General Guide Regarding Cutting Conditions
A general guide for cutting conditions and the service life of the blade for different combinations of materials
and blades is given below.
Note that optimal cutting is not necessarily obtained simply by conforming to the conditions below. Perform
a cutting test in advance to adjust the conditions.
(For instructions on performing a cutting test, refer to
Notice：Use the blade which suit material
There is a risk of damage to blade when you cut unspecified sheet because of compatibility between blade and
sheet. Use the optimal blade for cutting to sheet material.

* The faster the cutting speed, the worse the image quality, so you have to adjust the speed to match the
required image quality.
If uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased by more than 50 to 60 gf, the
blade has most likely reached the end of its service life.
