Accurately Adjusting the Cutting-in Amount
When you want to perform accurate and fine adjustment of the cutting-in amount, such as when cutting media
with thin backing paper, you can obtain good results by adjusting the amount of blade extension. Turn the cap
portion of the blade holder to adjust the amount of blade extension. Each indicator tick corresponds to 0.1 mm
(3.9 mil), and adjustment for 0.5 mm (19.7 mil) can be made by rotating the cap one full turn.
Note that making the amount of blade extension too small may cause the tip of the blade holder cap to touch, and
may soil and damage the printed surface. It is important to be especially careful about this when you are using
media that has poor ink-adhesion properties.
The amount of blade extension (
) is 0 mm (
) at minimum and 2.5 mm (98.4 mil) (
) at maximum.
• Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Creating a Sticker)
Set the amount of blade extension (
) to an amount that is the sum of the thickness of the material portion (
) and half (
) the thickness of the backing paper (
).
• Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Cutting Perforated Lines)
Set the amount of blade extension (
) so that when the cutter pierces the media (
), the blade extends slightly.
