fe8600 Scimming top of vinyl

[Darion Judd]

I've been printing a lot of mx graphics with 6mil vinyl and 20mil laminate. I've been having a problem with the blade scoring the laminate when it crosses the material. Obviously the blade has to be exposed more then normal to cut through the material. Am I the only one with this issue and has anyone ever found a solution for this?

I have customers who use an in-feed and out-feed table when cutting thick graphics so that it doesn't have a curve in the media. This seems to work well for them and if you do this a lot, it should pay off. If you do it exclusively, you should consider getting a flat bed cutter.

I have had that problem even with regular vinyl when maybe it was stored improperly and sits high..
There is a setting where you can increase the height of the blade between cutting: Setting The Tool Up Height - Graphtec FC8000 SERIES User Manual [Page 152]
