If your Graphtec runs 8 hours a day, the "Extra Quality" blade prevents mid-job failures. You can run an entire roll of 50-yard vinyl without stopping to change a dull blade.
For print-and-cut jobs, the ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) system on the CE100060 is recalibrated for "Extra Quality." It reads 4-point registration marks even on glossy laminate without false positives. This reduces contour cutting waste from 15% to under 2%.
Standard blades may last 1,000 linear feet. A Graphtec CE100060 Extra Quality blade often lasts 3,000 to 5,000 linear feet. The "Extra Quality" tag implies a tungsten carbide or diamond-coated edge. This hardness means you change blades less frequently, reducing downtime and per-unit production costs. graphtec ce100060 extra quality
There is nothing worse than a cut that looks fine but weeding (removing excess vinyl) is a nightmare. The Extra Quality blade provides a cleaner kerf—the width of the cut. Because the edge is sharper and held to tighter tolerances, the kiss-cut is smoother. You will notice:
The CE1000 series has a specific hardware logic regarding acceleration and quality. To achieve the highest precision (Extra Quality), you must adjust the plotter's acceleration settings via the control panel or the software driver. If your Graphtec runs 8 hours a day,
Graphtec plotters are often used for cardboard and paper prototyping. The 60-degree angle of the Extra Quality blade ensures that intricate die-lines cut through thick cardstock without lifting the material.
