eCut
The best plugin in the table. True-shape, DXF, crop marks, print/cut inside Corel for a one-time ~$70. It will not replace a shop that left the design station.
Updated 28 August 2026. NestPrintCut editorial — the team that builds RolCut. Scores follow the public method. We do not run a 200-roll lab we have not run.
eCut has sat in Corel since X3. For shops that build a kit in CDR and nest immediately, it is still the shortest path: docker, nest, crop marks, DXF or plotter. The one-time price breaks the TCO scale — hence 14 points. Do not confuse it with similarly named studios.
Why not higher
Because “cutter output” here means print.pdf + cut.pdf with a spot that the RIP and the table eat without opening Corel. eCut stays in the design file. That is a different shop change: stay at the station, or pull nesting upstream of the RIP.
Pros and cons
- Cheap, once
- True-shape + rectangles in a Corel docker
- Contour, marks, weeding, DXF, G-code
- Signs101 still recommends it for vinyl
- Needs Corel with VBA — not an independent nester
- Wide-format roll is not first-class
- No server queue, no shop API
- Licensing and support can be hands-on
