Graphtec CE7000-130 Cutting Strip 2-Pack PM-CR-011

The Graphtec CE7000-130 Cutting Strip 2-Pack (part number PM-CR-011) is the genuine original Graphtec replacement Teflon cutting mat strip for the CE7000-130 50" cutting plotter. Each pack contains 2 strips, 5mm wide and pre-cut to the CE7000-130's gutter rail length, with an aggressive adhesive backing and a rigid Teflon (PTFE) base on the blade-facing side. The CE7000-130 features a dedicated cutting channel — a design that concentrates blade wear in a single controlled zone to extend both blade and strip life — and the PM-CR-011 is the correct replacement strip for that channel. Every PM-CR-011 we stock at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Graphtec — not aftermarket, not generic.

CE7000 strips share the PM-CR naming prefix with FC9000 strips but are not interchangeable — they differ in width and length. Full platform reference:

About the CE7000-130 Cutting Channel

The CE7000-130 features a dedicated cutting channel — a design in which the blade operates in a fixed, recessed channel along the platen. This concentrates blade wear in a single controlled zone rather than distributing it across a wider surface, extending both blade and strip life compared to designs without a dedicated channel. It also enables clean perforated cuts and through-cuts without risk of blade contact with the platen body outside the strip. Replacing the PM-CR-011 strip when it becomes grooved restores the channel geometry and ensures consistent blade penetration depth across the full 50" cutting width.

What Does a Cutting Strip Do?

The cutting strip sits in the CE7000-130's gutter rail, providing a controlled surface for the blade tip to fully penetrate media during through-cut work without contacting bare metal. It protects both the platen rail from damage and the blade from premature dulling. A worn strip causes inconsistent cut depth across the 50" width, incomplete cuts despite correct settings, media lifting, and accelerated blade wear.

When to Replace

Replace PM-CR-011 every 6 months in regular production, or immediately when you notice:

• Deep grooves worn along the cutting path

• Incomplete cuts despite correct blade force and depth

• Inconsistent cut depth across the 50" cutting width

• Media lifting during cutting

• Blade tips dulling faster than normal

Installation Notes

Clean the gutter rail with isopropyl alcohol to remove adhesive residue and debris. Allow to dry completely. Peel the adhesive liner, align one end with the rail, and press firmly along the full length. Allow 15–30 minutes before cutting. After installation verify blade force and depth settings — the fresh Teflon surface may require minor adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is PM-CR-011 only 5mm wide when FC9000 PM-CR strips are 10mm?
Despite sharing the PM-CR naming prefix, CE7000 and FC9000 strips are different products. The CE7000's cutting channel is narrower than the FC9000's gutter rail, requiring a 5mm strip. The FC9000 uses a 10mm strip. Never substitute one for the other — wrong strip width either leaves the rail exposed or prevents the strip from seating correctly.

Can I use PM-CR-009 or PM-CR-010 in my CE7000-130?
No. PM-CR-009 fits the CE7000-40 (15") and PM-CR-010 fits the CE7000-60 (24"). The CE7000-130 requires PM-CR-011, which is cut to the 50" gutter rail length. Using a shorter strip leaves sections of the channel unprotected.

What is the CE7000's cutting channel and how does it affect strip life?
The CE7000's cutting channel is a dedicated recessed zone on the platen where the blade operates. By concentrating blade contact in a single defined area, it reduces wear spread across the strip and extends its service life compared to older platen designs. It also enables clean perforated and through-cuts. When the strip in the channel becomes grooved, replace with PM-CR-011 to restore the channel's geometry and consistent cut depth.

Do you ship PM-CR-011 to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Ideal for Latin American sign shops and print-and-cut operations running the CE7000-130 and using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
