Can anyone give me a base setting for my cutter pressure when cutting vehicle graphic media after I laminate it? I use about 85 for unlaminated now and a real slow cut speed.

How long is a piece of string?
There are so many variables to this, only your own testing it going to give you an accurate answer.
Things like laminate and media thicknesses (cast vs. poly vs. mono are all different) as well as blade depth in the holder, age of blade all play vital parts to the equation.
I would take a stab at 130 and work from there if 85 is working at the moment. How slow is "slow"? We cut most jobs at 300mm/sec without any issues, nice sharp corners and smooth curves.

85 for non laminated it very high which means your blade probably isn't installed properly or is just very worn down. On a brand new blade I usually see 35 grams for non-laminated and anywhere between 85 and 110 on laminated but it completely depends on what material you are using which is why they give you the test cut feature to figure it out for each situation.
