Points to note when using a paper cutter

Materials

In practice, paper cutters are used to cut a wide range of materials, from paper and cardboard to leather, plastic, cork flooring and PS plates. Due to the wide variety of materials to be cut, different presses should be used for different materials, and the cutting knife edge angle should be varied to ensure a high quality cut product.

Cutting knife edge angle

The choice of cutting edge angle is a very important part of the cutting process. In other words, a good paper cutter should be equipped with a good cutting knife blade and sharpening process. But we found in the after-sales service of the paper cutter, many paper cutter users often ignore this point, as a result, often because the paper cutter blade grinding edge of the way, method, angle is not right, resulting in cutting in the impact force increases, resulting in loose safety screws, and even break, and ultimately cause mechanical damage.

The need to use paper cutting machines to cut a wider range of materials, such as beer foil cap labels, carbonless carbon paper, honeycomb cardboard, magnetic cards, photographic film, etc., these materials in the cutting process will encounter different practical problems. For example, carbonless paper is prone to indentations when cutting, while magnetic cards and photographic films can be cut in a way that the platen can't be fixed, resulting in scraps being cut out. 

These problems can be successfully solved by adjusting the platen pressure and improving the blade and cutting drive system. However, these aspects of technology, according to the author's understanding, only some domestic paper cutter manufacturers can solve all.
