Nesting in AccuMark software is efficient (saving 5–12% material vs. manual layout). The 102 reads native .zpr or .cutter files directly. No third-party conversion headaches.
Modern inkjets print beautifully on paper, but they cannot handle 10-point or 20-point oaktag. If you are making durable, re-usable hard patterns (markers) that need to survive a hot, dusty cutting room, you need a penetration tool. The 102 uses a tangential knife or a ballpoint pen that physically presses into the tag. Inkjets smear on tag; the 102 etches into it. gerber accumark 102
Its job was simple but brutal: take digital pattern data from Gerber’s proprietary AccuMark software and physically draw it onto rolls of plotter paper or oaktag (hard tag board) at high speed. It didn't just draw; it punched and cut registration marks for laser projectors. Nesting in AccuMark software is efficient (saving 5–12%
