Blade
2.
Extend the blade little by little to the thickness of the media.
Optimal blade length is less than the thickness of film and backing sheet combined, but more than the
thickness of the film.
Try cutting the film, and adjust so there is slight cutting on the backing sheet. If the backing sheet gets cut
completely, reduce the blade length, and if the film does not get cut completely, increase the blade length.
