Clean, straight cuts without dust – that is the challenge when cutting paper media for sublimation printing.

NEPATA’s rewinders and cutting machines are optimised for film media. They can also process a wide range of papers, such as photographic paper, digital printing paper or – particularly relevant for many of our customers – transfer paper for sublimation printing. Our unique pad lubrication system ensures the best possible cutting results. The felt jaws apply lubricants (silicone oil, water, oil-in-water solutions) directly to both sides of the slitting blade. The user controls the lubrication themselves at the touch of a button. This ensures economical use and prevents the paper from becoming contaminated. The contact pressure of the felt jaws is adjustable. This allows them to exert a significant braking force on the moving blade – further improving the cutting results. Watch this video to see how sublimation paper can be slitted effortlessly using the NEPATA UA1650 ADWS. The roll can also be rewound and, of course, slitted to the desired length.
