stretch factor will need to be adjusted to compensate for the thicker material and different feed
speed.
Adjusting Knife Pressure over time.
Eventually, the knife blade will begin to wear and require more cut pressure to cut at the same
depth as when it was brand new and sharper. Therefore, you may need to add cut pressure when
cutting any media even the High Gloss Paper.
To determine if cut pressure needs to be increased or decreased, follow these steps.
1.
Print and Cut 1 copy and then attempt to peel the label from the liner.
2.
Check for tear. If the label tears when you remove it, you will need to increase the cut
pressure. Increase pressure in small increments to avoid over compensating and cutting
through the liner.
3.
Check the liner. Once you peel up the label, check the liner. If it has been cut through,
decrease pressure.
4.
Continue increasing or decreasing pressure until the label no longer tears when
removed or the liner is not cut through.
