Mimaki has announced a new version (v8.0.4) of its cutting plug-in software, FineCut, which now supports CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6.

CorelDRAW is a professional graphic design package which offers sophisticated graphic design tools, web design facility, content-rich images and fonts, photo-editing capabilities, and the ability to process bigger files and images with the augmented speed of 64-bit support.  Mimaki FineCut 8 is powerful plug-in cutting software which is provided as standard with all Mimaki cutting plotters and printer/cutters and provides signmaking-specific tools within industry standard graphics software such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW.

Existing Mimaki FineCut customers can download the upgrade to version 8.0.4 from the Mimaki website: http://eng.mimaki.co.jp/download.  They will require a v6 or v7 original installation disc in order to verify the process.  In order to download the update, users should navigate within this page to select options for Software; Cutting; FineCut8 for CorelDraw; and then the appropriate operating system for their PC. It is then simply a matter of following the instructions for installing the upgrade.

Richard Williams, responsible for software at Mimaki’s exclusive distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd, comments,“The upgrade to ensure full compatibility with the latest CorelDRAW release will be a welcome addition for our sign making customers and offers them powerful and productive features out of the box.”
