Advice on cutting 2mm stripes on a Graphtec Cutter?
Just setting up some cutting for later on. Am I mad to attempt to cut 2mm x 1m stripes on the Graphtec?
I know you can buy this on a roll but its an emergency.:police: Mod-Edit

not mad at all harry, but put them in the middle of 5mm box (weed border) if you are using apptape, it helps to keep them a straight when applying and you can use the edge as a guide, if that makes sense

Thanks for the quick rely Peter, I understand what you are saying but client puts these on by eye. He may find a big difference trying to keep 2mm rather than his usual 5mm straight though. 😀

Just while I am on the subject, whenever I try to cut long straight runs the cutter has a tendency to randomly cut through the backing paper..not an awful lot but enough to be annoying.
I have played with pressure setting but then it randomly doesn’t cut at all. Do I just have to live with it?:police: Mod-Edit

if your graphtec has a vertical encoder strip in the knife holder mech, then give it a blast of air. a bit of dirt on that will give different depths throughout a cut.
and or a uneven cutting strip. -
Cheers Chris, I will have a look at that….time my machine got a service anyways.
