upgrade
Hi Guys,
I have just upgraded after 13 years from a lynx sign-pal 60 to a Jaguar IV. I have managed to get it cutting from Sign-lab 7.1 but my problem is its fine cutting it all out but when I’m weeding the econofilm vinyl the larger objects are fine but the smaller detail is lifting with the vinyl (not staying down on the backing)
I never set up the sign pal as it was done for me so unsure what settings I need, velocity and force etc. Can anyone please be so kind as to recommend what settings are best for the Jaguar using Sign-lab. Plus any additional info I need to know about the Jaguar as its all new to me 🙂
Thanks in advance
Tina

may not be the cutter.
most cheap vinyls i have come across are a pain to weed small stuff do to the low release backing. higher quality vinyls tend to stick a little more to the backing. try a different make vinyl.some vinyls if left a time after cutting the glue joints it self back together making it a pain to weed. test by weeding as soon as its cut see if there is a difference.

Best way to set up correctly is by trial & error. Not want you want to hear I am sure but there are so many different variables to take into account that what works best for one person might not be best for another.
Work by making small changes to just one setting at a time. -
thanks, its just that i had a job to complete today and needed it working asap. Have to play around with it, its just that its so differnt to my other plotter

Katrina if you are cutting details on that image less than 10mm then if using a standard 45 degree blade then slow the cut speed down too allow the blade to do the job, otherwise you can get a small text blade from ourselves which I have done 4mm lower case lettering without a problem.
As mentioned in earlier posts, small text less adhesion to the backing sheet so as the blade completes the cut on a small letter it can flick that letter out.
The rule I follow is the smaller I cut the slower the cut speed.
