Abstract
A cutting apparatus comprising: a cutting unit including a first blade member and a second blade member that cooperates with the first blade member in cutting an object, configured to cut the object by relatively moving the object and at least one of the first blade member and the second blade member to each other to cut the object; and a changing unit configured to change a pressing force between the first blade member and the second blade member during an operation of cutting the object; wherein the changing unit sets the pressing force during the initial cutting operation from a time when cutting of the object is started until the object has been cut by a predetermined length higher than the pressing force during the subsequent cutting operation.
