Cutting plotters: The ideal accessory for your business

A cutting plotter is an essential piece of kit in any sign-making business. It enables precise cutting of a wide variety of designs – whether small and intricate or large and bold – without damaging the backing film. Depending on the workload, a cutting plotter can therefore be used quite frequently. So it’s all the better if you can make the work steps easier with the right accessories! We’ll explain which ‘upgrades’ are available for our cutting plotters and which accessories you’ll need for them.

Upgrading your cutting plotter

Depending on which machine you have, a trailing or tangential blade is required to ensure optimum cutting results. Due to the simple design of the drag knife’s cutting head, the cutting plotter models adapted for it are slightly more affordable, which is often a decisive factor, particularly in smaller businesses. Another advantage is that the simple cutting process using the drag knife increases plotting speed. This is why cutting plotters with drag knives are particularly popular for handling high volumes of simple designs and are used in many businesses within the advertising industry.

Tangential blades, on the other hand, are slightly slower in operation due to their sophisticated cutting technology, but in return they allow for a wider range of applications. Tangential blades offer clear advantages over drag knives, particularly when cutting thicker materials, and – when used appropriately – justify the slightly higher cost of the equipment.

In our shop, we offer our customers a range of plotter blades and blade holders compatible with our various cutting plotter models. With these accessories, you can optimally equip your cutting plotter, replace worn blades and continue to benefit from the excellent results delivered by our cutting plotters.

Suitable spare parts for wear and tear caused by use

In addition to plotter blades, there are other machine parts that may show signs of wear following intensive use of the cutting plotter. That is why we also offer a selection of various spare parts in our shop, enabling you to continue to benefit from the optimum performance of our machines. So, should the cut quality deteriorate for no apparent reason over time, it is advisable to replace common wear parts such as the drag blade, blade holder, cutting bar or pinch rollers.
