ColorPrint PU Cutting...PITA!

[splizaat]

This stuff prints like a dream and feels great once pressed...but for the LIFE OF ME, I can not get this stuff to cleanly cut! Cutting through ink...I'd tried fast, I've tried hard, no matter what -- the blade continues to skip (sometimes less than others).

Our best settings so far have been 95grams at 13cm/s speed, 18cm/s up speed.

Anyone else have tricks on this one? It's so soft and stretchy I am stumped.

no heat, new blade only and very slow cut speed

I have a Love/Hate relationship with this stuff. I print with heat to aid in drying. But If I can let sit for 24 hours before cutting, really helps a heap.

I cut it fast, like 40 on my graphtec with a force of 12 or so.

cut first, return to origin. Print after that. Should fix the issues.

100grms, 45 degree blade. we have no issues. we have a vp 300, so this may be useless info if you're running a different machine

what speed? and heat on or off? We print this stuff and cut it at 98/104

i'm sure you have already, but check your blade depth...no more than thickness of a credit card.
