Blades and Lasers:
Both blade and laser vinyl cutters have their pros and cons; both options generally work the same way—the cutter feeds the vinyl in and cuts it as needed. The vinyl is then reversed through the machine to make a cut in another area or to change the shape of a cut currently in progress.
Instead of an in-feed system, some laser cutters place the vinyl on a table and the laser moves over the area to be cut. These are usually the fastest cutters on the market.
Vinyl cutters with blades are able to handle thicker, more durable materials that laser cutters cannot cut without burning the edges. For the thickest materials, a blade vinyl cutter is the best choice. For thinner materials, lasers offer unrivaled speed.
Another disadvantage of the blade system is that the blades need to be replaced when they become dull. A dull blade can ruin an expensive piece by tearing instead of cutting. Lasers have no such disadvantages. Although laser cutting equipment is indeed more suitable than blade cutting equipment, laser cutting will cause the edges to burn and turn yellow, requiring secondary processing, but blade cutting does not require secondary processing. Processing, it seems that it can not only save time, but also improve work efficiency.
