looking to automate high volume cutting, creasing, slitting, and perforating needs. However, if you’re a midsize shop that’s finding yourself needing to alternate between slitting, cutting, creasing, or perforating more often, the Aerocut X would make your life easier.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
The Aerocut X is a great addition to the larger print shops. I love being able to set up a variety of different jobs, press the button, and come back to the completed documents. It’s like having an extra person around to help with the workload. With precision and efficiency, the Aerocut X increases production output for me without any extra work.
