Because tint is thin and the end-user will be cutting larger shapes. The slower speed and lower force will help
the tint avoid getting caught in the cutter and getting wrinkled.
4.4 Paint Protection Film with MUSE M60
Normal Paint Protection Film using a MUSE 60-degree blade and the Muse Blade Holder
Paint Protection Film is a PVC lm with a thickness of 6 mil, although some kinds are 9 or 12 mil thick,
depending on the brand.
This material is meant for medium-term paint protection of automotive fenders, rear bumpers, and deck or
side skirts. Because of the thickness of this lm, a 60-degree blade is recommended.
The blade exposure should be adjusted so that it will only cut as deep as the lm. Please use the box test
presented in Section 2.1.
The Force will be about 15-20 on the sliding scale. Aim for the lower number when using a new and serviceable
blade and make adjustments as the blade dulls. The pressure could vary depending on the blade holder as
well.
For the Speed on the sliding scale, use the normal speed of 6-7. Since the vinyl is thicker, the Overcut should be
turned on as well. The ideal Overcut is about .3-in to .5-in (0.75-cm to 1.25-cm).
4.5 Scribe Engraving with MUSE M24
Scribe Engraving using a MUSE Scribe Engraver
When you place the scribe tool into the tool carriage, line up the second line of the tool with the top of the
arm.
You will need to increase Force and slow down the tool carriage, as well as use the ability to send multi passes.
That will help with a smooth engraving. Force can be around 20-40 and Speed for US and VS can be around 5 -
8.
The material for scribing is a little thicker than sign vinyl. This will be great for using the pressure levers for the
pinch rollers.
NOTE: All suggested settings are a starting point, depending on the media adjustments that may be
required based on the media itself.
