uneven cut on this only , everything else is 100%. if you notices in the attachment the left sticker is very jagged... thats what they want at their gym... I tried to sell them on the cloud cut but they want the jagged edge "hairlike" outlike, and I cant go very far more out without it loosing its look they want.

any recommendations for cutting and them to come out nicely? tbh, they do not look bad at when the backing is off, because most of the uglyness is coming from the backing not being perfectly cut..
i use a flatbed fcx2000, maybe i do go up 2 force on this condition since that profile only moves in twos... any other recommendations though however? even the cleanliness...

I am however still Kinda learning the blade heighth vs cut material thickness, and then turning up the force to compensate for that change so ill be working on it unless somoene can help me otherwise til then!

thank you

I just tell people it can't be done. If my machine won't do a good job on it, and I know from experience that it's going to look bad and be a pain, I just tell them no. There's so many reasons a cut like that isn't a good idea.

First I'd try a little distraction with an even more abstract color border and see it we get lucky. Otherwise I'd have ZERO problem telling them that jaggy cut is not gonna fly.

Pretty sure I could cut a whole sheet of the simpler die-cut in the time it takes to cut one of the jaggy...

... can you set the blade to kiss-cut the contour and then give even a square cut through the backer? contour cut stickers originally were only kiss-cut so the larger backer could be used to help peel the sticker when applying... using the through-cut to contour the sticker causes issues when the blade cannot track the turns when plunged through the media and backer. (as you said, it is the backer that has the issue, the stickers still usually look good - but the whole package will look better with a kiss-cut for the contour.)
