Paper cutter is a kind of paper processing equipment. It has a wide range of applications in a series of paper and non-paper processing fields. It is a universal device. At the same time, paper cutters also occupy an important position in printing machinery products. Paper cutters are green paper processing equipment and indispensable production equipment for green printing enterprises. At present, the paper cutters on the domestic market mainly include automatic paper cutters, CNC paper cutters, automatic CNC paper cutters, electric paper cutters, and program-controlled paper cutters. Its main cutting system, positioning system, and paper pressing system are all close to the international advanced level, and the control system is gradually perfecting. Regardless of its appearance design, function, and operation performance, great progress has been made.
Despite the rapid development of China's paper cutter manufacturing industry in recent years, there are still gaps compared with some international brands, mainly in terms of automation control and cutting accuracy. Paper cutter operators generally report that foreign famous brand paper cutters are more accurate than domestic ones. In addition, investment and procurement, domestic hydraulic paper cutters are prone to inconsistent cutting dimensions and "mushroom edge" phenomena when opening materials. Therefore, many strong printing companies prefer to buy imported paper cutters at high prices, which also restricts the development of domestic paper cutters.
On the other hand, the paper cutters used by many domestic printers are still mechanical paper cutters equipped in the 1980s and 1990s. This paper cutter obviously has some problems: there is no high-precision size positioning system and size setting device for printers to visit, the accuracy is low, and it cannot meet the requirements for cutting high-end printed products; mechanical paper cutters have high impact, high noise, The safety mechanism is unreliable and easy to cause work accidents; the level of automation is low, there is no automatic paper feeding mechanism, the labor intensity is high, the security printing is low, and the production efficiency is low. In addition, due to the differences in regional economic development, the types of paper cutters used by printing companies in different regions are also different. For example, mechanical paper cutters in the central and western regions and small and medium-sized private printing companies are still widely used; large printing companies and printing companies in the southeast coastal areas mostly use hydraulic digital display and hydraulic program-controlled paper cutters; Sino-foreign joint venture printing companies and Banknote printing companies basically use imported paper cutters.
It can be seen that there are still many problems in the development of domestic paper cutters, but it is precisely such problems that herald a bright future for domestic paper cutters.
      (1) Large room for growth There is a considerable gap between the level of print consumption in China and the world ’s developed countries and the world average. There is a lot of room for the development of new technologies and industries in the printing industry, which will definitely promote the continuous development and innovation of paper cutter technology. .

      (2) Wide scope of application With the diversified development of modern printing and the expansion of the printing field, the cutting requirements from cutting, single-sided cutting, special processing and cutting layout design, as well as the cutting requirements of printed products such as glazing and lamination, etc. More and more diverse. These will inevitably make the paper cutter more perfect to complete more and more complex cutting processes.
