Automate precision cutting and finishing for DTF film, stickers, decals, heat-transfer media and short-run printed graphics. The STS C3135 Flatbed Cutter combines a CCD camera, registration-mark/QR-code recognition, roll-media feeding and vacuum media hold-down to help busy print shops reduce hand trimming and move from printed output to clean, repeatable finished work.

Watch the cutter and its production workflow before exploring specifications. Actual media suitability and finishing results depend on job setup, material and tooling.
What the C3135 Can Do for Your Print Shop
Manual cutting ties up operators and can introduce inconsistent edges. The C3135 is a dedicated finishing machine for workflows that need more accurate, repeatable contour cutting, straight cuts, perforation and compatible scoring tasks. Its camera-assisted registration helps align cutting paths with printed artwork, while the friction-feed system accommodates compatible roll-fed media.
Designed for Production Efficiency
- Cutting area: Up to 900 × 800 mm (35.43 × 31.50 in).
- Adjustable cutting speed: 10–700 mm/s, depending on settings and media.
- Adjustable cutting force: 0–750 g for compatible tools and media.
- Repeat precision: Manufacturer-rated ≤ 0.05 mm under appropriate conditions.
- Touchscreen: 10-inch capacitive control panel.
- Controls and communication: USB, LAN, Wi-Fi and U-disk support.
- Mobility: Space-saving foldable design for installation, transport and storage planning.
Materials and Applications

STS lists PET heat-transfer film, self-adhesive vinyl, sticker stock, coated paper, kraft paper and cardboard among supported applications. Material thickness, backing, adhesive, stiffness and tooling determine actual performance. Confirm your exact substrate, finish and production volume with GPI Supplies before ordering.
How the Workflow Works
- Prepare your artwork. Set up print and cutting paths using the supported software workflow and registration marks or job codes as required.
- Print and load material. Feed the compatible sheet or roll media and secure it with the vacuum hold-down system.
- Scan and register. The CCD camera reads supported registration marks or QR codes to help identify and position jobs.
- Finish the job. Choose appropriate tooling, pressure and speed for contour cutting, perforation or compatible scoring applications.
- Inspect and collect. Check cut depth and registration on test material before full production.
