Cutter settings
The following cut pressure (For Cricut) and force (For Silhouette) settings are only for reference. You can further adjust settings on your cutter software based on your test cuts results.
General rules:
- If the cutouts float over the flock a bit, then reduce the pressure / force. If some of the cutouts are still adequately attached to the flock, then increase the pressure / force.
- You only need to adjust pressure / force, follow our suggestions for all other parameters listed below.
- You may need to run several test cuts and do a few setting adjustments before concluding the most suitable setting for your machine.
- The setting may need to adjust over time due to the wear and tear of the blade and reduction of stickness of your cutting mat.
- Please always make sure your cutting mat is sticky as the first and major "weeding" is from the mat's stickness itself.
