CUTTING DEVICE AND CUTTING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided is a cutting device capable of performing a cutting process under the conditions that accurate positioning between a cutting head and an object can be reliably obtained. A cutting device (1) comprises a guide rail (40a) which is opposed to a platen (30), a printer head (62) for printing an image and register marks on a sheet material (8), a cutter blade (53) for performing a cutting process to the sheet material (8), an object feeding mechanism for feeding the sheet material (8) forward and backward, a register mark detection unit (54) which detects positions of the register marks, and a controller which sets a cutting position corresponding to a print position of the image, wherein the image and the register marks are printed while the sheet material (8) is fed forward, positions of the register marks are detected by the register mark detection unit (54), and a cutting process is performed by the cutter blade (53) to the cutting position set by the controller. Before starting the cutting process, positions of the register marks printed around an image which has been printed at the rear-most side among the plurality of images, are detected, and the cutting process of the image is performed.
