FIG 1-27
1-27 KNIFE PRESSURE TEST PATTERN
Peel out the rectangle and inspect the media backing.
The knife depth is set correctly when the test pattern cuts completely through the vinyl.
and the blade tip visibly scratched the front side of the media backing when the vinyl is
removed. The blade should never cut in the backing but should only slightly scratch the
silicon coating and first few fibers of the backing material. Because the knife pressure
setting depends on the thickness and type of the media, adjusting the knife pressure will
require some practice. In general, the knife depth must be increased when using thicker
types of vinyl and decreased when using thinner types of vinyl.
NOTE: After setting the cutting depth and/or the knife pressure, perform a
thorough visual check of the knife blade, protruding from the knife holder and
test the cutting results on a scrap of vinyl media.
WARNING:
Do not operate the cutter if the knife blade cuts through the media
backing, as this will seriously damage the cutter's rubber cutting strip and the
knife.
