Magnetic tape and method for producing the same
A magnetic tape having a magnetic layer which contains at least a ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on one surface of a support and having a back layer on the other surface, wherein the following conditions of (1) and (2) are satisfied, (1) a maximum convex degree of the magnetic layer is 1.0 μm or lower on a non-restraint side cut surface, and (2) a total number of particles with the particle size of 1.0 μm or larger which adhere to the restraint side cut surface and the non-restraint side cut surface are 100 particles/20 mm or lower. The magnetic tape can be produced by a cutting device in which the blade angle of the upper blade forming the non-restraint cut surface of the magnetic tape is 50 to 80°.
