Recommended Cutting Conditions
A general guide for cutting conditions for different combinations of materials and blades is given below. Before cutting, perform a cutting test with a suitable blade for the sheet material.
IMPORTANT Blades have suitability for particular sheet materials, and cutting materials that are not specified as suitable may cause the blade to break.
| Blade | Material | Cutting force (gf) | Cutting speed (cm/sec)*1 | Amount of blade offset (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZEC-U5032 | General Signage Vinyl | 30 to 100 | 30 or less | 0.25 |
| General inkjet vinyl | 50 to 100 | |||
| Iron-on print vinyl | 50 to 100 | |||
| ZEC-U5025 | General Signage Vinyl | 40 to 100 | 30 or less | 0.25 |
| Fluorescent Vinyl | 120 to 200 | 10 or less | ||
| ZEC-U5010 | Glass (car) film | 80 to 120 | 30 or less | 0.50 |
| ZEC-U1715 | Sandblast | 100 to 150 | 5 or less | 0.25 |
| ZEC-U3050 | Coated board (thin) | 200 to 350 | 5 or less | 0.50 |
| Fluorescent Vinyl | 350 to 450 | |||
| ZEC-U3075 | Coated board (thick) | 250 to 400 | 5 or less | 0.75 |
| Fluorescent Vinyl | 350 to 450 |
*1 The faster the cutting speed, the worse the image quality, so you have to adjust the speed to match the required image quality.
MEMO When uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased to a value that is 50 to 60 gf higher than the values shown in this chart, replace the blade.
