Cutting Tips:
- Always carry out a Test-Cut, this will identify if you have a sharp blade and if the pressure and force is correct.
- For optimal cutting and weeding, maintain a line thickness of at least 1.5 mm (1/16“) for lettering and logos.
- Once you have the correct setting, make a visual note and attach it to your cutter for each type of material.
- Different HTV materials and plotter cutter brands require different blades, always have a selection to hand.
