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.
