Ioline
Suggested Settings
There are many variables that determine signcutter output quality. Ioline rec-
ommends using low force and speed settings when making the initial test
cuts. Gradually increase these settings until the best values for the material are
found. Refer to Table 1 below for settings for a variety of material types.
Force values are for starting reference only. These settings may vary due to
manufacturer, color, age, and temperature of the material.
