How do I send a test cut in Cutting Master 4

[Joshua Barnes]

I'm using the Cutting Master 4 plugin in illustrator. I've figured out just about everything I need except for doing a test cut. I've found where to do it directly in Cutting Master, but I can't figure out how to do a test cut based on the pressure settings in the plugin. Any help would be awesome.

Hi Joshua, probably not much help to you but we always have to test the pressure on the cutter itself rather than on CM4 (we are using a Graphetc), haven't found a way to do it in CM at all.

best way is to set up a dummy file and just tell it to cut. some small text a square a circle.

That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. In the Cutting Master 3 plugin, the option was right there on the same menu where you would send a job. I use multiple types of media, and don't like having to change the machine settings over and over. Makes room for too many errors.

Test the pressure on the cutter itself rather than on CM4 or any other print and cut. I do this on my Graphetc
