About the Blade
The cutting conditions and the service life of the blade change according to the media and the operating environment, even when you're using identical blades. The service life also differs according to the type of blade. A rough guide is shown below.
| Blade | Media | Blade force | Amount of blade offset (amount of blade tip correction) |
Blade life (general guide)*1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZEC-U5032 | General Signage Vinyl | 30 to 100 gf | 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) | 8,000 mm (26,246.7 ft.) |
| ZEC-U5025 | General Signage Vinyl | 30 to 100 gf | 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) | 4,000 mm (13,123.4 ft.) |
| Fluorescent Vinyl | 120 to 200 gf | 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) | 4,000 mm (13,123.4 ft.) | |
| Fluorescent Vinyl | 100 to 200 gf | 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) | 4,000 mm (13,123.4 ft.) |
*1 The values for "Blade life" are estimates for when an identical type of media is used.
When uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased to a value that is higher than the values shown in this chart by 50 to 60 gf, replace the blade.
