Hi, I'm currently using a JSI P-24 plotter. I have always bought my blades from JSI directly however I wanted to go the ebay route, and get some cheaper ones. I heard Mimaki Blades will work in the JSI blade holder. Is this true? Even if so is it worth it to switch to a better/different holder? Also when I got my cutter there was a few different blades included what is the proper degree for this machine. I'm currently just cutting smaller sized car decals. Any info would be greatly appreciated
cost is relative - i cut MILES of vinyl every year - and the blade in my graphtec is 2 yrs old and counting - and still sharp.... i'll bet lunch for a week that you'll go thru 5 times that many cheap-o blades in the same period of time. and i ain't a bettin' woman

I bought a roland blade holder for my JSI and bought blade off ebay from acompan in carsion City Nv. 5 for $18. They worked great.

i don't know which blade specifically for your plotter, but call ross at clean cut - he's the guru
Yeah I figured so, so I sent him out a email today. Hopefully he has the answers!!! I don't know what I was thinking last night when I looked at prices I thought they were supper expensive for some reason? lol good thing I went back.
