Mimaki Cutting Plotters And Printer Cutters Knives Knife Blades

Selecting the right Mimaki knife blade is critical for achieving precise cuts across different materials, ranging from standard vinyl to thick reflective sheets or heavy cardboard. Most Mimaki blades share a standard 0.3 mm offset, though specialized blades for fine detail or thick materials may vary.

Mimaki Blade Specifications

The following table summarizes Mimaki blade types and their intended applications:

Part Number	Blade Type	Angle / Offset	Recommended Application
SPB-0001	PVC Swivel Blade	45° / 0.3mm	Standard Use: Adhesive-backed vinyl and PVC sheets.
SPB-0003	Small Letter Blade	45° / 0.15mm	Precision: Small characters and intricate detail cutting.
SPB-0006	Reflective Blade	60° / 0.75mm	Thick/Tough: High-intensity reflective sheeting and fluorescent vinyl.
SPB-0007	Fluorescent Blade	45° / 0.5mm	Specialty: Specifically for fluorescent-type vinyl sheets.
SPA-0107	Media Cutter	—	Cross-Cutting: Used for automatically cutting off media from the roll.
SPB-0084	Rubber Blade	—	Heavy Duty: Thick rubber and sandblast mask materials.
SPB-0092	Heavy Paper Blade	—	Packaging: Heavy paper and cardboard (often used with the CG-AR series).

Blade Selection Guide by Application

Selecting a blade depends primarily on material thickness and density:

· Thin Films (1-2 mil): A 30° blade is often used for very thin films like window tint or rice paper to prevent tearing.

· Standard Media (2-6 mil): A 45° blade (such as · SPB-0001· ) is the "all-purpose" choice for cast and calendered vinyl, heat transfer films, and stickers.

· Thick/Dense Media (>6 mil): A 60° blade provides a steeper angle for better penetration into thick materials like magnetic sheets, glitter HTV, or prismatic reflective films.

· Intricate Designs: For very small text or complex logos, use a blade with a lower offset (0.15mm) to ensure the blade can turn more accurately in tight corners.

Maintenance and Setup Tips

· Blade Depth Calibration: The blade should only extend about half the thickness of a credit card. A successful test cut should slice the top layer but only leave a light score on the backing sheet.

· Blade Holders: It is common practice to keep multiple blade holders pre-set for different materials (e.g., one for 45° vinyl and one for 60° thick materials) to avoid constant re-adjustment.

· Machine Settings: When switching blade angles, you must update the offset value in your cutter's settings (e.g., from 0.3mm to 0.75mm) to maintain corner accuracy
