Trotec to present SP2000 large-format laser cutter at FESPA
International laser manufacturer Trotec has announced that it will introduce its SP2000 large-format laser cutter to a specialist audience at FESPA 2017 in May.
With a total working area of 1,680 mm x 2,510 mm, the CO2 laser machine is a unique tool for signage and display fittings and can handle a diverse range of materials such as acrylic, wood and textiles.
The SP2000 is the latest addition to the Trotec SP series of laser machines, which also includes the larger SP3000 that has a working area of 2,200mm x 3,200mm. The firm is also launching new features for our large format lasers SP3000 and SP2000.
Alexander Jauker, head of product management at Trotec, said: “Our large-format laser cutters are easy to access from all four sides. The open design allows unloading and loading from all four sides even during processing.”
Trotec will also present the popular flexx laser machines for maximum flexibility at FESPA 2017. The flatbed lasers are Equipped with a CO2 and a fibre laser, and can activate the two laser sources without manual change of the laser source, lens or focus.
Furthermore, Trotec shows its expansive range of materials, including the new TroGlass acrylic sheets in various colours and surface finishes.
Jauker added: “Unusual shapes for displays, signs or paper products make an end product more interesting and of higher quality. Print service providers and sign and display companies, who offer the contour cutting of printed materials as a service, are able to expand their business.
“The creative finishing gives a competitive advantage and leads to higher margins and additional sales. A printed acrylic sheet or a sheet of paper only becomes a polished and saleable product with proper finishing.
“Conventional cutting systems and milling machines have been established for a long time in the manufacturing technology. In recent years, more and more laser devices are used for finishing.”
Jauker concluded: “With the laser, being the universal ‘tool’, highly filigree designs can be realised and printed materials can be cut precisely. Signage and display manufacturers using laser cutters stand out from the masses with creative display ideas or new branding approaches.”

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
