3. Accurately adjust the cutting-in amount.

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 (③) is 0 mm at minimum (①) and 2.5 mm (98.4 mil) at maximum (②).


  • Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Creating a Sticker)

    Set the amount of blade extension (①) to an amount that is the sum of the thickness of the material portion (②) and half (④) the thickness of the backing paper (③).



  • Rough Estimate for the Amount of Blade Extension (When Cutting Perforated Lines)

    Set the amount of blade extension (①) so that when the blade pierces the media (②), the blade tip extends slightly.

    For information about the output settings for cutting perforated lines, refer to the documentation for VersaWorks.



IMPORTANT:

Pushing the blade out too far will damage the blade and blade protector and hasten their deterioration, so exercise caution.
