Help with Perf cut on Graphtech FC-7000

[Supergirl]

Hi,

i watched Graphtec's video, and I can get it to perf cut my laminated printed vinyl, BUT the cut looks very rough. I'm using the cutting master 2 plugin for illustrator.

I read that people put transfer tape on the back and cut thru (not perf pattern) but i'm not sure i understand it right.


Also, how in the world do you make the backing paper split? never tried it, just curious


I'd appreciate any help with the perf cut techniques.


Thanks,

Tea

I've tried to perf cut with the same cutter as you with limited success. It was a little rough around the edges and the cutting strip is getting a little worn. I'm in the process of upgrading to a Summa cutter and these issues will be a thing of the past.

You have to move the blade to the gap ahead of the cutting strip. Don't tear up your cutting strip lol
My settings for FC-8000 are Tool 3
cut line pattern on
up 0.8 mm
cut 20 mm

try that

LOL way to start a 5 MONTH old post...

I gave up on it

I print and cut, then just separate them all manually.
I assume that there are tools, but my volume wouldn't justify the purchase.

Good luck!
