Pouncing
CAUTION: Before you run a pounce job, install a pounce strip over
the cut strip on the plotter. The reusable strip attaches to the plotter
and protects the cut strip from damage. After the pounce jobs are
finished, remove this protective strip.
Pouncing creates a perforated graphic outline on paper. Instead of
cutting or drawing, pouncing punches holes in material with a special
Gerber tool, which is purchased separately. The optional pounce tool
looks like an awl or a sewing needle. It is driven down into the paper to
make a series of small holes.
A pounce pattern can be used to align vinyl letters on a large job or chalk
an outline for letters or artwork that will be hand painted.
Pounce patterns
The pounce pattern is a dotted line. Spacing between dots can be set to
one of three patterns – short, medium, and long.

When pouncing small objects or text, use the short setting. For larger
shapes, use either medium or long patterns.
Pounce strip
A pounce strip is a foam pad on a self-stick strip of vinyl. The strip is
reusable as long as the strip is clean, undamaged from repeated use, and
is sticky on the bottom.
