Intec Digital Finishing Equipment — Authorized ColorCut & ColorFlare Dealer

Mid-State Litho is an authorized Intec dealer serving commercial printers, trade finishers, and in-plant shops across the United States from our Grand Blanc, Michigan facility. Intec is a UK-based digital finishing specialist and part of the Plockmatic Group — the same parent company as Morgana — with a product line built around four core technologies: ColorCut flatbed cutters for packaging and short-run die-cut work, ColorCut sheet cutters for business cards and on-demand cards, ColorCut label cutters for digital label production, and ColorFlare foil/lamination systems for metallic, holographic, and tactile finishing. Digital cutting and digital foil have been two of the fastest-growing categories in short-run print finishing since 2020, and Intec is one of the few manufacturers with a complete lineup spanning desktop to production volumes.

On this page you’ll find the full catalog MSL stocks — from the entry-level ColorFlare CF400 and ColorCut LC330 label cutter through the production-class FB9500 Pro-T flatbed and SC7000 Pro-T XL sheet cutter — plus the ColorFlare foils, laminates, and holographic supplies that keep them running. Every machine ships with MSL’s in-house service program: factory-trained technicians, parts inventory, and remote diagnostics. Most Intec equipment qualifies for Section 179 financing through Mitsubishi HC Capital or LEAF, with $1-buyout leases available. Not sure which Intec model fits your shop?

Intec ColorFlare — Digital Foil & Lamination

ColorFlare adds metallic foil, holographic effects, and lamination to already-printed sheets without a foil-stamping die. That makes it the go-to technology for short-run personalization, short-turn wedding invitations, one-off greeting cards, and high-margin packaging enhancements.

  • ColorFlare CF400 — Entry-tier desktop foil system. Ideal for shops testing the digital-foil category or producing small runs alongside a print-on-demand workflow.
  • ColorFlare CF2000 — Mid-tier production foil with expanded sheet-size range. Fits most commercial print shops adding foil as a revenue stream.
  • ColorFlare CF2500 — Top-tier production-class foil and lamination. Largest sheet format, fastest throughput, supports the widest foil and laminate film selection.
  • ColorFlare Foils, Laminates & Holographic Supplies — MSL stocks the full Intec consumables catalog so your machine keeps running.

Intec ColorCut Flatbed Cutters

ColorCut flatbeds replace traditional die-cutting for short runs. Cut custom shapes, prototypes, packaging dielines, signage, and point-of-sale materials from digital files — no cutting die to order, no long setup, no minimum quantity that makes sense only at 10,000 pieces.

  • ColorCut FB580 — Desktop-class flatbed for small-format custom cutting and short-run packaging samples.
  • ColorCut FB775 Flatbed Cutter — MSL’s most-requested Intec flatbed. Mid-format, automatic camera registration, handles packaging mockups through short-run finished packaging.
  • ColorCut FB780-T — Adds an automatic sheet feeder for unattended production runs.
  • Intec ColorCut FB1190-T — Large-format flatbed with feeder for B2/A1 sheet sizes common in commercial packaging.
  • Intec FB9500 Pro-T — Production-class flatbed for the highest-volume short-run packaging and label converting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Intec a good brand for commercial print finishing?
Yes. Intec is a UK-based digital finishing specialist under the Plockmatic Group (sibling brand to Morgana). Their ColorCut flatbed, sheet, and label cutters and ColorFlare foil/lamination systems are used by commercial print shops, trade finishers, and in-plant operations worldwide. Intec is one of the few manufacturers with a complete digital-finishing lineup spanning desktop to production volumes.

What’s the difference between a ColorCut flatbed and a ColorCut sheet cutter?
Flatbed cutters (FB580 / FB775 / FB780-T / FB1190-T / FB9500 Pro-T) cut custom shapes, packaging dielines, signage, and point-of-sale from digital files — no cutting die required. Sheet cutters (SC6500 / SC7000 Pro-T / SC7000 Pro-T XL) are purpose-built for finishing printed sheets into business cards and small-format rectangular products at speed. Use a flatbed for shape variety, a sheet cutter for business-card throughput.
