Is the Perf a separate outer shape to the Kiss Cut? If not, most people (myself included) aim to get their cut settings dialed in just right so that the shapes hold enough for the feed action, but pop out easily / cleanly when the batch is done. Perf action slows production down and puts more wear on the machine, blade, strip etc

Blade is out too far and too much pressure.
Try straight cut instead of perf.

Use the perf channel, but don't use the cut line setting.
As well turn on tsngential - there's node 1 and 2... I use node 2 and fkrnsharo corners like this it works perfectly. For a star, I'd turn on overcut as well if I were still having issues... That way it'll start the cut before the tick and make sure it goes all the way through at the tick.
And yes, your blade may be out a tad too far... Sharp corners on perf cuts are hard. We usually add a round edge when we have something so tiny to perf - ie well kiss cut the star to shape then Add a .1" boffser and perf cut that. We tell the customer it's our "easy peel" option that allows them to peel the kiss cut away without bending the corners on the sticker... No one has ever complained and we actually get a lot of people coming to us requesting it on all their stickers. We used to do a lot of split back stickers.... Now everyone wants a perf bleed, which is easier for us, so win win.

Without perf cut on, it cuts well, with line pattern switched off. I have new blade and its cutting good in the diecut channel.
No I was trying to perf cut the star, So I should only put as small amount of perf cuts so it pops out but doesnt do loads of jumping up and down, so more length before a cut?

You can Kiss cut the star shape then straight or perf cut a square box around it, your choice.
The end user can peel it out of the square.

Thanks
Thanks for your reply above, can you take a pic and upload of an example? Or do you mind elaborating on 1" boffser? You mean Border off set? like +1Inch with the same shape or?
Thank you bro, can I ask why it makes a difference? Does offset have different paths?I need to start proof reading before I hit submit...
.1" offset. I usually do .2", but it all depends on the shapes.
Perf cutting is the blade thing in deep, when it goes around a sharp corner of lifts the vinyl to as it lifts.
A .2" offset cut makes the cut not as intricate. You still kid cut to the start shape, then the perf cut has more room to work with. And if it lifts the perf cut... It doesn't affect your kis cut or pay off the image that matters.

If the media is skewing while cutting, cut shorter sheets or replace the rubber feed rollers. Then,
If you can find a push roller assembly and you can program the 7000 to read the extra roller it will work great. If you can't program it shave the sensor tab off and it will great as well.
I think the main reason is that I was not adding 90mmfor thr sensor so it was mis-aligning on this step. I'm not sure how to program extra sensor so I won't do that I guess. Thanks for the suggestions mate
