I'm having trouble finding the sweet spot for plotting pressure for my boss. He has me increase the pressure to improve the speed an ease of weeding vinyl, but then when he goes to do the installs on site, he has trouble with the backing paper separating and coming up with the vinyl. So he asks me to turn down the pressure so we're not cutting into the backing paper so much, but then complains about how much more difficult it is to weed.
One variable that may or may not make a difference, is that some of jobs are plotted, weeded and applied with application tape - but will then sit for a few weeks before the installation date. Having a UV printer in our shop, we also have ample humidity at all times. Having the plotted vinyl sitting in our shop for some time before it gets installed, could this also increase the chance the backing paper is separating when being peeled at the install?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
