Key applications
Cutting plotters allow you to produce a wide range of applications with speed, accuracy, and flexibility. From entry-level production to more advanced applications, cutting plotters help you expand your capabilities without adding complexity.
Create contour-cut stickers and labels for packaging, branding, and retail. Handle short runs, personalized jobs, or larger batches with reliable accuracy and minimal setup.
Labels & Stickers
Develop packaging samples, mock-ups, and short production runs without tooling costs. Add cutting and creasing (fold lines) in one process to speed up development cycles.
Packaging & Prototyping
Produce vinyl lettering, window graphics, and display materials with clean edges and consistent quality, even for detailed designs.
Signage & Graphics
Cut heat transfer films and specialty materials for apparel and custom products with clean, consistent results.
Textile & Custom Products

Why Mimaki Cutting Plotters
Mimaki cutting plotters help you work faster, reduce manual steps, and maintain consistent results across your production.
Precision and consistent output:
Achieve clean cuts and sharp details with accurate contour cutting. Stable tracking and advanced detection help maintain alignment and reduce errors, even in longer runs.
Efficient, streamlined workflows:
Move from print to cut with minimal setup. Automatic alignment, ID Cut (automatic job recognition and cutting), and easy-to-use software reduce manual work and speed up production.
Flexibility across applications:
Work with media from flexible films to rigid materials. Switch between kiss-cut (top layer only) and die-cut (full cut) to handle a wide range of products without changing your workflow.
Cutting Plotters in Production Workflows
Cutting plotters help you move from design to finished product with fewer manual steps and consistent results.
In print-and-cut workflows, you print first and then cut around the design. Registration marks (small printed markers) help detect the correct position for accurate cutting.
- Print-and-cut accuracy: automatically aligns printed graphics with cutting paths for precise results
- Automated job handling (ID Cut): detects each job and applies the correct cutting settings, allowing multiple jobs to run with minimal input
- Efficient, flexible production: process jobs continuously and switch between kiss-cut (top layer only), die-cut (full cut), and contour cutting to match different applications
Frequently asked questions about cutting plotters
A cutting plotter is a machine that cuts materials into precise shapes using a blade and a digital design.
You create the design in software (such as Adobe Illustrator or RIP software). The cutting plotter then follows the design and cuts the material.
Cutting plotters are often used for vinyl cutting, including stickers, labels, and signage. You can also use them for packaging and textile transfers.
They help you produce clean, consistent results with reliable cutting speed. This makes them suitable for both entry-level production and higher-volume jobs.
A Cricut machine is a small, hobby-level device designed for personal and low-volume use.
A cutting plotter is built for professional production. It offers higher cutting speed, greater precision, and more reliable performance for continuous workflows.
This makes cutting plotters more suitable for businesses producing signage, labels, packaging, and other commercial applications.
No. A cutting plotter cuts materials; it does not print. You use it after printing to cut shapes.
In print-and-cut workflows, you print the design first and then cut around it. The cutting plotter reads registration marks (small printed markers) to find the correct position and cut accurately.
Some systems combine printing and cutting in one device. In this setup, you print first and then cut automatically, with less manual handling and faster turnaround.
Contour cutting is a process where the plotter reads registration marks on a printed design and cuts precisely around its shape. This is essential for producing stickers, labels, and complex graphics with accuracy.
A vinyl cutter is a type of cutting plotter used to cut adhesive vinyl for signage and graphics.
Cutting plotters offer broader capabilities, allowing you to work with more materials and applications, including print-and-cut workflows.
More solutions for your production workflow
Solvent
Solvent printing is the default for many sign graphics customers around the world. With excellent outdoor durability and great colour gamut, Mimaki’s range of solvent machines is there to help you as a print provider to enhance your offering. Eco solvent inks are also available, which emit less VOCs without compromising the quality and durability of the output.

UV
UV printing remains a vital industrial solution, meeting demands for customisation, efficiency, and more sustainable production with lower energy use and waste. UV inkjet printers cure ink instantly with ultraviolet light and can print directly onto a wide range of materials, enabling decoration of panels, products, and components beyond traditional printers. Mimaki UV printers deliver this versatility with reliable, professional-quality output.
