Dual-plotter digital label finishing for faster short-run production
The Afinia DLF-220S Dual Plotter Digital Label Finisher is built for businesses that need fast, precise and flexible in-house label finishing. It integrates unwinding, laminating, contour cutting, waste removal, slitting and rewinding into one compact digital finishing workflow.
Increased speed meets ultimate versatility
The DLF-220S Dual Plotter Digital Label Finisher is designed for on-demand, short-run label finishing. It brings together unwinding, laminating, contour cutting, waste removal, slitting and rewinding within one unified process.
The system uses two plotter cutters to optimise cutting efficiency. This improves production speed while keeping the workflow flexible for diverse label finishing demands.
Dual plotter speed
Two plotters divide the cutting task, reducing movement and increasing cutting efficiency.
No physical dies
Cut from a digital file, making it ideal for short runs, proofing and frequent shape changes.
Compact form factor
A tabletop consolidated design helps fit professional finishing into smaller production spaces.
Flexible media support
Compatible with paper, synthetic and specialty label materials for packaging, shipping, branding and industrial uses.
Complete workflow
Unwind, laminate, cut, remove waste, slit and rewind finished label rolls in one process.
Faster turnaround
Helps reduce outsourced finishing, minimums and waiting time for short-to-medium jobs.
Key DLF-220S Dual Plotter product details
The DLF-220S Dual Plotter is a digital label finishing system. It does not use ink, and finishing speed depends on artwork and cut complexity.
Feed Format
Roll-fed labels for continuous, on-demand finishing with dual plotting for efficient output.

Two plotters working together for faster digital finishing
The DLF-220S Dual Plotter improves cutting efficiency by dividing the task between two plotters. One plotter handles one half of the labels while the other handles the second half, reducing movement and optimising the cutting process.
In most cases, this results in a speed increase of over 2x, making it a practical choice for businesses that need faster short-run digital finishing without moving into larger industrial systems.
- 2x plotters for increased speed
- Cut from a digital file with no dies
- Tabletop consolidated form factor
- Ideal for short runs and proofing
- Designed for diverse layout requirements
- Synchronized dual-plotter functionality keeps both plotters actively engaged
CCD cameras and software help fine-tune cutting positions
The integrated software works with CCD cameras to fine-tune cutting positions, helping support accurate digital finishing and quick job changes.
Users can import a PDF cutting file, simplify setup, make on-the-fly adjustments and move between jobs more efficiently.
- Integrated software workflow
- CCD camera alignment support
- PDF cutting file import
- Quick job changes
- On-the-fly adjustment capability
- Useful for variable jobs and custom shapes
Precision finishing for paper and plastic film label work
Despite its desktop design, the DLF-220S is equipped to manage varied paper and plastic films. It delivers precision cuts while helping minimise waste, which is especially valuable for short runs.
Because the workflow is digital, there is no need for die plates. This supports operational cost savings and gives businesses the flexibility to modify label shape, size and quantity as demand changes.
Paper and Film Support
Designed to manage varied paper and plastic film label materials.
Reduced Waste
Precision cutting supports efficient production with minimal wastage.
No Die Plates
Digital cutting removes die-plate requirements and supports cost savings.
Flexible Changes
Label shape, size and quantity can be adjusted according to demand.
