Professional Cutting, Made Easy
The CG-AR Series is Mimaki's entry-model cutting plotter, offering repeatable, fast cutting on a wide range of media. It's a fit for t-shirt transfers, decals, window lettering, cardstock projects, and more, and it's compatible with both Windows® and macOS® computers — a good match for hobbyists and production businesses alike. Available in 29" (CG-60AR) and 61" (CG-130AR) widths.
Continuous crop mark detection drives accurate contour cutting, while a half-cut function and three selectable job speeds keep handling simple whether media loads from the front or back of the machine.
Built for Accuracy at Any Speed
Three features keep contour cuts registered and handling simple.
Continuous Mark Detection
Contour cutting registration stays accurate across long runs, so printed graphics line up precisely with their cut lines.
Half Cut & Flexible Loading
A half-cut function simplifies handling delicate materials, with media loadable from either the front or back of the machine.
Remote Event Notification
Get notified when a job finishes or needs attention, without standing at the machine.
FineCut9, SimplePop & More
The CG-AR Series ships with FineCut9 and SimplePop software standard, giving hobbyists and production shops a complete cut workflow out of the box. The CG60AR & Stand Craft & Packaging Bundle adds Sure Cuts A Lot for even broader design compatibility.

Blade & Cutter Types
General-Purpose Blades
Eccentric cutter, blade for small character work, and ball point pen — for everyday contour cutting and drafting.
Specialty Blades
Blades for reflective sheet, fluorescent sheet, and low-pressure PVC, plus a heavy paper cutter and creasing tool.
Swapping blades rather than machines lets one CG-AR handle everything from window lettering to reflective safety signage.
Perfect Print & Cut Partner
ID Cut & Zero Margin Mark
ID Cut and Zero Margin Mark automate registration between a Mimaki printer's output and the CG-AR's cutting pass, so print-and-cut jobs stay aligned without manual mark placement.
