Cutting Perforated Vinyl

[signsourcetx]

Hi all!

Just wanted to get some feedback on what what blade/settings people were using when cutting perforated vinyl on their plotters.

I will be doing a job that will require a lot of plotting on 3M dual color perforated vinyl and I have never run it through my plotter (mimaki cg160-fx) before. I'm wondering if it would be better to use a 60° blade or just stick with my standard 37°.

Thanks in advance for any input!

I haven't cut perf in a while, but seems like slow cut speeds would work fine with either blade....you may need to print some extra crops on clear or lam and place them over the original crops, from what I remember our CG was finicky with reading crops on some materials.

Thanks!
I ended up slowing the speed down to 3 with a 56° blade... cuts super slow but super clean!
