The One-Two Punch: How the Mutoh 661UF and Boss LS-3655 Work Together

Individually, the Mutoh XpertJet 661UF and the Boss Laser LS-3655 each solve a different half of a job. Put them together on the same piece, and they cover the whole thing — full-color, textured graphics and a precise custom shape, done entirely in-house.

How the workflow actually works

A typical combined job starts on the 661UF: full-color artwork — including a white ink base and raised varnish detail — goes directly onto a wood, acrylic, or PVC panel. From there, that same panel goes onto the LS-3655, which cuts it down to a custom silhouette, engraves additional text or texture, or cuts mounting slots and standoffs so it's ready to install.

Because both machines work directly on rigid material, there's no vinyl, no lamination, and no vendor hand-off in between. One panel, two machines, one finished piece.

What that combination makes possible

• Dimensional logo signs with printed color and a laser-cut outline

• Custom awards and plaques with printed graphics and engraved text

• Layered or backlit letterforms cut to exact shape

• Shaped point-of-sale displays that aren't limited to a rectangle

• Small, highly custom jobs that would be hard to justify outsourcing a single step for

This is the pairing that lets us say yes to jobs that need both print quality and a real cut shape — not a sticker on a rectangle, but a finished, dimensional piece.
