2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a user who requires an adhesive label with a release paper that is half-cut to the label size excluding the release paper has been asked to make it by a label producing company. If it is more than 5000 sheets, it will be extremely expensive. Therefore, for example, when the same adhesive label is required in a small amount of about 20 to 100 sheets, a half-cut adhesive label sheet with release paper half-cut to a predetermined label size on the market is purchased. It was possible to input characters, images, etc. according to the half cut size of the label with a PC or word processor and output it to the printer for printing, but the half cut size does not match the commercially available label size Adhesive with release paper When making a label, I had to ask a label manufacturer to know that it was expensive. Therefore, the present inventor
We have succeeded in developing a cutting plotter that enables half-cutting even with a small number of labels, such as 00 or less, according to the characters, images, etc.
