Cutter Blade Reference Guide
o
Increase blade extension because adhesive may be too thick and is not being cut all the way through.
o
Replace blade with a sharper blade to ensure it can cut through the adhesive.
o
Use a blade with a higher angle. Low angle blades may not cut through adhesive effectively.
o
Increase pen pressure because the liner could be soft and is absorbing the adhesive causing it to gel
together.
Curved Corners
•
Problem: Corners don’t look right.
•
Possible Solutions:
o
The offset is not correct.
Image A demonstrates optimal offset.
Image B demonstrates not enough offset (curved corners).
